Breaking Up with Running – Injury to Opportunity

August 31, 2017 by Mone' Haen 8 Comments

On Wednesday, August 2nd at precisely 6:07AM, I pulled my right calf. Yes, I know the exact date and time because I was running with my friend, Cortney and we were heading up a hill just outside of the Donner Picnic Site to meet more friends, Audrey, Tiffany and JP, for a run on Drunken […]

The Donner Triathlon Events take place over two days in July with a Sprint distance triathlon, Open Water Swims and Kids triathlons taking place on Saturday; and the Olympic and Half Ironman distance triathlons and Aquabike events taking place on Sunday.   This year, I had the pleasure of competing in two of those events – […]

Waddle Ranch Half Marathon Course Recap

June 20, 2017 by Mone' Haen Leave a Comment

The Waddle Rach Half Marathon took place on June 4th, 2017 and is part of the Truckee Running Festival and the Tahoe Trail Running Series put on by Big Blue Adventure. If you’re a local Truckee runner, you have likely “explo-run-ed” Waddle Ranch. If you haven’t, you should as it’s one of the many local trail […]

CIM 2016

December 31, 2016 by Mone' Haen 3 Comments

My CIM weekend was a solo mission this year.  In years past, my husband Abe and daughter Sawyer have come with me to Sacramento for race weekend.  Sawyer is clearly a Truckee kid as evidenced by her enthusiasm for exotic contraptions such as stop lights, flashing cross walk signs, elevators, and escalators so the opportunity […]

Workout of the Month – Salute the Sun

May 31, 2016 by Mone' Haen Leave a Comment

If you’ve been to a “Vinyasa” or “Flow” yoga class before, you’ve likely performed this sequence.  It’s a fairly typical warm-up sequence for most classes and will be very familiar to those who have a regular practice. So a few things before we get started.  You don’t need a mat.  Just find a clear space […]

Workout of the Month: “The Butt Class”

February 29, 2016 by Mone' Haen Leave a Comment

“I love The Butt Class!”, as our very own Betsy Nye has coined it.  “The Butt Class” is a cheeky way of referring to The Bar Effect.  While The Bar Effect is designed as a whole-body, strength workout, there is significant concentration on the core and “butt” or more scientifically – the gluteus.  As runners, we’re […]

Member Highlight – Rich Molsby

October 26, 2015 by Mone' Haen 2 Comments

Pete Broomhall and I had the pleasure of interviewing Rich Molsby for this month’s Member Highlight. Rich is the “Mo” of MOBO Law here in Truckee. He also happens to be a triathlete and a loyal DPMR member – in fact he was one of the first ten members to join the club after its […]

Recipe of the Month – Breakfast Polenta

August 31, 2015 by Mone' Haen Leave a Comment

This recipe has been adapted from a recipe by Liz Applegate, PhD as published in The Runner’s World Cookbook.  It’s a go-to breakfast in our house, and is fairly quick, easy and quite delicious.  The measurements below make two very large servings (about 11 ounces each).  We get two adult-size servings and one kid-size serving out […]
