Goals for this weekend: go for a 9 mile run Saturday and a 13 mile run Sunday. Buy and pack boxes for the move. Bake gingerbread men for a Christmas party on Tuesday night. Sushi date with Dan. Snoopy exhibit at Mori Tower. <\/p>\n

But none of this got done because I caught a nasty cold!!<\/p>\n

Friday I spent the day cleaning the house, doing laundry and working on sewing patches on Dan’s happi coat. I then went out to Nogizaka to run with the F3H3 hash<\/a>. It was so cold out! I brought 2 jackets, but Dan forgot his so I gave him one of mine. We spent time with friends and went our separate ways- I went with some friends to Harajuku for ramen, and he went to Omote-Sando for beers with friends. I spent a lot of time outside in the cold this week- hashing and a trip to Tokyo Disney Sea. So it really shouldn’t be a shock to me that I got sick. And on that note, I should be thankful I’m sick now. My final back to back distance runs are next weekend, then race weekend, moving, road trip and Princess half. I don’t get sick often, so hopefully I got it “out of the way”. <\/p>\n

With that, here is what I have accomplished since Friday afternoon:
\nToy Story
\nA Bug’s Life
\nToy Story 2
\nMonsters Inc.
\nFinding Nemo
\nThe Incredibles
\nCars
\nRatatouille
\nWALL-E…
\nand when we decided we should be more festive, we watched the 3 Prep & Landing specials, Muppet Christmas Carol, Home Alone and ELF. <\/p>\n

Yes, I said we! Dan is awesome and has been camping out in bed with me the past 2 days, working on his laptop. I don’t know how I got so lucky!<\/p>\n

Since I don’t have anything exciting to report on, here are some snapshots from the past week (with the exception of Thanksgiving and Dan and I haring for the Samurai hash).
\nDan and I hared a Samurai trail together! I wanted to earn all the hare patches I could before I moved, and Samurai was last on my list. Dan and I planned an awesome trail, ran live from the pack and didn’t get caught!
\n\"<\/a>
\nAfter our success at Samurai, we were invited to an epic Thanksgiving dinner at our friend Kuang’s house. It was SO GOOD. I made my sister’s famous pumpkin cheesecake and some cookies and it was a hit!
\n\"<\/a>
\nI know I already posted about making my nephew a stocking, but here’s another picture of the stocking in production, with Penny as my helper
\n\"<\/a>
\nMade snickerdoodles!
\n\"<\/a>
\nOrganized a Hanukkah hash for my usual running group. Complete with t shirts, dreidels and gelt. People didn’t exactly play dreidel by the rules, but they were nonetheless a hit!
\n\"<\/a>
\nWent to a beautiful park lit up for the holidays with Dan and friends
\n\"<\/a>
\nBib numbers and corrals were released for Goofy’s Race & a Half Challenge! This doesn’t really mean anything, but it makes race weekend more real and exciting!
\n\"<\/a>
\nWent to Disney Sea with my coworkers Erica and Jenna!
\n\"<\/a>
\nOur friend from hashing, Kevin, took Dan and I to his favorite okonomiyaki restaurant. We enjoyed bacon wrapped veggies, oysters in cheese, and delicious okonomiyaki- lettuce, egg, onion, garlic, a touch of batter, mayo, and some other veggies. So delicious!
\n\"<\/a>
\nI started emptying out my closet for the move and am giving away SO MUCH CLOTHING. Much of it I moved over in 2010 and hardly wore, so it didn’t seem worth the effort to move it again. Penny insisted on helping.
\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s pretty much all I’ve been up to! Coming up: Christmas hashes, my final long distance training runs, holiday baking (gingerbread men, cutout and frosted sugar cookies, ebelskivers [Dan’s Christmas morning tradition], and chocolate pecan pie), Christmas parties, packing, and finishing our Christmas cards!<\/p>\n

I’ll continue to while away my days with Pixar and Christmas movies, my never-ending reading list, games on my iPad, next to my giant box of tissues and Holiday Cranberry candle. I’ll end with a photo I just took before I started this entry- Penny at my feet <3\n\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
