If I were a painter...

13 miles

I hit the 13-mile mark today for my marathon training, which means if I can run another 13, I’ve done the full marathon.

This is really happening, and it’s an amazing feeling. 

Too bad my legs are pretty much broken from today’s run, so I’ll be recuperating the next few days

I wish I had the money and time to travel…

Oh, I want to go here there. Why does it have to be half-a-world away? That must be part of its appeal. —Wright

jinsei asked: hi Diana! I just want to say thanks for your "oonce" playlist. When I was driving on a recent road trip, it was a major factor in helping me stay awake. So technically, you saved my life!

Hahha it was my pleasure! Glad the music kept you awake and helped you get to your destination safely! Hope everything is going well for you :)

Book Oasis: 5 Ways to Make More Time to Read

“I don’t have time to read.”

When I tell people about my blog, that’s one of the comments I usually hear in response. The implication—or at least the way my possibly oversensitive mind takes it—“You must not have any life to read that many books … loser.”

Of course, I exaggerate. But,…

I used to read all the time and check out books at the library like crazy. What happened? Facebook and tumblr happened :(

Roasted Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese Croutons

For the past few weeks I’ve been cracking tomato bisque and a grilled cheese sandwich. Something about the cold weather makes this seem so comforting. And putting grilled cheese INTO the soup? Now that’s innovation.

First Official Day of Marathon Training!

I ran for the first time in over 2 months and it felt wonderful! After finishing my 2-month Insanity program last week, it was nice to do something different and break free from my routine. I ran ~3 miles with Nghiem today and have more 3-mile runs lined up this week. And on Saturday is the big 6-miler…!

Let’s do thisssss!

Aww this is such a cute concept! But it could prove to be a tad bit dangerous.
