Vacation Time

A couple days after my last race in Clearwater I took off for a little vacation in Japan. It was pretty fun – three days in Tokyo, three in Kyoto, and then back to Tokyo before coming back to the US. Japan is an amazing country, especially this time of year – it’s Fall there and the leaves change color.


This was me for a week: backpack + tour book. Now that I’m home I’m taking a few days rest before getting back into training – I must have walked 60+ miles last week with that backpack!


Nijo Castle in Kyoto. The maple leaves are beginning to change colors.


A kaiten-zushi restaurant (sushi train) in Tokyo. You might think the fish in that aquarium are for decoration. They’re not.
