Isabeau had to leave for her flight at 7:30, so we all said bye to each other before she got in her cab to the airport. I went for a run. I did 1 mile warm up, then 2 minutes hard pace followed by 1 minute recovery for 2 miles, then 1 mile cool down, … More 6/26/18: Running Around Bangkok
We were woken up at 5:30 by the station management. They needed us to get out of bed so they could convert the beds into normal seats. It was fascinating to watch— they somehow took the bunk beds and turned them into normal train benches, like Transformers. We watched the sunrise from the train, which … More 6/24/18: Street Fights, Street Food, Street Dancing (Bangkok)
I started my 5-mile run along the river in Krabi. About a mile down, the path turned into a big park with tons of people doing their morning exercise– some jogging, some walking, others playing basketball, and still others doing tai-chi. I rarely get to exercise among others in Asia, so it was really nice … More 6/19/18: Slow Journey To Koh Chang Noi
We woke up around 8 am and went to Khun Niyom for our final meal on Phi Phi. I had fried rice with green curry, which was, of course, phenomenal. I’m really going to miss this place. Not necessarily the island, but the restaurant. We checked out of the guest house and walked to the … More 6/18/18: Vegan Street Food In Krabi
We got our day started around 9:30 as we walked toward the produce markets for some fruit. We saw a stand selling various bao, so we bought a black bean one to share. Across the street was a fruit stand that was also selling fried coconut patties, so we bought one of those too. We … More 6/16/18: Caught In A Tropical Storm (Phi Phi)

I made breakfast at my hostel with my mango, muesli, and soy milk. One of the hostel staff members saw me with my soy milk and told me to stop drinking it because it’s bad for me. I told him I disagreed, and we got in a bit of an argument. He pulled up all … More 3/14/18: Final Night In Vietnam
This morning I went for a 4 mile run: tempo. It sucked! It was so hot, but it also felt nice by the end… that’s always how tempo runs go, isn’t it? After breakfast I went to look for a cafe to work in. It took me forever to find somewhere, and I ended up … More 1/23/18: Bye Bangkok/Hello Myanmar
Today was my chill day. I woke up, got the same toast & fruit breakfast, got a bit of work done (blogging, editing podcast) at a nearby cafe called Om Garden Cafe, where I also had my first vegan Thai tea (!!). Then I got lunch at Earth Tone Cafe, where I had to share … More 1/17/18: Hanging Out Alone
I woke up and went for a 3 mile run at an easy pace. After the run, I got food from a local store to eat for lunch (eggplant, and stir fried cabbage with rice). I always try to get food ahead of time when I know I’ll be on a bus/train for a while … More 1/14/18: Starting Over In Pai
