When my son David qualified to
run Boston, I was very proud of him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
never even considered banditing the race.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I never bandited a race in my life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I have registered and paid for all 195 races I have done over the past 6
years since I have become a runner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then
I heard about how bandits are a big part of the Boston Marathon and how it’s
even encouraged.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I thought it sounded
like a great idea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After all, I was a
runner and would be in Boston, so why not run the course while I was
there?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would start at the back of the
pack after all the officially registered runners started.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wouldn’t take anything from the aid
stations as I would bring my own CamelBak and nutrition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just to get to run that historic course would
be a great opportunity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was completely
prepared to partake in this age-old Boston tradition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I booked a hotel room for us, bought bus
passes to the start line and trained my body to run the distance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
A couple weeks before the race, I
was reading through some news articles regarding the new rules in place for the
2014 Boston Marathon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Among them were
listed:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“No hydration packs” and
“Absolutely no bandits.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I read about
how the military members who marched with their 40 pound ruck sacks every year
to commemorate their fallen comrades would not even be allowed on the course
this year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, one of the groups who
has unofficially run the course for the past 40 years, the Red Snakes, would
also not be running for the first time ever.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Security would be more than doubled along the course and no one without
an official Boston Marathon bib would be allowed on the course, and if they
were discovered, they would face immediate “interdiction.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had to look that word up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It simply means “removed from the
course.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It sounds a lot worse than it
actually is.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I searched the Internet for any
information I could find about Boston bandits and what their plans were for
this year’s race.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All I could find was
page after page of “no bandits this year” and how people who planned to bandit
or bandited in the past would not be participating this year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wondered if I should even attempt such a
feat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It sounded totally impossible with
this year’s strict security guidelines in place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I considered alternate courses I could run or
thought about even running along the sidewalks of the course.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I mean, I trained for this and already paid
for lodging and transportation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was
going to be in Boston and I was going to run – one way or another.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just wasn’t sure how or where I would be
doing it.</div>

replicate one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know -- I could bring
my laptop and portable printer/scanner with me to the race and scan my son’s
race bib after he picked it up and make a copy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I started researching what the 2014 race bibs would look like.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I searched for images of previous years’
bibs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I even found some sample images of
this year’s race bibs in a Boston Marathon brochure, but I couldn’t be sure
what I created would match until I saw an official race bib in person.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, I would need paper like the kind they
use for race bibs that is tear-proof and water resistant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Where could I get that?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Would it work with my inkjet printer?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, I found the Tyvek inkjet paper online
and in 2 days, Amazon Prime delivered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After a great deal of research and planning, I created my 2014 Boston
Marathon race bibs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I found unused race
numbers by searching the registered racers online and created bibs for waves 1,
2, and 4 with appropriate bib numbers, corral numbers, and working
barcodes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I used an “Olympic Size” race
bib template I found online since that seemed to be the size that previous
racers were wearing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I made six
bibs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Two red, two white and two yellow,
each with slightly different shading so I would be more likely to have an exact
match.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the ones I created at home did
not look right, I would try to make another one with my portable printer/scanner
at the hotel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If it wasn’t perfect
looking, I wouldn’t even attempt to enter the race.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After my son picked up his official race bib,
I looked at it and was amazed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It seemed
to appear exactly as the ones I created.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I was happy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only thing that
I noticed was that the text on his red bib was white and mine was black.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would have to use a different color
bib.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I decided on the white because it
would be the easiest to match.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was
right.</div>

filming us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I smiled as David got his
packet since I thought we might be on camera.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We then went to the other room to pick up his shirt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we were about the exit the large room, the
woman who had previously been holding a camera approached us and asked if she
could ask David a few questions and said that she was with CBS National
News.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, we obliged.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They gave David a microphone that attached
inside of his hoody and we waited for the woman and her male counterpart to get
the camera set up and ready.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He asked
David a few questions about the race and how he felt about last year’s tragedy
and how it would impact this year’s race.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>David gave them his name and phone number.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We shook their hands and left the expo to go
meet up with other Michigan runners at the finish line for some pictures.<br />

We checked into our hotel after a
needlessly long route through downtown Boston mapped out by our GPS and got
settled in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I looked in the TV guide to
find out what channel CBS was on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
flipped to channel 74 and golf or something was on, so I found something else
to watch while I got unpacked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A little
after 6pm, I thought I should go back to CBS because I thought the Sunday
evening news started at 6:00 rather than 6:30.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>No sooner than I flipped to channel 74 did I see them talking about the
Boston Marathon and 2 seconds later, there is David and I on TV and the
interview with David!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We (well, mostly
David) were on the national news!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That
doesn’t happen every day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Very
cool.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If only David would have combed
his hair.</div>

Later that evening, we decided to try out the subway and practice how
we would be getting to the bus in the morning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The subway ride was entertaining, to say the least.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had a nice pre-race dinner at Whiskey’s on
Boylston St.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I really wanted a pint of
the Sam Adams 26.2 Brew, but they ran out of it about an hour before we got
there, so I had to settle for 2 pints of Boston Lager instead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Still good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We didn’t get back to the hotel until about 11:00pm and had to get up at
5:30am.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We set all of our things out and
set an alarm for an early morning adventure.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
5:30 came quickly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I got right up, washed my face, brushed my
teeth, fixed my hair and got dressed for the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wore David’s long sleeve Boston Marathon
tech shirt as a warm up shirt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I would
tie it around my waist if/when I got too warm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We packed up all our things, checked out of our hotel, and headed to the
subway via the hotel shuttle bus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Everything went smoothly as we found our way to the Back Bay Hilton
where we waited inside for our ride.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
had our bus ticket, a PowerCrunch Bar, 2 bananas and a RockStar Energy
Drink.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I didn’t want anyone we knew to
see me getting on the bus and wanted to keep a very low profile.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fortunately, we made it on the first bus
without a hitch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a long ride to
Hopkington.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Traffic was terrible on the
freeway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our 26.2 mile ride took over 45
minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our bus driver took us on a
couple of wrong turns, but eventually we made it to the high school right next
to the Athlete’s Village.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
David and I got off the bus and
headed to the nearest Porta-Potties.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There was no line!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I waited for a
while for David to exit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He went in
wearing his Bay City St. Patrick’s Day Race shirt and came out wearing only a
t-shirt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Apparently there was no toilet
paper in his Porta-Potty either.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just
used the toilet paper roll since I only had to go number one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>David had to sacrifice a shirt for the cause.<br />

into Athlete’s Village.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had to go
through a security checkpoint where they waved a metal detector over our bodies
before we could even venture down the sidewalk to the village.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We made it through that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next, as we entered the athlete holding area where
we were required to show our bibs to gain entrance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I lifted up my warm up shirt and displayed my
bib.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was given the green light and
entered with ease.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I gave David a high
five.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another obstacle hurdled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We walked into the reserved area just in time
for wave 1 to start lining up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I got a couple of quick photos and said goodbye to David as he left to enter his corral
for a 10:00am start time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The 2<sup>nd</sup>
wave, which was the one I was to run in, according to my white bib color, would
begin at 10:25am.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I got in the huge long
line for the Porta-Potty in the Athlete’s Village since they said there weren’t
any others before the start line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I got
to the front of the line by 10:18am and had a 0.7 mile jog to the start line
from the holding area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I removed my
overshirt and tied it around my waist.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>My bib was examined before I could leave for my corral and I was passed
through.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I headed to corral 7 as
indicated by the number on my bib.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As we
entered the corral area, we passed by a house which had a sign “Beer, Donuts
and Cigarettes” and I could see them handing out donuts and Bud Lights as
people passed by.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not many took
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Had it been 15 miles into the
race, I may have grabbed a beer or even a doughnut, but not this early into it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At 10:36am, I was at the start line and about
the run the Boston Marathon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I made it!

The first mile was mostly downhill and there was no way to run it
conservatively.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I just had to go with
gravity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not soon after came a bunch of
rolling hills.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, the whole course
was gradual hills.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not flat, but not
really tough either.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The best part? The
crowds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were people lining the
entire 26.2 mile race course.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And not
just standing there, they were holding signs, offering refreshments and
shouting words of encouragement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There
were bands at various points.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I saw a
bagpiper.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I saw Santa Claus and Big
Bird.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I gave more high fives in one day
than I have in my entire life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I tried
to high five all the children I saw.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Some as young as 2 years old.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So
sweet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was iconic running this
historic course and entering each of the towns:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Hopkington, Ashland, Framingham, Natick (which seemed to go on forever),
Wellesley, Newton, Brookline and finally Boston.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The screaming girls with various signs asking
for kisses at Wellesley was amazing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
line of them seemed to go one for about a mile! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I slapped hands with them for a few blocks
until my arm got sore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I even blew a
kiss to a couple of them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The rowdy
crowd at Boston College was great too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
never felt so much like a rock star in my life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>All along the course people shouted out to me (dozens of times at
least), “Family Force!” That was my nickname apparently since I was wearing my
Family Force 5 tank top.<br />

consistent through mile 16.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span> that,
I took walk breaks as needed. Another
highlight was passing by Team Hoyt at around 10 miles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What an inspiration!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At “Heartbreak Hill” around mile 20-21, I
walked up the hills and ran down from there on out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I sent my husband text messages along the
way: I’m at mile 14, 17, 20, 24…Finished!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, when I was around mile 23, I got a text from David saying that
he hyperextended his hip flexor and had to drop out at mile 20 and would be at
the medical tent at the finish line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh
no!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I texted back, “Be there in about 30
min.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had new inspiration to finish
now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I needed to get to David.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also needed to finish this race for
him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After all, this was his race.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He qualified.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It was because of his efforts that I was able to be here at all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I texted him again around mile 24, “Did you
get a medal?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No reply.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I found out he was at Boston College and was
waiting to be transported to the finish line area and had no idea when he might
get there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I pushed myself to finish the
race.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The pinky toenail on my right foot
was cutting hard into the fourth toe and it hurt with every step.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The bottom of my feet felt like giant
blisters at this point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I kept
pushing and taking short walk breaks as needed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Finally I saw the sign “1K to Go.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I never
realized how long 1K was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After about 3 sharp turns, I finally saw the finish line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I crossed with my arms raised.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I got a medal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not for myself, but for David.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was not going to claim a medal, but I’m
glad I got one because otherwise David would not have received one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was “our” medal of achievement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>David qualified and I ran.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was our medal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our race.<br />

lot of text messages, David and I finally found each other in the family
meeting area and found our way back to the subway station.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was glad he could walk because I was
worried about how we would get back to our hotel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was very disappointed about not
finishing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who wouldn’t be?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I’m still proud of him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You see, David doesn’t have a “low
gear.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is a competitive runner and
pushes himself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s how he got to
Boston in the first place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s also
how he got injured at Boston.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nothing to
be ashamed of there.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
Our hotel had special rooms
reserved for marathoners to shower at after the race.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We took advantage of that and cleaned up
before beginning the arduous 12 hour drive back to Michigan.<br />

nothing short of amazing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was worried
and nervous about how I would get into the race.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every time a policeman or soldier looked at
me on the course, I wondered if they knew.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Each time I crossed a timing mat, I sped up so I would cross at the same
time as another runner in case they were keeping track of beeps or anything as
people crossed the mats.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I avoided pre-
and post-race photographers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I didn’t
publicize my experience, didn’t gloat and didn’t steal the thunder of anyone
who ran officially.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I totally respect
and support those who ran the race legitimately.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is their time to shine and be
recognized.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My achievement is something
deeply personal and the memories will be with me for a lifetime.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I ran the Boston Marathon in 4:13:36 (26.64
miles, 9:31 average pace).<br />

