8 kilometers (5 miles!!!)

Well, well, well...today was quite the run.  8 kilometers, which I found out is roughly 5 miles.  Paced myself very well throughout the first four, or I thought I did! Last four kind of hurt, and I felt like I was pushing myself a little too much, but I am happy with the results...except that my shins hurt a little more than usual.  I think I need to do more ankle rolls and stretching before my runs.

And after running 8 kilometers today, I met my friend, Rika, and one of her friends in Tokyo.  We did a lot of walking around Tokyo as well, so it was a very exercise filled day! We walked around the "kitchen" area of Tokyo and there were so many things I wanted to buy.  I decided to be healthy and buy an apple slicer, and not healthy by buying a mold for making chocolates.  I decided on dinosaur shapes.  I think that would be cute for chocolate!  I am so excited to try making some chocolates, and making them healthy!  Ryuta and I will be having a dinner guest on Wednesday so I will attempt my first chocolate creations around them...and I have so many ideas for making them healthy.  I think I will be adding fruit to the chocolate, and I would like to add grains in some way...but the major grain here is rice and I don't think rice chocolate sounds very appetizing, but I will figure something out.
