Jenn Lungs is Famous!!

On a side note, I just found out that our very own Jenn Lungs, Crazy Jenn, Jennitals is FAMOUS! She is featured in a recent book called Born to Run: The Rise of Ultra-Running and the Super-Athlete Tribe.

Jenn who - get this - just broke the WORLD RECORD for 100 Mile marathons is featured prominently in the book's synopsis copied below:

"This book contains a true adventure story about ultra-runners (including the author) - those who pride themselves on racing up to 100 miles, often in bare feet, with almost no food or water... Travelling to labs at Harvard, Nike, and elsewhere, he comes across an incredible cast of characters, including the woman who recently broke the world record for 100 miles and for her encore ran a 2:50 marathon in a bikini, pausing to down a beer at mile 20[b]. "

I am sooo proud. GO JENN!

love,
Cristina

If I had one word for Vietnam...

It would surely be: MOTO. Motos, motos, motos. That is all you see in this place! I am telling you it's like a swarm of beetles. And not just one person to a moto, 2, 3 , and sometimes 4 people on one moto. Babies too! It's madness.

So we have landed in Vietnam. And man oh man is it wonderful. The people are so kind and the food. Jesus cristo! It's delicious. Lime, basil, lemongrass, cilantro, they use all the spices in the book and in the perfect order. Too bad, as my luck would have it, my body has decided to reject food, exactly when the world is offering me its best. Family dinners with the Hurley's? The best food and drink you can imagine? Awesome stomach. Great time to set everything I eat on fire. Loving it. Thanks.

More to come!

love,
Cristina
