i did it!

whew... it was a close one... i almost didnt make 100 miles this month. but today i tally-ed it up and im at 101 miles! whooohoooooo

this week has been pretty fun at the english school. we are doing a "cup of noodles" lesson.. this entails spending 25 minutes teaching kids vocabulary and feeding them noodles. i love when i tell them its bad manners to slurp their noodles (in japan its ok to make noise when you eat noodles) they get all nervous and giggly.

hmm what else. last wekend was pretty uneventful. saturday i went for a long run (2 hrs) and then i cleaned, went to the store and bummed around all night. sunday i went to church, then ate with my friends at the park, then a few of us went to a game center and played pingpong and pool. then dinner. it was such a nice sunday. i didnt want it to end!!

this weekend i was supposed to go to yokohama to visit a friend, but the buses were full so i will go in a few weeeks. so instead i'll meet some friends on saturday and hang out and study japanese.

thats about it.
have a good day

right now

seriously. go to itunes right now. on the itunes store page scroll down to free on itunes. download rob and big. it is the funniest 21 minutes ever. i laughed so hard i was crying. ive never heard of this show. but i think i would consider watching another episode based on this one. hahaha. wow.

whats new? not too much!

So as of today, i have run 513.3 miles in 2007. i am hoping to run at least 100 a month for the whole year. this month i am coming up a bit short (due to taking it easier becuase of the 2 marathons i just ran) with 82.5 miles as of today for the month of may (however, there are still 5 days left this month and i think i am just going to make it... as long as i run 6 miles on mon, tues, and thurs. which is what i normally run )

i just ate these little blue chocolates shaped like penguins. yummm and string cheese. im like a little kid!

im kinda bored.

this week went by so fast... every week does! and its the last week of may! wow! in 2 and a half months, ill be visiting the US!

i signed up for a half marathon in july.

its getting warm here.

friday it rained so much! i changed my clothes like 4 times. i came home frrom spendng the night at my freids house and had to ride my bike back in the rain. then i changed then i rode my bike to the gym and then i rode home from the gym and then i walked to work. ugh. i need to buy a rain suit... or build a system of underground tunnels in kasugai.

well i think that about all for now. nothing to exciting!
