I’ve received emails about my runs, so I thought I’d take a screen shot of my Nike+ program on my iPod when I go for a run, so people can see how I do! I’m making good progress at getting back to my pre-vacation distance. Before I left, I was running 7.5 miles. Today I […]

Run!

I receive more emails about running than I do about being a resident of Japan! I thought since Dan and I are 2 months into our diet and exercise regimen I’d share what we’ve been doing and how successful we’ve been. I’d like to add that I’m not a doctor nor dietician, and a firm […]
