First off, today is the last day to enter my Endorphin Warrior bracelet giveaway! Enter here! Happy Friday! Mine always is- it’s when I go hashing! I wasn’t planning on running with the group tonight in Kichijoji, so I got a run in this morning. I only went a mile, but I didn’t hold back […]

Alright, so yesterday was National Sibling Day, and of course I didn’t know until the day was nearly over! So in honor of NSD, (or as you probably see it now, Throwback Thursday), here’s my sister and I, back in I believe 1989. I’m in blue I’m so lucky to have such a great big […]

Hey all! I want to thank you all for your kind comments and e-mails I received yesterday. It has been so incredibly frustrating not only NOT being able to run, but having no one understand when you explain the pain! So thanks for that! I thought I’d start today off with something I observed at […]

Alternative working titles: Fixing my Broken Feet, The Day the Podiatrist Took all my Money, How Laurel Got her Groove Back Part IV I’ve been quiet on the running front this week, haven’t I? In all honesty, it’s been a less than stellar week. Achilles pain returning, now a new calf pain, and a lot […]
The Hash House Harriers

I have been meaning to make this post for quite a while, because I blog frequently on my running group, and I wanted to explain a little more what it’s all about. I haven’t been hashing as long as my fiancé Dan, so I thought it’d be fun to interview him and let him explain […]

Happy Thursday all! We had beautiful weather here today! I spent the day over at Yokota, the air force base here in the Tokyo area. My friend Christine from work lives there, and we had a lot planned for today! She met me at the train station and we grabbed lunch, then we went to […]

Well my day had a good start to it: 8 miles! This is so far my longest run post-injury. The time was slower than I’d care for, but my coworker Jenna came over this morning and we ran it together. Knowing I can get the distance down is great, and now I just need to […]
