Seoul International Marathon, Troy's wedding
We started training today. In the rain. At 9am. But it felt good to get out and run and we did an easy 4 miles. Just add 22 to that and we'll be ready to race! haha. I found out that there's also an Ulsan marathon, which is being held on March 1, so we'll run half of that for training 17 days before the one in Seoul. I've gathered a group of supporters who will come up with us for the weekend (St. Patty's day weekend!!! No Guinness or green beer for us this year) and cheer us on.
Running 4 miles an hour before Hapkido is not, however, quite nice. Vicky and I were definitely feeling the difference in energy level and motivation in class today, but hopefully as we get more and more fit we'll be able to do both with ease. This week we are running 4 days, and we have the weekend off. woo!
One of the reasons we aren't running this weekend is that our good buddy Troy who runs Bench is getting MARRIED!! And I was shocked and delighted to receive an invitation, along with Lee, Hazel, Kate and Lindsay. So now that age-old question arises: What do I wear?! Clearly this means I have to go shopping, but what will I find in Korea? This could be interesting... photos will certainly follow.
It's time to babysit the middle schoolers now - they are having rigorous testing this week and last at their regular schools, so I'm not allowed to teach. Just sit. Thanks to this rule, I finished The Alchemist last week and am onto The Valkyries tonight.
Cheers!

The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho? Quite possibly my fav of all time. 'Specially the audiobook version where Jeremy Irons does the reading. It's pretty amazing.
What??? I don't get it
Whoa... no Guinness or green beer on St. Patty's day? I do believe that qualifies as blasphemy!
