I have been shopping here in Singapore...a lot. I can't help it! There is SO MUCH SHOPPING. There is a mall on every corner and every brand you could EVER think of is here. If you are into high-end brands, you can find them here. If you love clothes but are always looking for a deal (like me), there is plenty of shopping for you too. You can find all kinds of budget brands in Singapore (I swear Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: Exploring Little India in Singapore.
Today's post is not about fitness or fashion, but I thought I'd share some pictures from my visit to Little India. Saturday after my long run, I figured out which bus to take to get me to Little India.

When the sun came out, it was Continue Reading

On Sunday morning, I let myself sleep in a bit before heading out for an easy run down the canal to watch the Singapore marathon. The marathon actually started at 5 am (yes, 5 am! That's how hot it is here). The half marathon started at 6:30 and the 10k started at 7:15. I planned my run to the finish line area (Esplanade Park) around the 3 hour mark for the marathon. I missed the winners Continue Reading
