It's 9 PM and I am in extreme pain... this is one of those moments where I hear my mother telling me I did not make a smart choice today and that I'm not as athletic as sometimes I'd like to think I am...
This afternoon I had another class at the American Club (this one was on Traveling Destinations in Asia) and before going, I needed to go to the bank. SO I decided that I would give it a try and ride my bike... after all, everyone said it only takes 15 minutes to ride a bike to the club... the only problem is that I didn't really realize that this involved some short cuts that I didn't know...
So off I went - thinking I can do this... I learned three things along this journey: 1) it is not 15 minutes to the club - more like 40, 2) I am very much out of shape, and 3) there are many spaces in Tokyo that have very small sidewalks and people don't really always get out of the way (note to self: buy a little bell like everyone else so I can ding ding my way through the city!).
I made it home, 40 minutes or so there and 40 more back - my legs hurt so bad and my bottom is quite bruised... let's just say I won't be doing that again any time soon!
I'm scheduled to go on a walking tour of one of Tokyo's oldest temples tomorrow - while I'm sure it will be wonderful to see, I'm thinking I will be even more miserable in the morning!

Take another morsel of wisdom from your mother "wear comfortable shoes" for the tour. :) Sorry about your tush, Lance. LIVE STRONG!
made it through - although the worst part was having to walk up the stairs to the train! I wore my new crocs - but somehow still managed to rub a blister on my foot - on the side - how do you do that???
