I realized I’ve fallen very behind in my running/ dieting/ fitness updates! I’ve had a setback that’s been getting me down. I use Nike+ on my iPod, and have always questioned its accuracy a bit. So I decided to download a cell phone app my college friend uses. It’s called Endomondo, and it uses GPS […]

On the last night of Golden Week, Dan and I took a train out to Asakusa to attend the Hotaru Festival. Hotaru, meaning firefly, used to be a spring festival to welcome the arrival of fireflies. Sadly Tokyo doesn’t see any fireflies, so in lieu of bugs, Panasonic sent 100,000 blue LED solar powered bulbs […]

Dan and I had an amazing Golden Week holiday! We did everything on our to-do list: visit with friends, go to events, run, and relax. Friday was a busy friend day! I had lunch with two girl friends from my work training, and it was wonderful to catch up with them. After that, I met […]

Let the Golden Week Holidays begin! I’m officially off work for the next 4 days and Dan and I are going to make the best of it! We decided to leave our first day off open with no plans so we can catch up on things at home. To today’s agenda: a 10 mile run, […]

Oh yes, Dan and I took the plunge and signed up to do the Walt Disney World Goofy’s Race and a Half next January! We never thought we’d sign up so early, but the event was already over half full, so we just decided to go for it! The Goofy Challenge is waking up on […]

Despite not getting much sleep (5 tossy-turny hours), today was fabulous! I taught 10-1pm and came home and had a protein filled lunch of eggs and a banana. Then Dan and I went to the bedroom to get ready to run. I pulled open the curtains so Penny could lay on the bed in the […]
