Ok I didn’t run a marathon, but that’s what the race was called so that’s what this blog is called. BUT, I did run my very first 10K, and I am quite happy about it. I was sick with the killer cold during the weeks leading up to the race, so my training and preparation were basically non-existent. My time sucked and I walked a lot, but now it’ll be easy to improve on my time for the next one. The best part of the day was our Team Dirt theme of the race which was SUPERHEROES. As if we don’t already cause a scene as a bulk of loud foreigners, we decided to top it off by dressing up in ridiculous costumes. The race was over by 10am, but we stuck around the rest of the day for fun, food, and festivities. Plus somebody had to be there in the afternoon to cheer on the marathon runners as they finished their final lap. It’s all about team spirit, ya know?

Hey Chrissy! I was doing some facebook stalking and I saw you had a blog so here I am. I’m super jealous of your Korean festivities. Since you’re a runner now (I mean you ran a 10k) you should look into the marathon on the wall of China. I realize the great wall of China isn’t in Korea, but you’re in the same quarter of the world. I would totally come run it with you!