I've seen several people post this article and have read a lot of "interesting" comments<span> from
people ranging from how ugly the shoes are to how they are certain that
these shoes contributed to their own injury to still others who remain
loyal to their "toe shoes."<br /><br />First of all, I don't think Vibram
(pronounced VEE-brum) did anything deceptive in their advertising;
nothing every other running shoe company already does to promote their
product. Or just about any company who claims that their product will
make you "better, stronger, healthier or faster." It's ADVERTISING. Far,
far, FAR more people have been injured wearing traditional running
shoes than in Vibrams. Yet, they aren't suing the shoe companies. Yet.<br /><br />When
transitioning from a standard, heel-elevated, cushioned running shoe to
a zero-drop minimalist shoe, one needs to do so gradually to build up
the muscles that haven't previously been used (calves, ankles, feet). If
one does too much too soon (commonly abbreviated TMTS in barefoot
running circles), you are guaranteed to get injured. I did when I first
switched from Asics to Vibrams. But it was my own fault. I wanted to
jump right into minimalist running. I was off for 6 weeks with peroneal
tendonitis and had to postpone my first marathon. I went to a (quack)
podiatrist who never heard the word "minimalist" before and scoffed at
me. He "prescribed" Spira Stinger running shoes along with custom
orthotics. I followed his orders and ended up with aching knees and sore
hips. I went back to my Vibrams, but did so more gradually and really
learned to listen to my body.<br /><br />I have been running minimalist and
barefoot, wearing only zero-drop shoes, for the past 5 years. I have run
4 marathons in Vibrams. I have not been injured since my initial TMTS
experience. I love my Vibrams and also my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/notes/jennifer-ayers-gould/my-response-to-the-vibram-lawsuit/10152062727520855#" role="button">Altra Running</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/notes/jennifer-ayers-gould/my-response-to-the-vibram-lawsuit/10152062727520855#" role="button">Vivobarefoot</a>, and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/notes/jennifer-ayers-gould/my-response-to-the-vibram-lawsuit/10152062727520855#" role="button">Merrell</a> zero-drop shoes.<br /><br />Although
I practice a minimalist running philosophy, I advocate that everyone
find a shoe that works for them and to stick with it, whether it be a
monster pair of Hokas, a pair of stability or motion-control Brooks, or
no shoes at all! If someone asks me why I run barefoot, I let them know
that since doing so, I have been injury-free with no knee pain. It works
for me! I also suggest that everyone do a little bit of barefoot
training to strengthen the underused muscles that don't get worked in
regular training shoes. But I definitely don't suggest that my way is
superior or advocate that *everyone* go minimalist. I support all
runners and their decision to put what they want on their feet. I just
ask the same respect in return.<br /><br />It's sad that we live in such a
litigious society. I will continue to stand behind Vibram and think that
anyone collecting money from this lawsuit is a moron who deserves to be
injured. Haters gonna hate.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/10/_n_5302213.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/10/_n_5302213.html</a></span><br />

I have degrees in music, nursing, childbirth education and web design. I love to run, exercise, dance, garden, create art, travel, read, relax, do yoga, eat healthy, explore spirituality, and be around animals/nature. There are not enough hours in the day to pursue all of my interests and I often find it difficult to focus on one for any particular length of time. My life involves a great deal of multitasking, often due to sheer necessity. But, what if I could focus on one thing that would bring me the most satisfaction? That one thing in which I could find success and fulfillment? The most compelling interest that I could pursue? What would that be? I was recently asked that if I had to choose the one area of interest that would be my favorite. The answer was quick and effortless. Without hesitation, I said, "Music."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If there is one thing that I am most devotedly passionate about, it is music. It is the complex union of rhythm, melody, spirituality, poetry, art and dance that paints an auditory picture that evokes a deep, emotional, soular response. Music allows me to most accurately express those introspective thoughts and feelings I have in my heart and also allows me to experience others' thoughts and feelings in that same unique and powerful way.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I got my degree in music, which is something I always knew I wanted to pursue, my husband (and I'm sure others as well) felt that it was just a "hobby" and a "wasted degree" since it wouldn't generate a steady income unless I were to be a dedicated teacher, which is something I did not want to do. I majored in music performance in flute and voice. Music is my passion. It is my calling; my vocation. Although I enjoy having nice things in life, living in a beautiful home and having the ability to buy just about anything I want (within reason), I would be equally content living in a one room apartment so long as I were able to make music and live out my ambition.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Being a musician is not exactly conducive to life when you have four children, a home, a husband and several miscellaneous pets to care for. You can't just sit at the piano (if you are lucky enough to actually have a piano) all day and allow the spirit to channel inspiration through you and create amazing harmonies and insightful lyrics. In fact, one may rarely even have the time to be inspired at all amidst the chaos. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I became a runner about four years ago. I enjoy being physically active and pushing myself to my limits. But, perhaps one of the best things about running is the time I get away from home, out in nature, <i>by myself</i>, and the ability to listen to my iPod. I absolutely love filling my ears with my favorite music and drowning out the noise of the world around me while I move my body to the beat. It reminds me of growing up and the hours upon hours I would spent holed up in my bedroom listening to music. Music has always been my refuge. I need to surround myself with music and be one with it. It is who I am and where I feel most complete and at home. Heaven must be absolutely filled with music. Good music.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have never been a stellar musician. For one, I never put the amount of time practicing as I should have. Too many other interests and distractions got in the way. The other part is the fact that I married at age 19 and had my first child at age 21. My family demanded my attention and that is where it needed to be. I had my youngest child just six years ago. He just started school last year and is still far from being independent. Parenting still demands a great deal of time and attention. Devoting myself to my "hobby" simply isn't an option. I always imagine that "some day" I will have the time to devote to writing and performing music, but wonder if, realistically, "some day" will ever come.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I recently had an opportunity which reignited the flame of musical passion within me. I had the rare and extraordinary blessing of having my favorite band, <a href="http://familyforce5.com/" target="_blank">Family Force 5</a>, come to my home for the day. The band was raising money for an upcoming album and there were a few options available to host a "house party" for a larger (although no where near as much as you'd expect it would be) donation amount. I contemplated for about 24 hours before deciding that it was far too great an opportunity to let pass. I couldn't take that chance, so I pledged for an acoustic house party. The conditions stated that the band would come to your house to perform an acoustic set and that you couldn't invite more than 50 people or charge admission. Well, I don't even know 50 people and why would I invite anyone else who might be a distraction from getting to enjoy time with my musical idols? I wasn't going to share them with anyone if I didn't have to. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Two months before the house party, I had another very unique opportunity with my favorite band. They had another pledge drive to raise money to produce a music video. Those who pledged money for the video would also be able to be in the video. I chose to be a "biter" in their <a href="http://youtu.be/cJ344IqA8Vk" target="_blank">"Zombie" video</a>. The shoot took place on the night of May 12, 2012 in downtown Columbus, Ohio. It was a really, really long night. My scene wasn't even shot until almost 4:00am. I got to eat dinner with the band beforehand (since I was one of the V.I.Z.'s) so they got to know me a little. They said I was one of the scariest looking zombies, so that helped to create a bit of an impression. In my "scene," I got to infect the lead guitarist, Derek, with the zombie virus by biting his arm. That was fun. The next evening, they had a "Zombie Wrap Concert" and I got to spend more time talking with the band after the concert. Family Force 5 are not only extremely creative, versatile and talented, but are probably the most accessible band I have ever met.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gdLbaXoLSyg/UAiF6UJFpLI/AAAAAAAAAIM/1UajBh6JwQs/s1600/2012-07-14_19-50-58_194.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gdLbaXoLSyg/UAiF6UJFpLI/AAAAAAAAAIM/1UajBh6JwQs/s320/2012-07-14_19-50-58_194.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
The day of the house party was pretty jam-packed. We picked the guys up from their bus, which was parked at the mall about four miles away, at about 3:15pm. It took two trips to bring everyone and their instruments back to the house. Along with the five band members, their merch girl, Danielle, and their friend/video director <a href="http://tubopopcorn.com/" target="_blank">Isaac Deitz</a> also came along. I was so blessed that Isaac got to come since he was the one who directed the "Zombie" video and also many of the band's other videos along with their incredible cult classic YouTube series, "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBEC65663F9AB7DEC&feature=plcp" target="_blank">Really Real Show</a>." We chilled/talked for about half an hour before diving right into a little Rock Band 3. We did a couple of songs and the band did one song (their own song, "Radiator," on which we scored higher than they did). I then started working on dinner -- porterhouse steak for 12! I wanted to make them a high quality home-cooked meal that was something they couldn't get on the road. Unfortunately, the steaks were a bit overdone, but I've never made so many before. We had a wonderful meal and conversation to match. Everyone was very polite and complimentary. Derek and Danielle even raved about my kale chips. Isaac and Derek played basketball with my youngest children for a while before we ventured off for a boat ride. All the adults (9 of us) took a pontoon boat ride down the Kawkawlin River and into the Saginaw Bay and then up the Saginaw River to our marina. We enjoyed snacks, beverages and music together and Soli (the lead singer) even drove the boat for a while. As soon as we got back to the house, we head to the patio and lit a bonfire. They guys quickly set up their instruments and played some of their songs for us: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSMnrAJpEeo" target="_blank">Kountry Gentleman</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-gJTka_2rQ" target="_blank">Supersonic</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIvbtl6M5MA" target="_blank">You Got It</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spUYt4gSI_k" target="_blank">Radiator</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJ344IqA8Vk" target="_blank">Zombie</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nk1vLDUoSA" target="_blank">Keep the Party Alive</a>, and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ccNIjWcAnA&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PLB1633CE665587B6F" target="_blank">Love Addict</a>. My son Patrick joined them on his cajon. After they finished their set, I played and sang a song that I had written for them, "<a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/open_graph/song/13892451" target="_blank">5</a>." I messed it up in a few spots, but I sent a CD with them that had a good version on it. They gave me a big round of applause and many (undeserved) compliments. We loaded up their equipment, took a few photos in front of the fireplace and drove them back to their bus around 10:20pm. We got to hang out in the bus for a little while and see Xanadu (John Varnadoe) and Buzz (Chuck) who had stayed behind on the bus. As we were driving back home, the guys were walking across the parking lot and busy street to Wal-Mart, so we picked them back up and dropped them off at the front door to Wal-Mart. That was the last I saw them and the end to a day that I never wanted to end and will never forget.<br />

