On the tip of my fingers...: Prelude to Fuji
http://chele76.blogspot.com/2014/07/prelude-to-fuji.html
On the tip of my fingers. Michele, with dressing on the side. Wednesday, July 09, 2014. Next we were to haul our luggage to the station and make our way to the Fuji area. We had no idea ahead of time, but when we arived on the platform, we saw that the train was very kitchy and quaint. The hostess was happy to take some touristy photos for us. After talking about our options, we decided to check into our hostel and figure out out next steps. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm just me. Cyclist, r...

On the tip of my fingers...: SHINKONSEN and MEAT
http://chele76.blogspot.com/2014/07/shinkonsen-and-meat.html
On the tip of my fingers. Michele, with dressing on the side. Friday, July 25, 2014. Rest and relaxation time was over and now it was time to make the trek to Kyoto. This time was much less hectic. We reserved our tickets, even had places for our ginormous luggage. We waited on the track for our train, and got the full experience! Every train does not stop at every station, so at times a train will rocket by at crazy speeds, practically knocking your socks off! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

On the tip of my fingers. Michele, with dressing on the side. Monday, November 17, 2014. Tempis Fugit. Seriously. The summer and fall crawled slowly as much as they flew. I blinked my eyes and they were gone. Long days dragged by. So much can happen in such a short time, and nothing can happen at all in months. My riding has been coming along well. In September I rode on my first 50 mile ride in a few years. It was EASY! Training brings great results, it was awesome to see the rewards that day. I hav...

On the tip of my fingers...: Tokyo
http://chele76.blogspot.com/2014/07/tokyo.html
On the tip of my fingers. Michele, with dressing on the side. Wednesday, July 09, 2014. Day two of Tokyo was just as overwhelming as the first. We felt more comfortable with navigating the local JR line and subway system, so we made a trek to Shuboya for some shopping. Unfortunately we did not have a clear direction of where to go, so we spent a lot of time walking around and picking up some small items. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

On the tip of my fingers...: Five Days In Kyoto
http://chele76.blogspot.com/2014/07/five-days-in-kyoto.html
On the tip of my fingers. Michele, with dressing on the side. Wednesday, July 30, 2014. Five Days In Kyoto. When we settled into our house in Kyoto we quickly found a grocery store and bought items to cook breakfast. We were all very grateful to have some food that we recognized, enjoyed and did not need to have an adventure to find. I was VERY happy to have this great breakfast on our first full day. We walked around the grounds and explored the many Toriis. These were in the formation of a larger t...

On the tip of my fingers. Michele, with dressing on the side. Monday, March 09, 2015. Mental Reset and some TMI. Disclaimer. if you get squeamish reading about women's health, you may want to skip past this post. Ok you are still here. Let's get into this. But I hit a low. My body was screaming at me. I needed to figure out what it was. Due to my handy-dandy super awesome journal. I spotted a trend. I was missing a couple workouts and felt poor for a few days prior to getting my period. We talked about a...

On the tip of my fingers...: Six Weeks In
http://chele76.blogspot.com/2015/02/six-weeks-in.html
On the tip of my fingers. Michele, with dressing on the side. Sunday, February 15, 2015. Some days are easy, and I hop right out of bed and get to the pool for 7am. Other days I am dragging and it takes every ounce of my energy just to take that step out of bed. Some mornings I am so tired I could cry. Some days I am so hungry I feel as though I can eat everything in sight. This is freaking amazing. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Random Bits of Sparkle.

On the tip of my fingers. Michele, with dressing on the side. Sunday, March 29, 2015. To prepare for the Ironman, I train for ten plus hours a week. With all this training, it is sometimes frustrating to not see the numbers on the scale move. It is times like that in which it is important for me to remind myself of the non-scale wins. The good news is that I am seeing them on a regular basis. Let's hear it for loosing some backfat! Today I tried it on to see how it looked, and voila! Subscribe to: Post C...

On the tip of my fingers...: FUJISAN!
http://chele76.blogspot.com/2014/07/fujisan.html
On the tip of my fingers. Michele, with dressing on the side. Wednesday, July 09, 2014. We woke up early to catch the bus up to the 5th station. It was cloudy and raining when we arrived the previous morning, so we hadn't actually seen Mt Fuji at this point. We had such a wonderful surprise as we walked out the front door of our hostel. Spectacular views of Mount Fuji! The bus dropped us off at the 5th station where we picked up some provisions and had some breakfast. As we got higher and higher, the wea...

On the tip of my fingers...: Relaxation time in Hakone
http://chele76.blogspot.com/2014/07/relaxation-time-in-hakone.html
On the tip of my fingers. Michele, with dressing on the side. Friday, July 25, 2014. Relaxation time in Hakone. After out trek up Mount Fuji, it was now time for the relaxation and the fun part of our trip. The hard part was over! We had to lug our big American luggage, backpacks and poles across four busses to get to a point where the resort would send a shuttle to pick us up. The place we were staying at sounded nice in the write-up but we wouldn't really know until we got there. I'm just me. Cycli...
