Runs and Pictures

I’ve received emails about my runs, so I thought I’d take a screen shot of my Nike+ program on my iPod when I go for a run, so people can see how I do! I’m making good progress at getting back to my pre-vacation distance. Before I left, I was running 7.5 miles. Today I […]

Alternate working title- Running: How Laurel Got Her Groove Back I’m elated to be writing this blog entry after a FANTASTIC run. As you all have read over the past week or so, I’ve been whining and moaning about just not feeling it when I go out for runs. I lost muscle and endurance on […]

Neither Dan nor I worked today, and we had nice weather, so we decided to have some fun! First I had brunch with a good friend I met while volunteering in Ishinomaki last summer. I’m so glad I’ve been able to keep in touch with so many volunteer friends! She took me to a fun […]

I’ve been home for a little over 2 weeks now, and so much has changed! The biggest change is I finally start teaching part time at night. It’s nice to have something to do and people to talk with! I practice English with a few people at a time and get to learn about daily […]

Getting to the point where I am sitting with a student teaching has taken a very long time. I applied for my job in mid December, did supplemental paperwork and 2 interviews in January, accepted in early February, and went to a week long training in mid February.

Oy! I just went for my first run back from vacation! I ran about a mile before I gave up. A mere 2 weeks ago I was running 6, 7 miles like it was no big deal! I suppose there has been about a one week break from my last run. My body wanted to […]

Monday at Disney Sea

Before we headed out to Hawaii, Dan and I spent a day at Disney Sea, Tokyo Disneyland’s sister park! We had a fantastic time, especially since we spent the whole day. Usually when we go to the Disney Parks here, we go after 6pm, since it’s only half price. So with a full day we […]

A week or so ago Dan and I rode our bikes about 6km to the town of Kichijoji. We love Kichijoji for lots of reasons- a good vegan donut place, good shopping, our favorite movie theater. On this day we found a new reason to love this town- cat cafes! Here in Tokyo, there are […]
