I love a good soirée. Sometimes I even wish soirée was my middle name (no, not really. But it is pretty and fun to say!). Even better, I am blessed with a fiancé that also enjoys entertaining. When we were living in Seattle we often entertained and had fun playing host and hostess to our […]

I wish I could make a longer post, but I have a party to get ready for! Tomorrow Dan and I are having a bunch of friends over for a fiesta! Mexican food is hard to come by here, so I got my hands on everything I need to make tacos, burritos, my Guacamazing, and […]

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 […]

Happy Friday all! Mine was really fantastic! Running, cooking, pretty nails and running club! As you know, every week I make a treat for my running club. This week, I volunteered to make guacamole for my dance class Thursday, but then wasn’t able to go. What to do with 6 avocados?! In lieu of baking […]

Added another mile to my running today, and then decided to just make it a 5k. I definitely felt some soreness and aching from my ankle, but as usual I came home and iced it right away. I plan to rest tomorrow, and Friday return to my running group but take it easy. Today is […]
Officially Returning to Running!

It was a really great Tuesday: amazing weather AND I went for another run! My comeback is live and happening! A slow and steady 2 miler. It was fine, I felt out of shape, which is to be expected after not running for a month and a half. I came home and iced right away […]

I’ll level with you: my Saturday wasn’t very thrilling. Chores around the house, and then Dan and I rode our bikes to one of our favorite sushi restaurants. That evening, we caught up with some episodes of The Big Bang Theory. And then we went to bed at 10pm. Why? Because we had to be […]
