Outside the Comfort Zone

Sue Doherty Gelber is a New Englander turned Chicagoan now living in Colorado. She is a graduate of Amherst College and the University of Massachusetts, both of which are fine institutions and should not be judged on the basis of having Sue as an alumnae. She enjoys traveling, writing, and complaining about things, not necessarily in that order. Her author website can be found at suedgelber.com.

Unfortunately, she has a history of signing up for sporting events that she’s not qualified to do. The casualty count so far: a Half-Ironman, four marathons, twenty-plus half-marathons (including two in January in Chicago – yes, outdoors), several triathlons, various cycling events, and even a swim race (a major lapse in judgment). There seems to be no known treatment for this sign-up-aholic disease. Please consider donating to find a cure.