<br />
Since Family Force 5 left, I have felt an emptiness; a sadness; a hunger. Maybe it's because I no longer have something with such magnitude to look forward to. Maybe it's because it was such a joy to be around them and now they're gone. I should be basking in the glow of the memories we created, but instead I'm trying to find a way that I can be close to them again. They are electric. Being around them made me feel so much more alive. It made me want to focus on my music again. It reminded me why I chose to be a musician in the first place.<br />
<br />
It's time to turn the focus back to music. I have written two new songs in the last few months ("<a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/open_graph/song/13765258" target="_blank">Disconnected</a>" and "<a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/open_graph/song/13892451%20" target="_blank">5</a>") and I already have a title for my next album: "Into the Blue." I would like to create a couple of dance-able songs, if possible. I'm not sure I have it in me, but I am going to do my best to make it happen. I certainly have been blessed with some great sources of inspiration. With the help of God and my muses, anything is possible. I am praying that this new-found inspiration will guide me physically, musically, and spiritually to a place where I no longer feel empty, but complete; no longer sad, but joyful; no longer hungry, but satiated. And as always, I pray that whatever I do may be not for my own glory, but for the glory of God. <i><br />(I Cor 10:31)</i><br />

Running is a great opportunity to go places one wouldn't otherwise venture to and to participate in activities that wouldn't otherwise be possible. It's also a great motivation when you have something special to look forward to that isn't just another 5K on the same old course with the same old group of runners (no offense to my runner friends). :-)<br /><br />For 2012, I've decided to compose a "Race Wish List" with those races I want to participate in.

Tomorrow night, I will be running the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Headless-Horseman-5k10k/211440665580652" target="_blank">Headless Horseman 5K/10K</a> in Howell, MI. (I'm doing the 10K and my sons are both running the 5K). The race takes place at night on a course lit by luminaries and wanders through a cemetery. There is even a *real* headless horseman mascot and a costume contest. I'm going to dress as a bumblebee. Next weekend is the "<a href="http://www.runningfoundation.com/Run_Thru_Hell_Halloween.html" target="_blank">Run Thru Hell on Halloween Eve</a>" in Hell, MI. That race has a 5K and 8K option. I'm doing the 8K and my sons are running the 5K. There is a costume contest for that race as well. I'm dressing as an angel. :-)<br /><br />There is nothing eventful planned for November as we will be spending a week in Cancun for a conference. I plan on getting in a couple of runs there of course. I love the Garmin maps of runs in faraway places. I was looking for a good "Turkey Trot" race to do on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, but there is nothing within an hour from here and I'm not sure I want to travel that far just to have something to do that day.<br /><br />The big race this year is December 4, 2011 -- <a href="http://runrocknroll.competitor.com/las-vegas" target="_blank">The Las Vegas Rock 'n Roll Marathon</a>. We are doing a weekend getaway to Vegas and hoping to catch some shows, visit some shops and enjoy some good food before I run the Strip at night on Sunday. The marathon starts at 4pm and they are shutting down part of the Strip for the run. There are going to be live bands at every mile and Cheap Trick is the featured band. There is also an opportunity after the race to get your picture taken with a showgirl. I'll do it just because. I'm planning on wearing either gold lamé shorts/sports bra or a metallic purple shorts/sports bra combo for this flashy run. I'm hoping to have a good time and also qualify for Boston. Wish me luck!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><p></p><p align='center'><i>Originally posted at "<b><a href='http://runningagainstthegrain.blogspot.com' target='_blank'>Running Against the Grain</a></b>"</i></p></div>~*~ Jennifer ~*~http://www.blogger.com/profile/01927839057749030448noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384754485952547296.post-54384161725803973112011-06-29T07:35:00.002-04:002011-06-29T08:03:36.208-04:00Running WellThis post is long overdue, but I have been very busy actually *doing* things instead of thinking or writing about them. It has been a very productive year for me so far. I trained all winter and spring for my first marathon, the Traverse City Bayshore Marathon on May 28, 2011. My goal was to run under 4 hours and I succeeded: 3:53:27 -- 3 minutes off qualifying for Boston. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. I am looking at maybe doing another marathon late this year to try again. How hard can shaving off 3 minutes be? :)<br /><br />I have worn only minimalist (zero drop) shoes or ran barefoot since October 2010. I have had NO injuries other than sore calves after the marathon or an occasional achy ankle or knee that subsides within a day or two. I try to do a barefoot run of between 5 and 7 miles at least once a week now that the weather is nice. I would love to send a picture of me flying over the finish line at the marathon wearing my Vibram Bikilas to the idiot podiatrist who told me I could not run injury-free without wearing supportive shoes with springs in them and orthotics. I have proven that my foot is designed perfectly just the way it is and it functions quite well, thank you very much. <br /><br />I have run 18 races so far this year and not only completed my first marathon, but have also set a P.R. in the 5K (21:51). I ran my first 2 mile race (13:47) and won the "Iron Cheese" award at the annual Cheesetown Challenge in Pinconning for having the best combined 2 mile and 5 mile times for a woman under 40. My son David won the men's title. <br /><br />The rest of the year holds many more adventures. On July 4th, David and I run the annual Volksläufe 20K in Frankenmuth. Last year, I ran it but my ankle was barely recovered and I hadn't been able to train so I had to walk a fair amount. I am hoping to have a much faster time this year! And it will be the longest race David has ever run, although he has done 13 mile training runs. He is an excellent endurance runner. He will do great. At the end of July, we are signed up for the Warrior Dash, a 5K race and obstacle course with mud, fire, walls, nets and God-knows-what-else. In August, we are running the 25K Tahqua Trail run in the Upper Peninsula. I am hoping to be able to squeeze in the Las Vegas Rock 'n Roll marathon in December. We'll see. It will be a busy and exciting year for running.<br /><br />I would have to say that I am very pleased with how everything has come together -- raw vegan diet and barefoot running. It has been a long process but with persistence, I believe I have found satisfaction and success. I hope to be able to continue to move through the next series of challenges and become a stronger athlete and a better person.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><p></p><p align='center'><i>Originally posted at "<b><a href='http://runningagainstthegrain.blogspot.com' target='_blank'>Running Against the Grain</a></b>"</i></p></div>~*~ Jennifer ~*~http://www.blogger.com/profile/01927839057749030448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384754485952547296.post-46181892894661581482011-02-25T11:22:00.006-05:002011-02-25T12:22:35.336-05:00Connection or Deception?I read an <a href="http://skepticblog.org/2011/02/21/body-snatchers-phantom-limbs-and-alien-hands/?sms_ss=facebook&at_xt=4d679cf90d85013c%2C0">article</a> today <span style="font-style: italic;">[thank you, Greg :)]</span> about the neurological phenomenon of feeling separate from the universe, or, in the case of the removal of this mental barrier, feeling one with the universe. It suggested that the brain will inherently equip an individual with the concept of being solitary within the greater whole of the universe, and that by eliminating this cerebral veil (either by the use of hallucinogenic drugs or via some other natural psychoactive chemical process), one experiences what they sense to be a spiritual experience making them feel united with a greater whole. The article suggests (<span style="font-style: italic;">or at least it did to me</span>) that this bonding with nature is somehow an unnatural condition that dupes the human psyche into embracing the concept of a higher power (i.e. religiosity). In summary, the article seems to suggest that belief in God and feelings of universal connectedness are merely the result of mental breakdown.<br /><br />Sure, I think that there is a scientific rationale for all things mystical, albeit a primitive and incomplete explanation. What we can concretely measure and objectively observe with our current (inferior) methods is all that we can "prove" with our contemporary scientific methodology. But I have something immeasurable within me. My mind, my spirit, and my soul extend far beyond the walls of perceptible, measurable science. That I know. That I believe. <br /><br />There are times when I feel all alone in this world. It is as if I am an alien being amidst a hustling, bustling, interactive society which continually ebbs and flows all around me. It is a culture in which I feel foreign, unwanted and unimportant. Yet, there are other moments when I feel inherently a part of all there is. I am the water. I am the sky. I am the grass. I am the sun. I am the trees. I am the wind. I am the rain. I am one with all life. It is in those moments where my life-force joins together with all that has ever lived that I feel most alive.<br /><br />I would like to contest the notion that having this inherent individuation is "normal" or even desirable. I hold the belief that we are all part of the Divine; that each person is a unique expression of God. I also believe that we are born with intentional amnesia regarding our Divine origin and that the ultimate purpose of our lives is to rediscover and reconnect with our sacred lineage. This process is enlightenment. It connects us to all. It makes us one with All There Is. I can think of nothing more beautiful or profound.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><p></p><p align='center'><i>Originally posted at "<b><a href='http://runningagainstthegrain.blogspot.com' target='_blank'>Running Against the Grain</a></b>"</i></p></div>~*~ Jennifer ~*~http://www.blogger.com/profile/01927839057749030448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384754485952547296.post-15584738087037718002011-01-26T09:02:00.002-05:002011-01-26T09:34:52.908-05:00New Year, New GoalsLooking ahead to the coming year, I have many goals already planned. I have been working hard to improve my fitness and reestablish my running routine to include 40-50 mile per week logs in bare feet and/or minimalist shoes. I haven't worn a jacked-up-heel shoe (Spira Stinger Elite with Lynco Sport Orthotics) since I ran The Great Turtle Half Marathon in October on Mackinac Island. After that race, my knees were totally messed up for weeks. Yes, I blame the shoes. Now, I train only barefoot, in Terra Plana EVO II's or in my Vibrams.<br /><br />I got a new treadmill for Christmas. It's great to be able to go for a run any time of the day without having to wait for a babysitter. Unfortunately, the treadmill feels like twice the effort of running outside. I ran 11 miles down the frozen Kawkawlin river in sub-zero temperatures last Sunday. Yesterday, I ran 7 miles on the treadmill and it was much more difficult. In fact, my pace was slower than my river run. I don't get it. Why it running on a smooth, flat surface so much harder? I don't come anywhere near my average outside running pace (6.8 - 7.2 mph) when I'm on the 'mill. I'm lucky to maintain 6.2 mph. I hope it is somehow improving my running. I guess it can't hurt.<br /><br />I've also been doing Peak 8 workouts twice a week on the stationary bike. This involves going at level 5 for 1:30 and then level 10 for 0:30 and repeating (at least) 8 times in 20 minutes at maximum effort. I usually get 9 "peaks" in during my 20 minute session. It is supposed to be a "sprinter's workout" and help improve strength and speed while increasing natural HGH in the body. So far, I haven't noticed any improvements, but once again, I guess it can't hurt.<br /><br />I use my rebounder at least twice a week for a minimum of a 20 minute session each time. I think it helps with balance and stability. It really seems to loosen up and strengthen my knees and ankles. I used it to help me train while recovering from my previous knee and ankle injuries. It really helps take impact stress off the joints while still being able to move in a running form. I don't feel like I'm burning any significant amount of calories through rebounding. It seems too easy, but I think there are other benefits. <br /><br />When I'm not running, spinning or rebounding, I have recently gotten back into using the Wii Fit. I do Yoga and Strength Training mostly. I try to workout for at least 30 minutes once or twice a week. My upper body needs the work. I used to be able to do 30 push-ups and now I'm lucky to be able to do 5. I need to maintain my upper body and core strength and this is a great way to get in a full body workout. <br /><br />I have am ambitious year planned, including running my first full marathon on May 28, 2011. Here is my anticipated race schedule for 2011:<br /><br />01-15-11 BARC Freeze Your Fanny 5K Run, Bay City, MI<br />01-29-11 Save Tobico Towers Thermal 5K Run, Bay City, MI<br />02-15-11 Winterläufe 8K Run, Frankenmuth, MI<br />02-19-11 BARC Spirit of Winter 5K Run, Bay City, MI<br />03-20-11 BARC/Al Kayner St. Patrick's Day 8K Run, Bay City, MI<br />04-10-11 Go the Extra Mile for Covenant Kids Half Marathon, Saginaw, MI *<br />04-16-11 Bangor Township Schools Scholarship 5K Run, Bay City, MI<br />04-23-11 Eagle by the Bay 5K Trail Run, Essexville, MI<br />05-07-11 Great Lakes Bay Region Half Marathon, Mt. Pleasant, MI *<br />05-28-11 Bayshore Marathon, Traverse City, MI<br />06-04-11 Dow Run/Walk 10K Run, Midland, MI<br />06-18-11 Cheesetown Races, 2 Mile & 5 Mile Run, Pinconning, MI<br />07-07-11 Auburn Corn Stalk 5K Run, Auburn, MI<br />07-30-11 Warrior Dash, Mt. Morris, MI<br />08-13-11 Tahqua Trail Run 25K, Paradise, MI<br />08-27-11 Crim Festival of Races 10 Mile Run, Flint, MI<br /><br />Well, that's a start. I guess I'd better get back to training now. That, and I need to lose about 10 pounds... I've got my work cut out for me.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><p></p><p align='center'><i>Originally posted at "<b><a href='http://runningagainstthegrain.blogspot.com' target='_blank'>Running

