Seventeen miles in the Singapore sun- complete! It was brutal, but it was my own fault. I couldn't get motivated to get up so I didn't start running until around 6:30 am. I only had a short amount of time before the sun came up and once the sun is up, there's no escaping the heat! Guess what? Here's another picture of Marina Bay Sands. You're welcome. When the sun came out, it was Continue Reading

I missed the winners Continue Reading

So my afternoon activities will be dictated a little by the weather today. Shopping, perhaps?

Fits on the Road: Welcome to Singapore!
I'm alive! I apologize that I have been a little MIA over here. I'm adjusting to a lot of things: a 14 hour time difference, a 100 degree temperature difference, and of course the culture shock of working and living on the other side of the world. I'm back now with a super long post for you to enjoy. (Thanks for reading Mom!) I arrived in Singapore very late Wednesday morning after 24 Continue Reading
