Runnin' the 10k

In a mere two days, I'll be running in my first race ever, the Adidas Hangang Marathon! I'm not doing the marathon (bitch, please) but the 10K. I'm still super excited, super nervous, and super scared. My training has dropped off a bit because of knee pain but I'll finish.

(My deepest fear is that I'll have to get a ride with the pace car but hopefully it won't come to that!)

I've been thinking about training for a half marathon. There's one every year near the South-North Korea DMZ. That would be pretty damn cool.

Change in summer travel plans. I'm going to wait to go to Norway with my mom in a couple years and instead I'll worth through the summer and just have the one week off when the school goes on holiday. I'll use that time to climb Mt. Fuji (one of my things to do before I die) and visit friends in Osaka. At the end of my contract in February, I'll go to India for a couple months to visit the places I haven't been yet before heading back to Seattle. I like this change a lot and I'm quite excited.
