february!

looking forward to february! lots of nice things happen in february. tokyo marathon, valentines day- the holiday of pink! today i became a jockey ambassador. so i got some nice new running gear to wear at some races!!! its really nice! looking forward to my run tomorrow.

monday i ran 16 miles. today 10. im tired! but tomorrow is an exciting day! an old friend who i met in ohio. hes italian. is coming to nagoya. so itll be nice to catch up!

this morning, while running, i fell. again. hahah. this time, i only scraped my thumb. but it must have been a sight to see. i was wearing my running backpack and it was pretty heavy. i was trying to go up this cement hill, but it was still wet from yesterdays rain. i slipped, and because my backpack made me off balance, i rolled into the muddy grass. i kept rolling. i picked myself up, saw that no clothes were damaged, and laughed it off as i continued running.

now i am off to work. i am excited for next week. we have a planning/ open house day at work on tuesday and then thursday is a holiday! yay for breaking up the routine!

happy february!!!!