Coli) to produce a desired effect such as disease resistance, inherent pesticide properties and/or resistance to herbicides.<span style=""> </span>On the surface, it seems like a great idea.<span style=""> </span>(Potentially) heartier plants, greater yields, and less cost to farmers – what’s not to love?<span style=""> </span>After all, what could go wrong when we attempt to improve upon Mother Nature using our high tech knowledge?<span style=""> </span>Does anyone remember what happened when biologist Warwick E. Kerr attempted to interbreed honey bees from Europe and southern Africa in order to create a bee which produced more honey?</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">I believe that most people are oblivious to what GMO really means and have not been given fully informed consent regarding the products they are consuming.<span style=""> </span>I highly recommend that everyone fully educate themselves to the inherent dangers of GMO foods.<span style=""> </span>The movie <i style="">Food, Inc.</i> is a great place to start.<span style=""> </span>I think every person in American should watch it at least once.<span style=""> </span>For more in-depth information, I suggest reading Jeffrey Smith’s books, <i style="">Seeds of Deception</i> and <i style="">Genetic Roulette</i>.<span style=""> </span>Once people have become truly educated, informed consumers, they can decide for themselves whether or not to consume genetically-altered products.<span style=""> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">So, what is the problem with GMO foods?<span style=""> </span>First of all, they have not been studied long-term in human beings.<span style=""> </span>GMO foods were first introduced in the early 1990’s.<span style=""> </span>In animal studies, the consumption of GMO foods has been shown to cause sterility in subsequent generations of hamsters, rats, and mice.<span style=""> </span>Farmers have observed that animals fed GM corn have exhibited signs of impaired fertility, sterility, bleeding stomachs, potentially precancerous cell growth, damaged organs and immune systems, kidney inflammation, problems with blood and liver cells, and unexplained deaths. <span style=""> </span>In its official statement on genetically modified foods, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine states that “GM foods pose a serious health risk in the areas of toxicology, allergy and immune function, reproductive health, and metabolic, physiologic and genetic health and are without benefit…”<span style=""> </span>Do we want to be the guinea pigs for this latest technology?<span style=""> </span>We are not only putting ourselves at risk when consuming these dangerous food products, but there is an even more significant risk for our children and all future generations. There have been no safety studies conducted that prove GM foods are safe. <span style=""> </span>If a plant has been genetically altered to produce a pesticide which explodes the stomach of the insect who eats its leaves, do you really think it’s safe or prudent to eat such a plant?</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Secondly, the supposed benefits of GMO simply do not exist.<span style=""> </span>Yields have actually decreased in GMO soy crops by 20 percent compared to non-GMO crops, and in India they have documented 100 percent failures their GM cotton.<span style=""> </span>What should benefit farmers by decreasing their costs to raise crops actually costs more because they are unable to re-use their seeds and must purchase new seed each season.<span style=""> </span>The seeds are actually now created to be sterile which threatens all future crops when they intermix with non-GMO crops.<span style=""> </span>USDA data showed that GM crops increased pesticide use by 50 million pounds from 1996 to 2003 in the United States.<span style=""> </span>Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide is lethal to frogs and toxic to human placental and embryonic cells. It is used on more than 80 percent of all GM crops planted in the world.<span style=""> </span>The grandiose aspirations of GMO foods to end world hunger have obvious not been fulfilled either.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">In the United States today, over 80% of processed food products on the market today contain GMO foods.<span style=""> </span>Most of the corn, cotton, canola and soy produced in this country are genetically modified.<span style=""> </span>Other GMO crops include alfalfa, Hawaiian papaya, tomatoes, canola, sugar cane, sugar beets and zucchini squash.<span style=""> </span>Animals, too, have become the latest in GMO products.<span style=""> </span>There is no labeling required to identify GMO foods, despite the attempts of organizations like The Center for Food Safety to get this implemented.<span style=""> </span>It is all about money.<span style=""> </span>It usually is.<span style=""> </span>The big companies behind GMO do not want people to be aware of what genetic modification really means and which foods contain these substances because they know that most informed consumers, if they had a choice, would opt for non-GMO over GMO foods.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">How can we recognize and avoid GMO foods?<span style=""> </span>Products that contain maltodextrin, soy lecithin, and high fructose corn syrup are most likely genetically modified.<span style=""> </span>Other products include: milk that contains rbGH, aspartame (NutraSweet), and rennet (containing genetically modified enzymes) used to make hard cheeses.<span style=""> </span>Look at the stickers on the produce you purchase.

