(Anthony wrote a bit about his current journey in Vietnam!) The day started just like any other: alarm off at 6, teeth brushed, workout clothes on and off to breakfast. Except something was different this morning. Oh, that’s right, I woke up in Ho Chi Minh City. Breakfast was the usual, an omelet with the works, some … Continue reading »
Luck wasn’t on my side when I asked my friends to come to a Saturday potluck on my roof. By Wednesday, we knew it was supposed to be too cold + rainy for such an event. But we didn’t let Mother Nature stop us. We moved it inside! We got pretty creative in terms of food. … Continue reading »
Before a long run I always eat some peanut butter toast + coffee. It’s a magical combination. Eases the stomach, fuels the legs, sparks the mind! And also soaks up some of the wine from last night. Remote and wine glass within reach? Pretty much summed up the evening. Wine and TV just hit the … Continue reading »
Girls’ week continues! Melanie and I walked to work together yesterday- even the rain won’t stop us! Fun fact about Melanie: Her umbrella is in fact from Brooks brothers, but it is unisex. More girl time when Catherine and I met up for frozenyo in the evening. Fun fact about Catherine: She does not like toppings … Continue reading »
I’m sick. Looks like the city is taking a day of rest too! The morning looks sleepy. The sun is hiding! When I’m sick, the question is always To Run or Not To Run. The answer depends on a lot of things, like whether I’m training for a race or not, whether it’s nice outside … Continue reading »
I had enough time to make breakfast at mi casa. Usually I throw some stuff in a tupperware and eat breakfast at work. I did some kettlebell stuff and box jumps at the gym. I feel incredibly out of shape every time I do something Crossfit-inspired. But today I felt especially blah because I’m a … Continue reading »
Nothing like a crack-of-dawn-run-with-friends to get a Tuesday going! We ran around the National Cathedral etc. Followed by an (unpictured) coffee date at Tryst. Like last time, we were the only ones in the cafe. Yes! Miriam and I noted how unbelievably sweaty we were for a chillier morning. Which led to a larger discussion … Continue reading »
It might seem like Monday but I am viewing it as a great embarkment on the 1,285th week of my life! This is the only 1,285th week I’ve got so I’m planning on making it a good one. Highlights will include meatloaf and muffins. Muffins because I have an awkward jar of applesauce I want … Continue reading »
Nothing I love more than a big post-run feast. Fueled back up! Anthony met me at Founding Farmers for brunch after my run. We’ve always wanted to go there for breakfast but geographically it’s not ideal for either of us (we’re carless). BUT, yesterday, we both ended up in the Foggy Bottom area (me, for my … Continue reading »
Having a camera around at all times has been really great. You can take pictures of diehard shoppers at Whole Foods. That is how insane the salad bar gets during lunch break. You can also take pictures of Harry Reid and security personnel (also at Whole Foods). An anti-World Bank/IMF/IFC protest outside Anthony’s building. Or, … Continue reading »
