I just got news that my aunt has passed away yesterday. It doesn’t sound like she died peacefully, which breaks my heart even more. I feel for my cousins. They’d just lost their dad the year before. I’m grateful that I was able to see her and visit his site late last year on their home turf (CAN).

Just tweeted to the airlines about an air ticket to Toronto. Jetblue was the first one to DM me back. Thanks, Jetblue! Although you don’t have flights that go directly to CAN, you offered a couple other suggestions.

It seems that bereavement airfare isn’t always the cheapest ticket around. Huh. Go figure.

I await further instructions from the elders in my family.

Any suggestions are much appreciated.

As you may know, I completed my first Half Marathon back in October. I was on such a high, I decided to sign up for a second Half Marathon!

(High on fumes, that is. What am I doing!)

Well, seeing that there is no refund on registering for the Surf City Half/Marathon, I’m “forced” to train. If you’ve been following me on Twitter, you’ll see that I have barely kept a regular training schedule. This is not good.

I signed up on dailymile.com via @anotorias’s tweet, hoping that I would miraculously start running every other day again. Um. No, that has not happened. But dailymile.com seems to be a pretty good platform for exercisers. It also connects to your FB, if you like.
