With most my readers living in the United States, by the time you read my daily entry, that day has already passed for me. On that note, happy Friday! I had a great one 😀 My primary occupation here in Tokyo is teaching, however I spend a fair amount of time dabbling in voice work. […]

Last Friday, we celebrated Dan’s birthday with our running group (aka our hash). It was loads of fun, but before I get into that I have monumental news: I went for a run today! It’s my first run back from my achilles injury. It was slow and a little painful (not in my achilles, but […]

Before surprising my family for Christmas in the states, we had a jam packed holiday season in Tokyo! We were invited to a Thanksgiving dinner at our friends’ house on the nearby air force base. We brought pie and cookies and had a great time stuffing ourselves with great people! We arrived! Me and my […]

Almost 2 months?! Where have I been?! If you guessed traveling, you’d be correct! I just don’t seem to make it to my laptop too often when I’m on the road. At the end of November, Dan and I took a shinkansen (bullet train) down to Kyoto and had an amazing weekend of sight seeing! […]
A Tale of (Too Many) Shoes

Yes, lots of Nikes. That’s what happens when you have access to the Nike Employee Store in Portland OR, and everything is always half off! How’s the marathon training going, you ask? Tough. But if it was easy, then more than 1% of the world would have run one! I have been having major foot […]
A Run Around my Block

Dan and I are in the thick of marathon training! It’s had its ups and downs, but we are logging crazy miles these days (though I had to take a week off for a tendonitis flareup- more on that another day!). For the most part, all you know about my runs is that it generally […]

When Insomnia Leads to Crafting…

Ok, I lied. Here is another update, and we have not left Tokyo yet. Last night I just couldn’t sleep. It is so hot here! After watching a few too many episodes of Breaking Bad, I knew I had to move on to other methods of entertainment. I decided to clean up my craft room […]
