We have safely arrived in Tokyo! Our flight left Minneapolis around 11:30 am on Wednesday. There were a lot of marathoners on our flight. We could tell by their conversations and also by their shoes. We landed in Tokyo around 3:30 pm on Thursday. It's a 13 hour direct flight, but the 15 hour time difference meant that we basically lost a day but we'll gain it back on the return! We took Continue Reading
Guest Fits: Trail Running in Sedona, AZ
This is a long overdue (and picture heavy) guest post that I've owed Jessie so I'll get right down to it. While Jessie was in Singapore, I went to visit my family in Fountain Hills, AZ where my Mom and her husband go in the winter for a little pre-Christmas Christmas. Seeing as I've never spent much time in Arizona, I thought I'd take a little time before my brother and his family got in from Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: Sioux Falls, South Dakota
This past weekend, we travelled to Sioux Falls, South Dakota! We were in Sioux Falls for our friends Paul and Laura's wedding. I wasn't really sure what to expect in Sioux Falls...I mean, it's a town of about 160,000. I suppose I thought it would be a lot of farmlands and chain restaurants. And there was some of that. Yet I was pleasantly surprised by the charm of Sioux Falls, and I wanted to Continue Reading
Fits on The Road: Back at the Cabin!
Hi all! I'm blogging on my phone, which is not that easy...but I wanted to say hi. We're at the cabin for a reunion of sorts with Dustin's extended family (including his brother and family who are visiting from Japan). I did my long run yesterday morning before we left. It actually was one of my best feeling long runs so far, thanks to an early start and company from my friend Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: Hiking in Willow River State Park
Go USA/Happy 4th of July- I definitely dressed the part today for work, donning every piece of red/white/blue I own. Overboard? Failed Fit? I also enjoyed a red/white/blue bomb pop at the office as part of the soccer viewing activities. So good... Are you a big soccer fan? I will be honest that I am not, but a lot of my coworkers are, so its easy to get caught up in the excitement. So Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: New Orleans!
Hi all. I'm slowly recovering from a weekend in New Orleans. No, its not because I drank a little too much, I swear! I actually had a layover at the Dallas/Fort Worth airport, and made the mistake of getting chicken tacos at Qdoba. Worst mistake ever...I think I definitely had food poisoning, and I'm just now starting to feel human again. I will never eat Qdoba again... Anyways, on a brighter Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: Turks and Caicos…Final Call!
Final post about our short trip to Turks & Caicos! Then its back to regular Fitness, Fashion, and Fitness Fashion, I promise!Saturday morning, the weather was not as windy as the previous day. Even so, we had hoped to do a SUP (stand up paddle boarding) tour of the mangroves, but unfortunately the tour company cancelled. They felt it was still too windy to be safe.So we started the Continue Reading
