Good Rising. Great Running!

I have decided to take action towards world peace, in addition to all the other things I am already doing. With this action, I hope
to accomplish many things, including:

• better health for my self
• better health for my dogs
• pushing myself beyond my comfort zone
• raising awareness about cruelty to animals
• raising awareness about vegetarian lifestyle; in my opinion, mistreating, killing and eating animals contributes to worldwide violence and disease amongst human beings.
• setting a better example for the youth of today, the men & women of tomorrow

thereby establishing that world peace can begin with vegetarian diet and proper treatment of animals, with kindness,
compassion and respect for all life.

So, I have started training for a 13.1 mile mini marathon. My dogs are my training partners. I ride my bike to the course location, then run. Sometimes I swim as well. Planning on running a course somewhere in Round Valley, where I currently reside. In addition to running, I am also raising money for PeTA: People for the Ethical Teatment of Animals.

Here is my petapack page where you can make a contribution on my behalf:

This is where I will be posting about the training. The blog here at tchiya.com will continue even after the race on
November 11, because I think that I will just keep on running for world peace!!!

On Day 2, I tried to reach for my cell phone while holding leash with running dog in other hand, while riding my bike! OUCH! Talk about painful multitasking!

And here is a video of me running towards my bike...

well, it's still at youtube....

How did this all come about? Well, I have been saying for years that when I hit my 50's I would start training for triathlons.
And even run in races. One day last month, I saw a flyer about a triathlon right here in Round Valley. This event was sponsored by Round Valley Indian Health Center. I entered, I ran and
I got second place. There were only three people in the race, but that is beside the point! LOL!!! I LOVED the feeling!
I am hooked.....
Here are some photos from that great day!
