“Who here has run a marathon?” a friend of mine asked tonight. As I was flooded with emotions, about 3-4 of my guests raised their hands and excitedly swapped stories. I kept my hand down. And with that, I think I’m finally ready to talk about my experience at the 2013 Goofy’s Race & a […]

I hope everyone had a good weekend. We did! One of the best parts about hashing is the variety of kennels, or chapters. Our kennel is a Friday night one in Tokyo, and most the time we stick to the Tokyo kennels. It’s really fun to check out other kennels though, see how they’re run, […]

It’s Thursday! As usual I have no idea what I did with my week and it’s almost over! Today’s exercising was just a run. Let’s be honest, I’m not a fast runner. On top of that I’ve lost some steam since taking a month or two off for my torn achilles tendon. So I decided […]

Happy Wednesday! First off, I have to thank my future mother in law Cathy! She recently visited the Big Island in Hawaii and brought me back this awesome running shirt!

If there’s a word for today, it’s PRODUCTIVE! But before I jump into my Tuesday, Dan and I did something exciting (to us) yesterday: a trip to Costco!!! Costco is kind of far from us, but it’s a nice little taste of home, and a nice break from the high prices of Tokyo. Let’s take […]

Happy Monday! Let’s take care of business first: how adorable is my nephew in his Buzz Lightyear jammies?! I sent him a set of Woody and Buzz pajamas for his birthday last month (which still needs proper attention in the form of a blog posting), and my sister sent me pics of him that I […]

Love for Boston

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , on April 16, 2013 | 1 Comment »

First off, I’m at a loss of words for the events that transpired in Boston yesterday. I have only been a runner for a year and some change, but I have developed quite a bond with the running community in person and in social media. If only non-runners knew what running the Boston Marathon meant […]