Still tweaking the diet thing trying to not gain too much weight. Intermittent juice feasting is the solution for now. Just finished off a bag of goji berries. Probably should have some juice now. :)<br /><br />I was supposed to do my first marathon on September 4th on Beaver Island. I ended up doing the half marathon instead because of having to take about 6 weeks off due to ankle injuries. I felt good and ran well. My goal was somewhere between 1:45 and 2:00. I finished in 1:50. I was happy. I got first place in my age group. It's amazing how far you can go on 2 cups of coffee, a banana and a mango! <br /><br />I discovered that too much training in my Vibrams and/or barefoot was exacerbating the ankle injury (peroneal tendonitis). But I know that I get a much better workout when I run minimalistically. I don't want to sacrifice all the hard work I've done building up my calf and foot muscles by wearing standard running shoes. But I know that if I train exclusively in minimalist footwear, I'll just keep getting injured again and again. Solution? Train part time in Vibrams and part time in running shoes. It seems to be working. <br /><br />I have never been able to run as fast barefoot as I can in running shoes. I think that is why barefoot runners are not winning races. It is nearly impossible to compete with shod opponents. Running shoes are like a "cheat." They offer greater protection from the elements and make it easier to run because you are using fewer muscles. I do believe that barefoot running is more natural and allows one to have a better running form which will prevent most common running injuries. Running shoes mask poor running form and often result in injuries due to this. I realize that I need to maintain my barefoot running strength and form, but if I want to win races, I will need to compete on an even playing field--by wearing running shoes. This way I am getting the best of both worlds. And it seems to be working for me right now. I have so far been able to achieve a balance of barefoot running strength, form and skill with shod-foot running speed. I feel like I am finally back where I started (speed-wise) when I started barefoot running. I also realize the benefits of barefoot running. I know that it is the best way to run, albeit not the fastest. So, if I want to have a fighting chance at winning a race once in a while, I need to succumb to wearing shoes. And I guess that's alright with me. I'm not going to sacrifice my performance over a principle.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><p></p><p align='center'><i>Originally posted at "<b><a href='http://runningagainstthegrain.blogspot.com' target='_blank'>Running Against the Grain</a></b>"</i></p></div>~*~ Jennifer ~*~http://www.blogger.com/profile/01927839057749030448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384754485952547296.post-69546850479923065362010-08-08T13:22:00.002-04:002010-08-08T13:55:34.092-04:00FastEnough is enough. I have been thoroughly enjoying the fruits of the summer. Literally. Cherries, peaches, plums, pears, pineapple, coconuts, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and grapes. I have started running more again, but am currently injured again. I keep active and eat when I am hungry, almost exclusively choosing raw foods, but apparently, I'm eating more than I am expending. The scale has been climbing gradually since last summer and I've now gained about 10 pounds since this time last year. Not cool.<br /><br />It's not even that number on the scale that bothers me so much. I know that water weight and muscle mass can affect weight. It's when I can't fit into most of my clothes that I know it's not just some insensible variable contributing to my increased BMI. It's fat. I've gained weight. Yes, I still look good (not great). I'm not hideous. My husband still thinks I'm hot. But all those things don't matter because I am not happy with the way I look or feel and I intend to do something about it. Because let's face it, if I'm not happy with myself, no one else's opinion is going to change that.<br /><br />Thursday, August 5: Didn't eat dinner, was not feeling well. Nausea, headache, fatigue. Only had watermelon. Felt a little better at bedtime, had some homemade dehydrated BBQ chips and a dark beer.<br /><br />Friday, August 6: Morning weight at an all-time high since I've been a runner, 132. Time to panic. Immediately starting that juice feast I've been meaning to initiate for some time now. Did not eat any food all day. Had 3 cups of coffee with stevia during the day and 1 can of coconut water for dinner.<br /><br />Saturday, August 7: Had one cup of coffee with stevia and 1 can of Mona Vie energy drink before running in a 5K race with an injured ankle (feels like dual peroneal tendonitis of the right foot). Didn't expect to be able to run at all, but finished the race in 25:35. Crappy time for the healthy me. Acceptable for the overweight and impaired me. Had 32 ounces of spinach, strawberry and pineapple juice for lunch. Consumed 2 cups of coffee mid-afternoon. For dinner, I had a can of coconut juice. At bedtime, enjoyed about 4 ounces of Barefoot Moscato.<br /><br />Sunday, August 8: 2 cups of coffee with stevia. Lunchtime: 1 large bowl of "Gourmet Energy Soup" (golden delicious apple, avocado, dulse leaves, pine nuts and water blended together). Weight this morning was 127.6 without clothes. I'm sure it's over 128 now after eating the soup. You'd think after 3 days with virtually nothing to eat, the pounds would be melting off. No. I tried to put on a pair of capri pants this morning and they were too uncomfortably tight to get over my hips and thighs. I still have a ways to go...<br /><br />122 would be acceptable. 120 would be comfortable. 118 would be awesomeness. But even more important than the scale are the numbers on the tape measure. I don't even want to know what they are right now. But I'd like to see my waist at 25-26 and my hips at 35-36. That is where I am most comfortable and happy. That is where I feel like my outside reflects my inside.<br /><br />I am going to continue my fast, refraining from solid food and ingesting some blended foods and lots of juice along with other beverages. I know that the alcohol and caffeine are not the most healthy things I could be ingesting. But I don't think they are going to significantly contribute to weight gain at this point. Right now it's all about cleaning house. Getting rid of extra weight, toxins, all the junk that's literally weighing me down. I want to have a healthy body, a healthy self-image and once and for all heal from this nagging ankle injury that's keeping me from running. I am giving up solid food for a time. I am relinquishing something I enjoy: eating. I am doing so because I know that in order to make gains, sometimes one has to let go of something. I want to fast right now so that I can be restored and renewed. I envision my slightly smaller healthy body and my athleticism returning. I look forward to regaining my strength and stamina. By fasting, I will become fast. Again.<br /><br />And that will make me very happy. :)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><p></p><p align='center'><i>Originally posted at "<b><a href='http://runningagainstthegrain.blogspot.com' target='_blank'>Running Against the Grain</a></b>"</i></p></div>~*~ Jennifer ~*~http://www.blogger.com/profile/01927839057749030448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384754485952547296.post-69604473528627212382010-06-17T08:31:00.007-04:002010-06-18T09:48:58.193-04:00The Agony of the FeetIt's been 12 days now since I've been able to run. This is the longest I've gone without running in about 3 years. Not being able to run is intensely frustrating and at times, outright depressing. There is a big race coming up in 2 days that I know I will not be able to participate in, save for a miracle. It could happen. But I'm not holding my breath.<br /><br />On June 5th, during a <a href="http://dowrunwalk.mymcc.org/" target="_blank">10K run-of-the-mill road race</a>, I started experiencing some mild pain in my right Achilles tendon area. By the end of the race, it became excruciating. I limp-ran toward the finish line with all the strength I had. I came home, took some ibuprofen, lay down, iced and elevated my foot. I stayed in bed the entire afternoon and did the same the following day. I thought I pulled a muscle or strained a tendon and that in 2 or 3 days I would be able to run again. I was wrong.<br /><br />After 11 days with no real progress and fearing a stress fracture or tear, I went to see a highly-recommended podiatrist who specializes in sports injuries and who is a runner himself. I found myself waiting for about an hour and a half in the waiting room before finally being ushered into an exam room where I was asked a few questions about my injury, had a couple of foot x-rays taken and my blood pressure assessed. After about another 15 minutes, the doctor came in and asked what shoes I was wearing when I got my injury and how far I ran each week. He did a very brief exam of my feet, doing nothing to elicit the pain or even really examining the sore spot. He then went on to say that I have high arches and tight muscles and need to stretch more and wear a supportive shoe with orthotics. He told me I should get the Spira Stinger shoe and went on about people who wear them and how they win races and blah, blah, blah. I asked him about how I should treat my injury. He said, "You don't have an injury. It's just from overuse. There's no swelling." (When in fact, it was/is clearly swollen in the injured area.) I asked, "How should I treat it? Will I hurt it if I continue to walk on it?" He said to just do some ice and NSAID's and that I wouldn't really bother it by walking on it. I was given no real treatment plan, no pain relieving measures, no timeline as to when I could run again. Just a "prescription" for orthothic inserts and $100 running shoes that have springs in the soles.<br /><br />I went home resigned to the fact that I would have to give up the idea of barefoot/minimalist running and that racing with springs on my feet just might be fun. But, after really pondering the whole visit, I realized that my foot was still just as sore as before I went in, clearly injured, and that this boob did nothing to diagnose or treat my problem. I felt like I had been to see a shoe salesman, not a healer. I am not one to readily go see a doctor. I have to be <em>really</em> sick, sore or near death before I will make an appointment. For me, allopathic medicine is a last resort. So, for me to take the initiative to go to him was a huge deal. The more I thought about the whole experience, the angrier I became.<br /><br />I went to the <a href="http://www.runnersworld.com/community/forums/runner-communities/barefoot-running/podiatrist-says-should-give-up-barefoot-running" target="_blank">Runner's World "Barefoot Running" message board</a> and posted a message to the forum about my experience to see if anyone else had similar stories or advice. Sure enough, they agreed that my injury was most likely related to overuse (running too much too soon as a minimalist/barefoot runner) and that the podiatrist sounded like a quack. One person stated that they had never heard of a podiatrist who <em>didn't</em> recommend support shoes and orthotics. Here I went, trusting that this "professional" would be able to pinpoint and alleviate my problem and perhaps even encourage my pursuit of barefoot running. Unfortunately, I left the office feeling that I had just wasted a great deal of my time and money and being no closer to a solution than I was the day before. I did, however, learn a valuable lesson: to never to go this doctor again.<br /><br />From my own research and analysis, I believe what I have is peroneal tendonitis. It is treated with rest, hot/cold therapy and NSAID's. All of which I am already doing. Now, the hardest part of the treatment: TIME. <br /><br />I thought briefly about giving up my dreams of being a barefoot runner. About how I have engraved on my <a href="http://www.roadid.com/?referrer=5182" target="_blank">Road ID Ankle Bracelet</a>, "RAW VEGAN BAREFOOT" and how it wouldn't be true any longer if I had to wear shoes. I thought about all the hard work and miles I've put into strengthening my calves and foot muscles already. I thought about the <a href="http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/products/products_bikila_f.cfm" target="_blank">Vibram Bikilas</a> I pre-ordered and how I'd have to cancel that order and instead order a pair of <a href="http://www.spirafootwear.com/products_running_womens_StingerSRR103.php" target="_blank">Spira Stingers</a>. I thought about not being able to follow through on my goal of running at least one race this summer sans shoes. I then thought about how much I love being barefoot and this is who I am and who I want to be. About how this "expert's" opinions ran contrary to all I've read and researched. Yes, this guy might know a lot about feet, but he knows <em>nothing</em> about <em>me</em>.<br /><br />I feel like everything I do is a sort of science experiment, from what I eat to what I wear to how I run. I am always trying something new and different based on what I believe to be the optimal path. Sometimes the experiments succeed, sometimes they fail. I guess that's why they are called experiments. I have to find what works for me and stick with it. I also have to be true to myself and continually strive for what I believe is best, and right now that means I am a raw vegan barefoot runner girl. At least for now.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><p></p><p align='center'><i>Originally posted at "<b><a href='http://runningagainstthegrain.blogspot.com' target='_blank'>Running Against the Grain</a></b>"</i></p></div>~*~ Jennifer ~*~http://www.blogger.com/profile/01927839057749030448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384754485952547296.post-15040024311992335282010-05-02T12:17:00.005-04:002010-05-02T22:05:46.284-04:00Sore-ing to New Heights<div align="justify"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_e6HpM8O1PV0/S938QHtFJ2I/AAAAAAAAAEM/8T89HV2u8Wg/s1600/VibramKSO.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466802876573886306" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_e6HpM8O1PV0/S938QHtFJ2I/AAAAAAAAAEM/8T89HV2u8Wg/s320/VibramKSO.jpg" /></a>I finally got them. My brand new Vibram KSO's. I had been waiting for no less than 3 months to obtain the Holy Grail of minimalist running shoes. I was sitting on the bench by the front door just having laced up my right shoe, getting ready to go for my mid-week mid-tempo run when the doorbell rang. It was my Vibrams. Actually, it was the UPS man delivering my new Vibrams. So, naturally, I took off my Asics and immediately donned my KSO's. I was so quick to get out the door and try them out that I forgot my chewing gum (something that is a prerequisite for my runs as my mouth and throat get so dry otherwise). I guess I would just have to tough out having a dry mouth. It was only a 5 mile run, I would probably be alright.<br /><br />My feet felt light and quick. I did notice that when I happened to step on a large piece of gravel, I did feel it--something that didn't happen with my regular running shoes. I was travelling at a good quick pace; even faster than my goal pace. This was very cool. But, by the time I hit mile four, I could feel the familiar sting of blisters forming on my inner upper foot just below my big toe. Now every step was painful, but I couldn't decrease my pace. I would just run through the pain and deal with it when I got home. I couldn't understand why I would be getting blisters in my Vibrams. From all the dozens of reviews I read about these shoes, blisters were not mentioned! </div><br /><div align="justify">I had a 5K race in two days. I thought that would be good enough to give my feet a rest and resolve the blisters. I decided that I would probably just wear my regular racing shoes for the race since I didn't want to make the blisters even more angry. By the evening after my maiden KSO run, my calves were starting to ache. It felt like I just did a major workout at the gym isolating my gastrocnemius muscles. I hoped that two days would heal that too.</div><br /><div align="justify">Well, by Saturday morning, the blisters were pretty much gone, but I could still barely walk without pain. So, with the help of some naproxen sodium I ingested soon after arising and some Bio-Freeze massaged into my sore legs just minutes before the race, I decided to race in my Vibrams. I wasn't planning on winning the race, just getting through it. This was a training exercise if anything. Well, there were only about 55 participants and about 20 of those were walkers, so I didn't have a lot of competition. I ran as hard as I could. Almost to that point where I feel like I'm going to puke and then back off a little because that would be just too humiliating. My initial paces were great, but by the time I got to 3K, I was ready to be done. I was tired. I guess I went out too fast. Well, I pushed myself to the end. I didn't set any PR's that day. I finished in 23:29. But the good news is that I was the overall female winner! :-) Not my best time, but I guess I got rewarded for my effort.</div><br /><div align="justify">Today is Sunday. My calves didn't get any less sore after pulling an all-out effort running basically barefoot on Saturday. And, as fate would have it, today is the "Long Run" day on my training calendar. I didn't think I should be heroic and don the minimalist shoes today. After all, I was still dealing with trying to walk without pain. So, I put on my good ole Asics Nimbus 11's and headed out to the trails for a 13.1 mile (21K) jaunt -- slow and easy. Every step was torture. All I could concentrate on was the pain I felt with each stride. Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Even my iPod wasn't able to distract me from the discomfort. I didn't think there was any way I would survive 13 miles today. But, I would push myself as far as I could. This wasn't about speed, but endurance.</div><br /><div align="justify">By the time I was about 5 miles into it, the calf pain seemed to subside. Either that, or some endorphins kicked in and dulled the pain. But it was still a laborious run. I wasn't going nearly as fast as my normal "slow" pace, but disappointingly much slower. It was humid and I was sticky, sweaty, and hot. I was tired. But I kept on going. I ran to Tobico Marsh and did the big loop twice and the small loop around the marsh once. I saw a black squirrel, a grey squirrel, several "normal" squirrels, almost got tripped by a scampering chipmunk and also met up with three fawns who pranced across the trail and then stopped about twenty feet away to watch me pass. I waved at them and (after I looked around to make sure no one was behind me) said, "Hi guys!" After a grueling nearly two hour run, I made it home and did and extra 0.2 km to boot.</div><br /><div align="justify">Once safely inside the door, I could now fully experience and express my exhaustion and agony. I peeled off my shoes and socks only to reveal blisters on my blisters. My clothes were soaked and my face was covered with the salty residue I get when I know I put in a good workout. I downed a cold coconut water (this was the same coconut water I reminded myself was waiting for me if I hurried home and finished my run--my reward). Then, I headed to the shower, got dressed, uploaded my workout from my Garmin watch while sipping some freshly made apple juice and then crashed on the bed for an impromptu hour long nap. When I got up, my legs were even more sore and I could hardly move them, let alone actually walk. Ouch. I hobbled around for a while, played some games on the computer as a diversion from the soreness and later when I got up, it wasn't as bad as before. It's almost tolerable now. Nearly back to the level of moderate discomfort I had before I decided to add insult to injury with my half-marathon sized workout.</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">Tomorrow I have a day off of running. It's my cross-training day. Hopefully these legs will be able to pedal the stationary bike. I guess I'll find out. The next day, I get to do intervals. Oh, joy. I might even attempt them barefoot if I'm feeling bold enough. I hope my legs will have recovered a bit more by then. I know that this pain is just a sign that I'm using my muscles in a whole new way that theoretically should make me a stronger and better runner. I have another race next Saturday. I will be wearing my Vibrams. That is, if I am able to run at all. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><p></p><p align='center'><i>Originally posted at "<b><a href='http://runningagainstthegrain.blogspot.com' target='_blank'>Running Against the Grain</a></b>"</i></p></div>~*~ Jennifer ~*~http://www.blogger.com/profile/01927839057749030448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384754485952547296.post-16412375094313171922010-04-06T16:37:00.003-04:002010-04-06T16:59:02.700-04:00Time to Get SeriousOkay Spring is officially here. We had some nice mid-70's days last week. Crazy for being barely April. Today is rainy and mid-50's but I'm not complaining. I started doing some barefoot walking (outside on the road). I'm still too chicken to do any <em>real</em> running. Mostly because I am only running 3 days a week now with my FIRST program and those runs are pretty intense. Too much for a barefoot noob. I would like to do some easy 1-2 milers on my off days, but finding the time to squeeze in an extra workout is not easy.