<\/a><\/p>\nSpeaking of running, it’s not going as great as it was earlier this year. I ran on vacation in Portland and Seattle, but towards the end of my trip my runs got shorter, if I even ventured out. I was satisfied at the time though because my weight wasn’t going up.<\/p>\n
Upon returning home and going for a run, I realized I lost all my muscle! It was SO disappointing how tired I got after a few laps at the park. It felt like starting over. To top it off, I caught a cold and took some time off running to baby myself with blankets and books and movies on the couch. I’m slowly starting to build up my distance again though, so I’m on the right track!<\/p>\n
As for diet and exercise, I’m definitely less gung-ho about it than earlier this year. My excuses are getting into the groove of starting a new job and then being sick. We ate a lot of ramen that week I had a cold. We haven’t fallen into bad habits or anything, just not being as mindful as earlier in the year. <\/p>\n
I did whip up some yummy strawberry banana pancakes for breakfast last Sunday. They were so yummy! Dan and I still go to the Ghibli Animation Museum every month to watch the film clip of the month. It feels like we’ve been a lot lately, because we went the last day of March and then the first week of April!<\/p>\n Usually the cafe is packed, but when we went there were openings! So we sat and had some cocoa in the charming little Straw Hat Cafe Playing with the water pump! The water drains into this cute little drain Spring is definitely here! The cherry blossoms are blooming and make everything so pretty! The sun is making its presence more known! Here is an aerial view of the Ghibli Musem
