I've been having one of those springs that's so eventful I don't have time to write about it. Let's have a go...

At the end of April, I ran my first 10K and it was a great experience. I didn't have the best running time in the world but I had a ton of fun and Mary and I took roughly 5 million pictures. We wore sweat bands and knee socks and looked pretty bad ass. The race was just outside of Seoul and we came back into the city and celebrated at a local pub, shoving our medals into everyone's faces. It was fun!

Joely, my insane flatmate, left Korea to join our friends Dan and Steve in Africa. I haven't replaced him yet (huge pain in my ass) and I miss him horribly (I can say that here since I'm fairly confident he'll never read this blog). He occasionally drove me crazy but he was one of my favorite people to live with.

I just got back from a very VERY whirlwind trip to San Francisco for Freesia's wedding. It was a ton of fun and I spent way too much money shopping but it was well worth it. The wedding itself was at the SF Zoo and the dj played all the greatest hits from our high school years. The next day, while enjoying some lovely margaritas, I saw GEORGE LUCAS sitting at a table behind us. OMG!! I completely freaked out.

A day and a half after getting back, I ran another 10k. Bad idea! I was still really dehydrated and I puked along the entire length of the third kilometer but I finished and actually beat my last time by 4 minutes! Insane.

And now it's back to the grind. More updates, I promise.

Foxy, I am so proud of you for running in all of these 10k events in such style. I remember when you were on crutches for months at a time, which makes your latest endeavor all the better.

I am sad to learn that the adventures of Nicole and Joel have come to an end. Good luck finding a new roommate--sorry, flatmate.

Ok, I feel like the dork that I am. I swear, my first comment did not show up until after I republished (with some minor edits). Nothing like saying the same thing twice... Glad to see you blogging again.