<br /><br />I have races scheduled pretty much through December. It is exciting and daunting. I have a 5K this Saturday and next weekend a 5K and a 6K. Three out of four weekends, I will do doing a 5K and an occasional 10K. I might do a half-marathon in late June, but I have to convince my husband to let me run during our family vacation (<a href="http://www.bigticketfestival.com/" target="_blank">Big Ticket Festival</a>). It shouldn't take more than a couple hours, right? He will probably still be sleeping in...won't even know I'm gone. :) In July is the Frankenmuth <a href="http://www.volkslaufe.org/" target="_blank">Volksläufe</a> 20K, basically another half-marathon. And here's the big one: my first marathon (still just a potential at this point)-- the <a href="http://www.goodboyevents.com/BeaverIsland.shtml" target="_blank">Beaver Island Marathon</a>. This race looks AMAZING. It is on a remote island off of Lake Michigan, has a relatively small number of participants and is a Boston qualifying race! How cool is that? So, I think that when I finish my 18-week half-marathon training program (which should be complete my mid-June) I will get started on the marathon training program. :)<br /><br />I completed a 7 day total juice feast last week. It was easier than I thought and I felt great. Now that I am back to solid foods, I feel tired. I will probably go back on mostly juice for a while. I had to break my fast because my husband flew home for a couple of days during Easter weekend and demanded that we go out to dinner. I had a "big salad." That's about as extravagant as I get when we go out to eat. I am a cheap date, but I make it for it when I go grocery shopping.<br /><br />Now I am just waiting for my sons to get home from track practice so I can go for my interval run. I hate my interval runs, but will feel much better when it's done. I'm hoping all this hard work pays off and I can set some PR's this summer. Well, time to get back to work. There is no rest for the dedicated.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><p></p><p align='center'><i>Originally posted at "<b><a href='http://runningagainstthegrain.blogspot.com' target='_blank'>Running Against the Grain</a></b>"</i></p></div>~*~ Jennifer ~*~http://www.blogger.com/profile/01927839057749030448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384754485952547296.post-26534585047662933082010-03-07T13:29:00.006-05:002010-03-07T18:16:18.540-05:00A New LeafSpring is coming. I know it is. I am watching the water dripping down from the deck above as the snow melts through the cracks. The sun is warmer, brighter and more enduring. 40 degrees seems "warm." Spring is a time for new resolutions, growth, and change. <br /><br />I am looking forward to continuing with my <a href="http://www.furman.edu/first/" target+"_blank">F.I.R.S.T. "Run Less Run Faster"</a> 18-week half-marathon training program. I am just into week 3. I ran 18 km yesterday. It was a beautiful sunny, clear day with temperatures topping out at a balmy 47 degrees. I should be a faster, more efficient runner by mid-June. We'll see.<br /><br />I also look with great anticipation to receiving my "transitional" running shoes--the <a href="http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/products/products_KSO_f.cfm" target="_blank">Vibram KSO's</a> that I ordered in January. Due to high demand, they have been on backorder and are scheduled to be sent mid-March. I can't wait to start running barefoot, although I have to say that I'm not looking forward to any attention it might draw to me. I'm not doing it to stand out, be different or rebel against Nike. I just think it's a very desirable, more natural way to run. And I've read that it can allow a person to run 5% faster than if they were wearing running shoes.<br /><br />Another welcome change will be the introduction of a new <a href="http://www.excaliburdehydrator.com/about.htm" target="_blank">Excalibur</a> top-of-the-line food dehydrator and a <a href="http://www.slowjuicer.com/hurom-slow-juicer.html" target="_blank">Hurom juicer</a> that I purchased with money I received from doing some web programming. My Nesco has been very good, but waiting 4 days for Kale chips, dehydrated broccoli and spirulina-goji berry cookies is just too long! I look forward to making a lot more dehydrated goodies like corn chips, flax crackers and homemade fruit roll-ups on a regular basis. And as for the new juicer, I am preparing to go on a major "<a href="http://store.rawreform.com/product_info.php?products_id=1001316" target="blank">Juice Feast</a>" lasting at least a week, preferably a month or longer. I'm not sure how well that will compliment my athletic training program.<br /><br />I have been adding all the upcoming events to my calendar. It's going to get very busy. We have a big Kindergarten music program and dance recital coming up. Track season officially gets underway on March 15th and I will have at least one of my two teenagers participating in that. Hopefully two. Plus, lots of races coming up, from 5K's to 10K's to my first 20K on July 3! <br /><br />I started my garden today. I planted most of my vegetable seeds in starter pots. I planted kale, spinach, lettuce, bell peppers, pear tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, Swiss chard, basil, cilantro, dill, cauliflower, broccoli, summer squash, and asparagus. I also planted some echinacea. I just need to get some cucumber, Roma tomato and zucchini seeds. I wanted to get my lupine flowers started, but I can't find where I put the seeds I purchased last fall. :( <br /><br />I am glad the snow and ice are melting. I relish the sun's warm rays filtering in the many windows of our home. I look forward to hearing and seeing the river flowing again (and an end to the snowmobiles, motorcycles and four-wheelers zooming by on the ice at all hours of the day and night). I look forward to gardening, running, eating healthier and all the other many blessings that the nicer weather brings with it. April 4th is Easter Sunday, another symbol of life and hope. Spring is so full of promise and potential. I hope everyone takes this time to re-evaluate, renew, and restore; that we all make an effort to turn over a new leaf.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><p></p><p align='center'><i>Originally posted at "<b><a href='http://runningagainstthegrain.blogspot.com' target='_blank'>Running Against the Grain</a></b>"</i></p></div>~*~ Jennifer ~*~http://www.blogger.com/profile/01927839057749030448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384754485952547296.post-90878450610064918292010-01-05T10:48:00.005-05:002010-01-05T16:40:39.749-05:00Baring My Sole<em>I love being barefoot</em>. I only wear socks if the temperature dips below 25 degrees or so, but I can <em>never</em> wear socks to bed. I spend most of the summer months sans shoes. I keep a spare pair of Birkenstocks tucked in the pocket behind my driver seat in case I need to go into a store or do something that require shoes, but my preference is for perpetually naked feet.<br /><br />I have envied runners such as <a href="http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-243-297--13308-0,00.html" target="_blank">Zola Budd </a>and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abebe_Bikila" target="_blank">Abebe Bikila </a>who have chosen to run barefoot, and in doing so, have excelled at their sport. I look at the litter-strewn gravelly shoulders of the roads and the broken-stick-and-tree-root-laden trails that I run along and think that barefoot running would not work for me. So, I have tried several different types of running shoes that would provide me with enough room to wiggle my toes (a wide toe box) and enough padding to cushion my underpronating, high-arched feet. After a lot of trial and error (along with several blisters, calluses, black toenails and sore knees) I settled on the<a href="http://www.asicsamerica.com/products/product.aspx?PRODUCT_ID=240012865&TITLE_CATEGORY_ID=250001550&PARENT_CATEGORY_ID=250001547" target="_blank"> Asics Nimbus 11's</a>. I can't help but wonder, though, what it would feel like to run free--unencumbered by shoes.<br /><br />I have made a New Year's Resolution for 2010. This year I will run barefoot! I am awaiting the restock of the <a href="http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/products/products_KSO_f.cfm" target="_blank">Vibram FiveFingers KSO's</a>. These will be my "training" shoes and my inclement weather foot cover. But I WILL run barefoot in AT LEAST one road race.<br /><br />Barefoot running seems to be getting a lot of press these days. In this past Sunday's newspaper insert, Parade Magazine, there was an article entitled <a href="http://www.parade.com/health/2010/01/03-barefoot-running.html" target="_blank">"Is It Better To Be Barefoot?" </a>which spoke about the benefits of running barefoot. I also recently read and article in Runner's World magazine, <a href="http://www.runnersworld.com/article/1,7124,s6-240-319--6728-0,00.html" target="_blank">"Should You Be Running Barefoot?"</a> Runner's World also has a <a href="http://www.runnersworld.com/community/forums/runner-communities/barefoot-running" target="_blank">Barefoot Running Forum</a> on their website where like-minded minimalists can get together to share their insights and experiences. The evidence seems pretty overwhelming that feet were designed to perform their best without shoes. It makes perfect sense to me and I am eager to test out the theory, but not right now when it's 20 degrees and the roads are covered with snow and ice. I am looking forward to Spring and the availability of the Vibram's.<br /><br />I have to wonder, though, will it put more strain on knees? Will my feet ache from the constant contact with rocky asphalt? Will I be able to improve my speed and form? So many questions and only one way to get answers: wait and see. Only 75 more days until the "official" start of Spring, although I hope to start my barefoot journey well before then. I will keep you posted.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><p></p><p align='center'><i>Originally posted at "<b><a href='http://runningagainstthegrain.blogspot.com' target='_blank'>Running Against the Grain</a></b>"</i></p></div>~*~ Jennifer ~*~http://www.blogger.com/profile/01927839057749030448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384754485952547296.post-29567931737133078492009-11-15T12:24:00.002-05:002009-11-15T13:41:26.333-05:00InterventionI have to say, I find it absolutely amazing how non-vegan, non-runner, non-like-me people can criticize my healthy lifestyle. Inversely, it would be considered entirely inappropriate for me to openly criticize another person for having diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, obesity and/or an overly-<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">sedentary</span> lifestyle filled with poor nutritional choices. It is socially unacceptable to tell someone they are "too fat." So why would someone consider it <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">acceptable</span> to say to another person: "You are too thin!" or "You are too obsessed with healthy eating." I have been victim to these types of "interventions" and this is my response.<br /><br />As my life has evolved and I have become more and more enlightened through my incessant research and education, I have taken my knowledge and practically applied it to the way I live my life. I have taken previously-ingrained bad habits and replaced them with good and healthy habits. For example, I used to reward myself with a bag of Cheddar Cheese Combos and a Sam Adams Cherry Wheat Beer. Now, I would not put that garbage into my body. (Well, I might have some beer once in a GREAT while...but definitely NOT the Combos.) Now, my idea of rewarding myself is giving my body something ultra healthy like a spirulina-gojiberry cookie, some yummy kale chips, or a green smoothie. And I would be indulging in this sort of "reward" not because it was Friday or because the kids were at the grandparents. The reward would be a compensation for successfully completing a 10 mile run in less than 90 minutes. My mind has changed because I have discovered what is best for me. My body has changed because I do what is best for me. I have taken my beliefs and made them into my habits. Since when is being "too healthy" a bad thing? Or more realistically, one must ask the question, "Is it possible to be too healthy?"<br /><br />My happily overweight brother-in-law has an expression he likes to use regularly in regard to healthy living: "You don't live longer. It just feels like it." For him, eating nothing but nuts and berries would be torture. So, to imagine being forced into a raw vegan lifestyle, he imagines an ensuing misery. In reality, I have no desire to live to be over 100 years old unless it is God's will. Longevity is not my goal. I could get attacked by a wild bear tomorrow and my life would be over, regardless of how healthy my eating and exercise habits are. Rather, my goal is to live the healthiest I can possibly be each and every day of my life. There is nothing worse than to see people with chronic, degenerative, debilitating diseases which rob them of their livelihood and eventually lead to a slow and often painful death. If I have the tools to prevent going down such a path, I am going to use them! If I am ever stricken by such a disease, at least I will know that I have done everything possible to prevent such an occurance and have no regrets about living a lifestyle which contributed to my demise.<br /><br />I have been told by well-meaning family members time and time again that I am "too skinny" and/or "I worry about you." I am at an ideal weight for my height and frame. My BMI is totally within normal limits and I even had a full blood analyis done to verify that my raw vegan lifestyle has not adversely affected my health in any way. I started running two years ago and have placed first in my age group in several races. I have gone from being someone who couldn't run a block without becoming winded to a well-conditioned athlete who is capable of running a half-marathon (13.1 miles) in under two hours. I am proud of myself and of what I have accomplished. It's too bad that my family is too "concerned" about me to share in my joy or offer positive encouragement.<br /><br />As far as being "obsessed" with my healthy lifestyle--if I were truly overemphasizing my running or eating, I wouldn't have time to clean the house, do the laundry, drive the kids to all their activities, read stories to my preschooler, go to concerts and movies, work in the garden, watch t.v. with my husband, read books and magazines, or work on my websites. I cook "regular" food for my family and do not force my raw vegan choices on them, but always leave it as an option (an option which they will sometimes voluntarily choose). I believe that I have found a nice balance and have been successful in prioritizing my responsibilities to both myself and my family. It seems that the only people criticizing me are those who are "on the outside." Maybe these people are secretly jealous because they have been unsuccessful in following a more health-conscious protocol in their own lives. Maybe they wish they could fit into size 2 jeans. I don't know what their "deal" is, but I've had more than enough of it!<br /><br />I am happy with my body and my diet. My husband loves the way I look. My kids aren't complaining about me being too busy with running or food preparation to care for them. We are all quite content. Why can't everyone else be?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><p></p><p align='center'><i>Originally posted at "<b><a href='http://runningagainstthegrain.blogspot.com' target='_blank'>Running Against the Grain</a></b>"</i></p></div>~*~ Jennifer ~*~http://www.blogger.com/profile/01927839057749030448noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384754485952547296.post-27075754649567763782009-07-19T09:12:00.009-04:002009-07-19T19:22:04.750-04:00Universal Truth<p><span style="color:#000099;">It may be something you've heard a million times or just once in passing, but it resonates with you on such a deep level that there is no denying its veracity. It's when you pick up a book and continue reading from the table of contents to the index in one sitting--intellectually devouring each word like comfort food for the soul. It is when you are stopped cold in your tracks by a television or radio program that seems to be speaking directly to you--specifically and eerily addressing something you've always suspected but never had confirmation of. It's when you meet a stranger that you feel as if you have known all of your life. It's a connection to something much, much larger than yourself. In fact, it's the awareness of a connection that exists between all of life and a feeling that you are an integral part of that connection--that you belong. It is the belief in a philosophy that perhaps you'd never been exposed to, but somehow you haven't a shadow of a doubt regarding its tenets. It is knowing and believing without requiring proof. It is faith on its purest level. It feels like being home. It is Universal Truth. And once you are enlightened by it, you can never unlearn it, even if you try. It remains a permanent part of who you are.</span></p><p><span style="color:#000099;">For me, Universal Truth came as a continually nagging interest in the "occult." I read every book I could find on spirituality and alternative health. The first time I really remember being able to put my finger its resonating pulse was when I read </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1561706213?ie=UTF8&tag=mimidwife&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1561706213" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000099;">Sylvia Browne's "<em>Adventures of a Psychic</em>."</span></a><span style="color:#000099;"> Then there were </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WZ9ET6?ie=UTF8&tag=mimidwife&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000WZ9ET6" target="'_"><span style="color:#000099;">Neal Donald Walsch's "<em>Conversations with God</em>"</span></a><span style="color:#000099;"> books. There were dozens more as well. However, it was a passion I could not fully express in my Judeo-Christian Western Civilization based lifestyle without facing a conflict-inducing series of misunderstandings that I had no desire to confront. But as many times as I tried to deny the facts with which I had previously been illuminated by, the Truth remained present, merely hidden beneath the bushel basket of societal norms and expectations.<br /><br />Why am I afraid to fully express my inner Truth? What unseen force is holding me back from allow my inner illumination to glow? To matter-of-factly proclaim off-the-wall ideas automatically puts one in a state of alienation and brand them a "freak." While I had no objection to being labelled a "weirdo" as a young dependent teenager, one cannot as easily assimilate the same behavior into adulthood where it's much more conducive to blend into the background and seemingly move through life effortlessly rather than boldly oppose "the system" in an attempt to swim upstream.</span></p><p><span style="color:#000099;">Even though I possess knowledge of many Universal Truths, it is not something I choose to always overtly express. I have learned that sometimes it is better to keep one's opinions and beliefs to oneself externally while consistently maintaining one's internal principles at all times. Once a person has become enlightened by the Truth, they can never fully go back. They have been changed for ever. Yes, they can live in a way that does not resonate with their enlightened knowledge, but it will inevitably create internal conflict. The Truth always remains. The Truth always prevails. When one is fully able to live the Truth, the Truth will set them free.</span></p><p><span style="color:#000099;">Whether it be </span><a href="http://www.spiritualmidwifery.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000099;">spiritual</span></a><span style="color:#000099;">, </span><a href="http://www.therawfoodworld.com/index.php?ref=509&affiliate_banner_id=2" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000099;">dietary</span></a><span style="color:#000099;">, </span><a href="http://www.mercyforanimals.org/VegKit08Web.pdf" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000099;">moral</span></a><span style="color:#000099;">, </span><a href="http://www.runningraw.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000099;">fitness</span></a><span style="color:#000099;">, </span><a href="http://www.birthsong.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000099;">health-related</span></a><span style="color:#000099;">, </span><a href="http://www.beyondreligion.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000099;">intellectual</span></a><span style="color:#000099;">, or </span><a href="http://www.journeysproject.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000099;">emotional</span></a><span style="color:#000099;"> truth, I believe there is ultimately only One Truth.

