Hey all, just finished week 2 of training and went on my first hour long bike ride with the team! It’s been an incredible experience so far and honestly it’s already been a rewarding two weeks. I don’t think I’ve ever pushed myself this hard to train for anything before. When I first signed up for this I had no idea just how much effort I would be putting in, but it’s going great and I’m slowly making progress. There’s still several months to go and together we can easily reach my fundraising goal of 2500 dollars. Special thanks to those of you who have already donated, and thanks to those of you who will donate! I’m trying to reach my goal by August 11th and every little bit helps, so throw in a dollar or two if you can’t afford a larger donation now, it all goes to a great cause and is greatly appreciated just click the title link to go to my fundraising page. (you’d think as a writer I could come up with more adjectives right?) But now it’s time to dive back in, I’m off to the pool later to get in a swim workout while it’s nice and sunny out. Check back later for more updates and remember, together we can beat cancer.
Hi people! Just a quick update on what’s been going on in my life since I last posted, which I guess was only on Saturday but you get another post this week!
I’ve just started classes again, in fact I started them yesterday and just turned in my first assignment today, so we’ll see how it goes, fingers crossed and all that. I like my teachers so far, and as long as my insomnia doesn’t keep me up until all hours and cause me to fall asleep in class we should be fine… right?
On another note, as I posted on Saturday I’m doing a triathlon! I’ve already raised $200 of the 1900 I need, and I’m hoping to raise at least 2500 by the race on October 21st. The money goes to a really good cause and even a tiny bit helps, so even if it’s just a dollar it’s awesome and you’re all awesome for being behind me on this. So if you’re willing and able to donate please go to http://pages.teamintraining.org/az/somatri12/dishihara and select your donation amount. I’m thinking of doing a kickstarter-esque rewards structure so if you have ideas message them to me, also I may shave my head if I reach the 2500 so, yeah. Anyway point is, doing a triathlon to raise money for cancer treatments and research, ask me for more info and have a great day!
Just signed up for the Soma Triathlon this October with Team in Training. Over the next several months I’ll be asking for your support and help to reach my fundraising goal. The money I raise goes to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to help fund research for blood cancers, as well as helping to alleviate the financial burden felt by patients and their families. For more information you can check out TeamInTraining.org and lls.org
If you want to help out go to http://pages.teamintraining.org/az/somatri12/dishihara
For those of you on tumblr, you’re awesome people and it would be really awesome if you could reblog and share with people you know. Anyone can give and donations can be in any amount, so if you can help out I really appreciate it, as does everyone involved.
My fundraising page also acts as a blog so I’ll be posting periodic updates there on my progress.
What the hell, I’ll give it a try, I mean it’s not like I’m having too much success by being awkward and not knowing anyone in the area, right?
Also, last time was fun, go ahead and ask anything again, but please remember if you ask anonymously I don’t know who you are so I can’t give you specific answers

I drew a thingy. I can’t help it, they are my favorites. Two nonpowered humans ballsy enough to fight alongside superpowered macho men. I love them.

Well that was fun, only got a few questions I could publish but it a few nice messages from people asking me to email them, so I did. If you want to ask me a question here in the future go for it, I kind of like it
