Brain Melting Heat
Our weekend in Hoi An was pretty great. We spent three days relaxing on the beach, walking around the small city, and spending entirely too much money on clothes and presents for family. I loathe shopping. Something about my being 6 feet tall and having long legs just...3-Day Weekend Away
It’s a three-day weekend here in Vietnam and that means one thing: We’re on the move! Tomorrow morning, bright and early, we are headed to the little town of Hoi An in middle Vietnam. We were there during our 3-week Christmas trip and liked it so much we...Running Zen Re-Discovered
It’s been a little while since I’ve run longer than 20 minutes. Not having a race to train for, and only really being able to run on the treadmill, is the anti-motivation. Today, I hopped on the treadmill for a nice and easy 30 minutes. I put on some tunes...Too Busy To Gym
Phew! This week has been hectic. I feel like now that our flight to New York has been officially booked, we have a lot to do. This week has been dedicated to the job hunt, after-school work meetings, and Rob going to the dentist three times (he chipped a tooth). The...Next Adventures
Last year at this time, Rob and I were packing up our separate apartments, selling all our furniture, and researching countries we wanted to visit while teaching in Ho Chi Minh City. Currently, we are analyzing what clothes we can throw out, what souvenirs we want to...Less Running, More Lifting
My workouts were pretty good this week. Even though I would like to workout 5-6 times a week, it just doesn’t seem to happen. I’ll take 4 though because at least I made it there. Sometimes that is half the battle. On the “Off” days I...6-Minute Bikini Body Challenge
Things have been quite hectic after work this week and the gym has had to take a back seat. There are some really exciting things happening in the next few months and I’ve needed those usual gym hours to start preparing for them. Monday – Off Tuesday...A Week of Not Going to the Gym
It’s been a total Debbie Downer week. I have had no motivation to do much of anything besides go to work and come home. I even ate lunch out three times this week, which never happens. Usually it’s only once, as a treat. Instead of berating myself for the...Heart Up Lift Up Arm Workout
Lifting weights and I are just getting our start in the world. When I ran in college, we would go through a weight machine rotation twice a week. Basically, we would sit on 20 different arm or leg machines for 30 seconds each before our coach yelled,...Speed it UP Treadmill Workout
I first shared this workout back in 2013 after a three week hiatus from running. This was when Rob and I were living in Vietnam and we had been traveling for a week and then I was sick for another week or so. Most people cannot stand the treadmill, but I really...Knee Twinge
Rob and I are perfect travel partners. We are out from dawn till dusk, or later, and are determined to pack our days with as much sightseeing as possible. I mentioned yesterday how we averaged about 4 miles of walking per day during our Japan trip. Though that...
