helping women findΒ a balance between

WORK – LIFE – FITNESS – FOOD – FUN

“Mollie is an amazing, positive motivator, just what you need when you are trying to become more active.”

“She has a perfect blend of encouragement, counseling, and a no-BS allowed attitude that makes her super effective.”

When you travel, do you make a list of all the things you want to see and experience?  I did for Japan and was abe to tick off most of them.  I even added a few that I didn't expect.
 
Japan offers many unique cultural aspects and I am grateful to have experienced them. Even the earthquake!
 
From kimonos, to onsens, to geisha, to Kabuki, I think I did pretty good at fitting so much in in less than two weeks.
 
If you enjoyed this reel.and want to support my trip to Japan, feel free to 'buy me a coffee's via the link in my bio.
 
What is on your Japanese bucket list?

Back home now and have added my #tokyomarathon2024 medal to my #worldmarathonmajors display.
 
It may look like I have completed all 6 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐s, but my #BostonMarathon medal is for a virtual race.  I am still proud of my unicorn but am also anxious to get my hands on an in-person medal. 
 
My next medal will probably be for the National Three Peaks challenge in June.  That is one I have been wanting for a while too.
 
What races and challenges do you have planned for spring?

On 8 March, 2018, along with @alicesadventuresonearth @julieffisher @jodi__weiss @vicbill and @eco_africaclimbing , I submitted Mount Kilimanjaro.  The trip was truly special, as we had female porters and guides to support us.
 
To all the women out there standing up for themselves and what they believe in, well done. For all the women and  people who identify as women making it though each day, amazing work.
 
It isn't easy, but we can do it if we support each other along the way.

I am sure you have all been waiting for this....
 
Vending machines of Japan!
 
Here are some snaps I have taken over the last week in the various places I have visited.  I would say the ones I have seen most are for cold drinks.  Smoking is not allow s on public streets anymore so cigarette machines seem rare. But not as rare as a shark tooth or gemstone vending machine!
 
I love how much ice cream seems to be a part of vending machine culture.  But that could just be one for the tourists!
 
Rumor has it, you used to be able to buy both new and used underwear in vending machines, but I haven't seen either.
 
What else did you think would be sold in a vending machine here in Japan?

Big thanks to @lululemonjp for a windy but fun shake-out run this morning.  Typically the day before a big race, such as the Tokyo Marathon, runners will run a 5k to release some energy and remember why running is fun.
 
I met people from Canada via Hong Kong, France via USA, Japan and Germany.  We only did about 2-3 km after receiving advice from a lululemon run ambassador.
 
Lululemon Japan has a cheer station at 35km.  Keep an eye out for their red flags if you are running tomorrow.
 
Are you running @tokyomarathonfoundation tomorrow?  How was your shake out?  Did you carb load? πŸ₯πŸ₯–πŸ•πŸ