I have lost extra weight, gained energy and felt healthier than ever. However, deep down I knew that eating unlimited portions of beef jerky, cheddar cheese and pork rinds might not be the most optimal way to achieve the level of health for which I strived.<br /></span><br /></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#3333ff;">Yes, I do believe that eating a strict low-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">carb</span> diet can treat/reverse/prevent diabetes, lower cholesterol, decrease body fat, improve energy levels, decrease/prevent hypertension, and prevent heart/cardiovascular disease. However, I believe there is an even healthier alternative which takes low-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">carb</span> to a whole new level:</span> <em><span style="color:#009900;"><strong>raw food</strong></span></em>.<br /></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="color:#333399;">I've always loved fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds, but some of these foods are high in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">carbs</span> (like most fruits), so I've limited my intake. Ideally, I've sought a diet high in protein, fiber and nutrients whilst still being low in calories, fat and carbohydrates. I naturally gravitate toward foods with a high amount life-force energy: those foods which remain as close to their natural state as possible. I found that many of the characteristics of the raw food diet not only met my dietary guidelines, but also met my ethical and spiritual guidelines as well. Eating "raw" means eating no cooked foods -- cooking foods destroys many beneficial nutrients and decreases a food's nutritional value. Raw food is completely vegan, containing no animal products. That means no dairy, eggs, or meat -- nothing that comes from an animal. While I am not totally against consuming animal products, especially when animals are treated humanely by their caregivers, refraining from eating animal products--especially meat--is a sign of respect and reverence for life. It is a way of taking one's diet to a higher plane--to a spiritual level. I view eating a pure raw diet akin to "<em><span style="color:#cc33cc;">nutritional nirvana</span></em>" -- a state to which I aspire.</span><br /></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#333399;"></span></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="color:#3366ff;">My experience with a raw food diet started when I saw an episode of "<a href="http://www.realitytvrules.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=9186">Wife Swap</a>" where one of the wives was a health nut (<em>literally</em>). She was over the top. <em>That's of course what gets the ratings</em>. Not only was she 100% raw, but spent time "sun gazing" to obtain some form of solar energy through her eyeballs supposedly to suppress her appetite and gain some sort of solar nutrition. I, of course, like most Americans, viewed her behavior as extreme and somewhat bizarre. At one point, I remember the raw <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">foodist</span> becoming physically ill when forced to eat cooked food and meat. I thought that was all part of her mental instability. Along with most other Americans, I laughed at her ludicrous display.</span><br /></div><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="color:#6633ff;">One day a few months ago, as I was perusing through my daily barrage of spam, I noticed a newsletter to which I didn't recall subscribing to. It was called "<a href="http://www.therawfoodworld.com/mailing_list_unsubscribe.php">The Raw Food World Newsletter</a>." I hadn't purchased anything from such a store and certainly didn't voluntarily add my email to this list. I took a quick look at it and it was actually quite interesting. I had no idea why I got this email, but it was fascinating. I went to <a href="http://www.therawfoodworld.com/index.php?ref=509&affiliate_banner_id=2">The Raw Food World</a> website and started to learn more. I ordered some of the products to try. They were awesome and I wanted to learn more. <em>What an amazing stroke of synchronicity!</em></span><br /></div><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="color:#cc66cc;">I have continued to read "<a href="http://www.therawfoodworld.com/mailing_list_unsubscribe.php">The Raw Food World Newsletter</a>" and their <a href="http://mattmonarch.blogspot.com/">daily blog</a>, which features "<a href="http://mattmonarch.blogspot.com/">The Raw Food World TV Show</a>", featuring the vibrant <a href="http://www.rawspirit.org/">Matt Monarch</a> and his glowing fianceé <a href="http://www.rawreform.com/index.php">Angela Stokes</a>. I have visited dozens of raw food websites, purchased tons of raw food products, and have been devouring (<em>not literally</em>) every book I can read about the raw food lifestyle.</span><span style="color:#cc66cc;"> While I have not yet reached the highest level of nutritional nirvana, I am definitely heading in that direction. </span><br /></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#cc66cc;"></span></div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="color:#6666cc;">I now understand that a person who has cleansed their body from all of the impurities inherently present in a Standard Amerian Diet (S.A.D.) cannot consume "regular" food without experiencing the toxic side effects that come with it. I now know that that "Wife Swap" lady was not just being a drama queen when she exhibited signs of illness upon consuming "normal" food. When one commits to a pure, organic, raw lifestyle, one becomes pure, organic and raw. I am believing more and more that "you are what you eat" and subscribe to Hippocrates' philosophy: "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." That is why I believe in, support and seek to become "raw." For me, it just makes sense. It is taking my mind, body, and spirit to the next level.</span></div><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;"></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><p></p><p align='center'><i>Originally posted at "<b><a href='http://runningagainstthegrain.blogspot.com' target='_blank'>Running Against the Grain</a></b>"</i></p></div>~*~ Jennifer ~*~http://www.blogger.com/profile/01927839057749030448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384754485952547296.post-71437879352094582182009-04-11T11:11:00.001-04:002009-04-11T11:11:00.244-04:00Stewardship<div align="center"><span style="color:#000099;"><strong>stew·<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ard</span>·ship</strong> - The conducting, supervising, or managing of something ; especially : the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one's care.<br /></span><br /><em><a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/stewardship"><span style="font-size:78%;">from the Merriam-Webster dictionary</span></a></em></div><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_e6HpM8O1PV0/Sd5LfiEmX5I/AAAAAAAAADs/tW2YfrWN-N8/s1600-h/200px-Earth_day_svg.png"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322774814692630418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 221px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_e6HpM8O1PV0/Sd5LfiEmX5I/AAAAAAAAADs/tW2YfrWN-N8/s400/200px-Earth_day_svg.png" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e6HpM8O1PV0/Sd5LPqNYlKI/AAAAAAAAADk/ntj565rdDGA/s1600-h/200px-Earth_day_svg.png"></a><br /><br /><div align="justify">This month, we celebrate <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Day">Earth Day</a> (April 22<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">nd</span>).

