All You Own Is The Effort

July 26, 2018 by Leave a Comment

In the continuing saga of, Donloree Tries to Become A Runner, I decided to go a different route with the professional help. The one thing that is clear with all of this is my need for professional help. After graduating from physio, I continued to hurt while running and even hiking. I have continued to do […]

The days may be long, but the years are short. Somehow the seasonal switch got flipped up here in the subarctic. Just last month I was plugging in my little red jeep and trying to not die in the -20 degree weather. 45 degrees and 3 weeks later, we officially have spring. Every single winter, […]

My Career As A Showgirl Is Over

Or, more accurately, never got started. Hearing that you are most likely not going to be a showgirl while a man is shoving needles into your hips and you’re trying not to scream is not what most women do on a Wednesday afternoon. Apparently I am not most women. I went back to the Bearded […]

Life Is Like Riding A Bicycle …

Be Yourself? Umm… Maybe Try Again …

August 28, 2017 by 2 Comments

Some of the worst advice out there is, “Be yourself.” Want to know a secret? Sometimes ‘yourself” really sucks.

Donloree Sinister 7

10 kilometers into my leg of Sinister 7, I wondered how in the world I could be THAT sweaty.  Sure, it was a sweltering day in Crowsnest Pass, but how can a woman sweat so much that it drips down her legs and literally pours off of her like a mini Niagara Falls? She can’t. Or at […]

The Price of Fear

June 22, 2017 by 2 Comments

As soon as spring comes I am one of those ridiculous people who has their road bike out in the slush riding alongside the runners in shorts just because it is finally ‘hot‘. Or the woman on the mountain bike who is poised at the top of a trail in the valley which is currently […]

Rubicon

Little Wild Horse Canyon

Over the course of the past three years, I have grown and gone through more than I thought possible. Or wanted to. Contrary to how I would prefer to live, from time to time I have caught myself fearing the future, waiting for the other shoe to drop and imagining the worst. The problem is, […]
