Tonight is the 10K and half-marathon portions of the Sundown series of races. I’m sitting these out, running-wise, but I’ve scoped out a section of the course that should be far enough from civilization that I can cheer my fool head off. Find me between 15 and 16 km tonight, runners! Good luck, and […]
Sometimes, I use this space to talk about weird, annoying, or frustrating things I’ve discovered about living in Singapore. But the truth is, I love living here. And I love it for many, many reasons. But tonight, as I actually work on a serious (and probably controversial) blog post (not this one, another one), here […]
As mentioned briefly in an earlier post, I’m making an effort this age year (my 31st year, not 2013) to be more conscientious about documenting all of my workouts – rather than just my running. So this series will be a new weekly post, mostly for my benefit. But feel free to take a peak, […]
It’s Friday! Let’s celebrate with a low-text and care-free Good Mornings post: Ingenious: Take a favorite snack food, and turn it into a drink !! Those Taiwanese folks are so smart. “Chocolate Rice” YES. Total awesomeness. So don’t even bother with the sprinkles/jimmies debate. [Yes, there is also “Rainbow Rice”.] This shirt cracks me up. Do you […]
On Tuesday morning, I opened up my trusty Timbuk2 bag and found this: The day started just fine – KMN and I went out for a short run in the morning, and I sat down to work. But as the morning went on, my neck got tighter…and tighter…and tighter. By mid-afternoon, I was pretty much […]
In my post from yesterday (It’s Not The Heat, It’s The Sweat!), I spent lots of word-age describing how I’ve adjusted to living in a tropical climate, and some of my strategies for making daily life more comfortable. One important note: Many of the physiological changes that occur to help humans adjust to warm weather […]
When KMN and I decided to make the move to Singapore, I was worried about a few things. “Staying in touch with family and friends” was at the top of the list. Not far behind that was “The Heat“. Before the move, I’d already been to Singapore half a dozen times, for anywhere from 1-3 […]
It is 8 PM (when I started this post), and I am sitting in bed, with the air conditioner blasting in the bedroom and my feet propped up. I’m also eating pineapple. In bed. Decadent, right? And I’m pondering how I cut up one – just one – pineapple, yet half of these pieces taste […]
Fortunately, today is Friday (for me!). Unfortunately, I totally got up on the wrong side of the bed yesterday morning. [Does anyone else think the use of ‘on’ is weird in this phrase?] Fortunately, both feet still hit the floor before any other body part, so no injuries were incurred. [And our bed, according to all […]
Let’s kick this off on a serious (but oft over-looked note): Extra love to all of you out there today who are, for whatever reason, missing your Mamas. Maybe they’re far away (physically or emotionally), or have already come and gone from this world. I can’t imagine how hard this day is for you. Ditto for […]
