I’m completely cloud-9ing right now after a great weekend of running. A successful hash and a successful distance training for Goofy’s Race & a Half Challenge. Saturday- Samurai Jingle Bell Run (Samurai Hash House Harriers) Yesterday (Saturday) Dan and I chose to run at the Samurai hash because A- it was a Christmas run, B- […]

Goals for this weekend: go for a 9 mile run Saturday and a 13 mile run Sunday. Buy and pack boxes for the move. Bake gingerbread men for a Christmas party on Tuesday night. Sushi date with Dan. Snoopy exhibit at Mori Tower. But none of this got done because I caught a nasty cold!! […]
Big News! I’m Moving!

I’ve been putting off blogging about this for a while, and once I wrote it out, I sat on it for even longer. Maybe I kept thinking I’d change my mind. Or I’d find a perfect job here in Tokyo. Or all my US family and friends would decide to move to Japan. But those […]
The Road to Goofy

I’m ridiculously pleased to say that training for Goofy’s Race & a Half Challenge is going really well. Or at a minimum, FAR better than last year (when I didn’t train). I haven’t missed a distance run yet and my mileage is climbing. When it was time to run 16 miles I couldn’t fathom it. […]

I have been so busy playing catch up on my blog that I’ve actually been back in Japan for 2 weeks! I was home for a day before Dan and I headed south to Kyoto for Nash Hash, a nation-wide hashing event. Since then, Dan and I settled into a nice routine. We’re officially training […]
The Day I Eloped! 8.19.10

The truth has officially come out- Dan and I are married! And have been for about 3 years! Summer 2010 was a turbulent time. My marketing job wasn’t panning out as I’d hoped, Dan was moving to Japan in September and my mother was diagnosed with aggressive cancer. It was a lot to deal with. […]
Goodbye to Summertime Sadness

Well, the song that dominated Portland’s radio stations this summer was completely accurate- I did, in fact, have that summertime sadness. This is Dan’s cousin Josh. He passed away 2 weeks ago today. He was our funnyman and just a blast to be around. Dan and Josh at a family reunion 2.5 years ago Dan […]
