I am the author of the witty book The Nonrunner’s Marathon Guide for Women: Get Off Your Butt and On with Your Training. If you’d like an autograph copy of this instant classic you can order one here. Or go here to get more information about the book. I recently embarked on a cross-country adventure to encourage Americans to MOVE – their minds, bodies and spirits. I want to get people up off their butts and involved in their physical fitness, and also their communities. It is time to start DOING all those things you've been talking about, and I'm going to be the one who gets you up and motivated. Can I get a "Go Team!"?
One of the things I've been wanting to do is help out the New Orleans area. So I combined my book tour with efforts to raise money and awareness for the rebuilding of New Orleans. My eight week tour will ended with a two week volunteer effort in New Orleans. We had a great time with great people in a great city.
Here are some pictures from our time in New Orleans. If you’ve never been to this great city, go now. And when you do, take the time to venture outside of the French Quarter. Go really see the city, see what it looks like when an entire city is washed away. See what it looks like two years later. There is history happening in New Orleans right now. It is up to us to decide how that history is written.
Check out the various pages of this website to get more details about what I did and how you can be a part of it. Let's Dream. In motion.
Me:
My name is Dawn Dais and I am a writer and graphic designer from Sacramento, California. I wrote a book about moving your butt and then I moved my butt around the country to promote it.
I am currentlly moving my butt via bicycle. My next tale of spandex and sweat will hit the stores next year. If I don't hit a tree or squirrel first...
my myspace
You are very intelligent and strikingly good-looking. You want to do something, for yourself, for others. Something that matters, something that can make a little bit of a difference, for yourself, for others.
Us:
Together, with our combined passion (and good looks), we are going to do something big (all the while, looking fantastic). We are going to raise money and awareness for New Orleans. But more than that we are going to raise hammers and walls. We are going to both literally and figuratively help rebuild New Orleans. And we may even join hands and sing We Are the World. We are dreamers, you and I, anything can happen.
The Book: I wrote a book, “The Nonrunner’s Marathon Guide for Women”. It’s funny! It’s a book about how to train for a marathon if you hate running! It’s also about how I trained for a marathon while hating running. (Other people’s pain is funny, as it turns out.) The book is about taking on something that seems impossible and finding the focus to see it through to the end. It’s also about how many carbs you can eat when you move your butt on a regular basis. Both the focus and the carbs are what inspired my current goal.
