My name is Dawn Dais and I am a writer and graphic designer from Sacramento, California. I wrote a book in 2007 about moving your butt (via marathoning) and then I moved my butt around the country to promote it.

Then in 2008 I embarked on another butt-moving adventure, this time on the back of a bike. Again, I chronicled my (mostly humorous) tales for the sake of others' entertainment and education. My new book, "The No Cyclist's Guide to the Century and Other Road Races" is out now and it's fully prepared to inspire you to greatness once again.

The “Should I Train for a Marathon” Test

True or False: I have no real need to get anywhere when I run; I enjoy running for hours only to end up in the same place I started. True or False: Any sport in which people have been known to literally die of exhaustion while participating is just the kind of sport I’ve been looking for. True or False: I’m interested in finding out exactly how many muscles I have in my legs. True or False: I’ve been sleeping way too much, so I’ve been looking for something to take up a few hours on my Saturday mornings.

Dressing For Cold Weather Workouts

Now that the off-season has officially come to an end and I am getting back to regularly scheduled programming, I thought it appropriate to talk about training in the cold. Thankfully, I live in Northern California, where what I consider ‘cold’ weather may be thought of more as chilly or crisp in somewhere like New York or Michigan, and maybe even balmy to my friends in Canada. But… I will admit I am a bit of a pansy when it comes to cold. I hate being cold! If I lived somewhere else, I think I would hibernate for at least a few months.
