It keeps getting hotter and more humid here in Tokyo. But first, I thought I’d share some pictures I forgot to post in my last blog about Okinawa. We went to the Aquarium! Impressive! Dan checking out the sharks Dolphin show on the beach! But back to Tokyo! I wouldn’t say running has been put […]

Can you believe it?! It seems like it was just January, Dan and I were a combined 50 lbs heavier, in bed on our laptops, signing up for the half marathon, feeling like it was ages away, and worrying we won’t lose weight or train enough. Oh, we’re training. Here’s a picture of Dan after […]

I can now say I have achieved one of my New Years resolutions: I ran a half marathon start to finish! In 2010, I decided to run complete a half marathon before my 25th birthday, on June 26th. I barely trained, and in the end I walked most of it, and was diagnosed with a […]

This Friday was a busy one! To start, I’ve had a rash on my arm for a while now, so I decided to go to a doctor in Japan for the first time. Dan helped me find a dermatologist, and I had my appointment Friday morning. It was the fastest and cheapest doctor’s appointment I’ve […]