My goal a.) was to finish and b.) to try and finish in 45 minutes or less. Success on both points! My time was 42:24. Now my goal is to get my 8:33 mile closer to a 7:30 mile. I missed getting my name in the newspaper by 10 seconds! There were over 3600 (3422 finishers) entrants in the entire race (5K run/walk and 8K run). I placed 11th in my age group (out of 32 women ages 35-39) and 330 overall out of the 600 entrants in the 8K. I have a lot to work toward this summer and for next year.<br /><br /><br /><br /></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316765896014470738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 330px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_e6HpM8O1PV0/ScjyabnanlI/AAAAAAAAACk/piZhIYv1cA8/s400/jennifer_heading_toward_the_finish.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;"><em>The finish comes into view!</em></span><br /><br /></p><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316765986108840674" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 241px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_e6HpM8O1PV0/ScjyfrPlmuI/AAAAAAAAACs/UDUxob2zTYg/s400/jennifer_clock_in_sight.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"><em><span style="font-size:85%;">The clock is only at 42 minutes--cool!</span><br /></em><br /></p><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316766054305308594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 194px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_e6HpM8O1PV0/ScjyjpS5H7I/AAAAAAAAAC0/NUlP_uQuEAk/s400/jennifer_almost_done.jpg" border="0" /><br /><p align="center"><em><span style="font-size:85%;">I am NOT going to let anyone pass me at the last minute.</span></em></p><p><br /></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316766115242961714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_e6HpM8O1PV0/ScjynMTj6zI/AAAAAAAAAC8/LvsPew-ekjE/s400/david_aaron_jennifer.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"><em><span style="font-size:85%;">David (my 16-yr old son), his friend Aaron and I after the race.<br />David ran 35:25 and Aaron was just a couple of minutes behind him.</span></em></p><p align="center"><em><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></em></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><p></p><p align='center'><i>Originally posted at "<b><a href='http://runningagainstthegrain.blogspot.com' target='_blank'>Running Against the Grain</a></b>"</i></p></div>~*~ Jennifer ~*~http://www.blogger.com/profile/01927839057749030448noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384754485952547296.post-22084236529683166092009-03-20T08:30:00.005-04:002009-03-20T10:00:38.624-04:00Why I RunI would never have considered myself an athlete. I played baseball on a boys' team when I was in the 3rd grade. I played volleyball in 5th and 6th grade. I played basketball in 7th grade and I was a cheerleader for a couple of years too. But when I got to high school, I got seriously involved in academics, band, drama, and every extra curricular club imaginable, but had no interest in sports whatsoever. I could barely run a block without gasping for air and my face turning an embarrassing shade of beet red. I used to have dreams occasionally that I was running a long distance and how good it felt, but when I woke up, I knew that I just wasn't capable of such feats.<br /><div align="center"><br /><em>"I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.</em> " <em>Ecclesiastes 9:11</em></div><br />A couple of years ago, I started doing 2 mile power walks, pushing my two young ones in the double stroller. We would go for a walk every day, weather depending. One day, I decided that I wanted to run. So, sans children, I went running. I lasted about 5 minutes before I had to slow down to a fast walk to catch my breath, and then jogged to the best of my ability to finish the route. After doing this a couple times a week, I found that I was able to go from feeling like my heart was going to explode in my neck and that I couldn't breathe to being able to comfortably take on a mile or two at a time. Once you push yourself past the barriers, past the pain, through the "I can't do this", there is something incredibly empowering about doing something you didn't think you were capable of doing.<br /><div align="center"><br /><em>"Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Hebrews 12:1b</em></div><br />I ran my first road race, a 5K, last summer. I had never run over 2 miles before in my life. This was my first race and the farthest distance I had ever taken on. But I knew I could do it. As always, my goal is not to win or to set any records, but to finish. And that I accomplished. I ran the race in just over 27 minutes. It was about 80 degrees and 90% humidity that day. I felt a great sense of accomplishment and empowerment. I was actually a runner!<br /><div align="center"><br /><em>"Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize." I Corinthians 9:24<br /></em></div><div align="center"></div><div align="left">I ran my second race a month or so later and my time was now down to around 24 minutes. Again, not striving to gain medals, but to improve my own time and to finish the race. Mission accomplished. </div><div align="center"><br /><em>"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 2 Titus 4:7 </em></div><div align="center"></div><div align="left"><br />I continued to run until the weather got too cold. We moved into a new home, so the move kept us very busy as well. I took on an indoor training regime with the elliptical and stationary bike, doing anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour a day. Then, finally, the snow melted and it was time to head back outside for the real exercise. I got my first run in of the year on March 6th. I went 3.3 miles. My legs were SO sore the next day...and the next day...and the next. I didn't know HOW they could hurt so bad when I was exercising them every single day for an hour, but apparently, running is much different than what I was doing. I pushed myself through the pain, continuing to do elliptical and stationary bike for a couple of days while outside, we had about 3 straight days of pouring rain. On March 9th, I got back outside and ran another 3.3 miles. This time it wasn't so bad. My legs didn't hurt afterward. Well, not nearly as much as they had before. Maybe I could do this after all. On March 13th, I ran over 5 miles in 52 minutes. Still no pain. I have been running now at least 3 times a week and doing indoor cross training on the days I don't make it outside. On Sunday, March 22nd, I am running in the first major road race of the year and my first 8K. I would like to run it in around 45 minutes, but ultimately, my goal, as always, is to finish.<br /><br /></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><em>"However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God's grace." Acts 20:24</em><br /><br /></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">When I run, I feel as though I have overcome my limitations. I feel empowered. I feel strong and confident. I love the freedom of being outdoors with no kids, no housework, no responsibilities. I love listening to my MP3's and feeling the wind blow against my face. When I run, it affirms that I can do anything that I set my mind to. Why do I run? Because I can.<br /><br /></div><div align="center"><em>"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength."
