Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on April 2, 2014 | 3 Comments »

I woke up for the half feeling more excited than I did the 10k. I sprung out of bed at 3am for the third day in a row. Usual morning routine. I was running the half in my home made Cinderella costume. Kelsey helped me sew and stuff the shoulder poufs! I got on the […]

I woke up Saturday morning ready for the 10k. I didn’t get much sleep, but that’s just how it goes during RunDisney race weekends. I had breakfast and got dressed. I was running as Minnie Mouse! I caught my shuttle to EPCOT and was later than I’d planned. The shuttle had a super long line. […]

It’s March 20th this evening. Dan and I have officially survived being apart 2 months. Which means I’ve pretty much been in Seattle for 2 months, and things have really come together as I’ve finally settled in. When I first arrived in late January, after being sick for 2 weeks and 2 straight days of […]

The last weekend of February I headed to Disney World for the Princess Half Marathon. I wouldn’t just be running the half marathon though, I signed up to do the Glass Slipper Challenge- a 10k Saturday and a half marathon the next day. And if I was running 2 races, why not throw in the […]

First off, someone asked what Ostrim jerky was, the jerky I ate during my half marathon last month. It’s really great for fueling as long as you eat it well before exercising! Here’s a shot of the packaging. I buy it at GNC. Jumping backwards by a little over a month, I never told the […]

First off, thank you for all the sweet comments and emails about my marathon! It was a big accomplishment to me and I can’t wait to work harder and improve throughout 2014. I signed up for the Space Coast Marathon November 30th. I might do one before then but if not, it will be my […]

But my experience at Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend really blew me away. Unforgettable. But first, if you’re not familiar with my […]

My time in Japan is now over. While I do plan to visit, I am no longer an expatriate, no longer a resident of Tokyo. It’s all so strange. I think it will sink in better once I’m settled in Seattle (still on the road!). I have also been horribly sick since the day I […]

The Seattle Saga

The past week has been a whirlwind of errands, parties, packing and goodbyes. Today I went back to the hospital to get my 6 stitches out, but the doctor could only take 1 out. I’m so irritated I have to not only go back, but it’s the day I leave Japan! My to-do list is […]
