7000 miles from home...

This Sunday will mark the half way point of my Korean excursion. I'm excited to come home.

A lot will change once I'm back. Jon and Jamie are moving back to Maryland, I'm moving into my new place downtown and will be forced with the task of outfitting the space with furniture (which is a little daunting since I've actually never owned any) and I'm going to have a go at not owning a vehicle for a while. Interesting challenges await for sure!

Speaking of challenges, I've registered for my first running race since high school. This fall (September 11 specifically), I'll be running Imogene. The race takes place on Imogene pass which connects Ouray to Telluride in southwestern Colorado. What makes this race special, or brutal in some eyes, is the fact that it begins at 7800 ft and climbs to its highest point at 13,114 before descending back down into more oxygen dense air on the passes opposite side, all in a magnificent 17 miles.

Wish me luck. Wish me motivation. I miss my family.

Friends are family, in case anyone was feeling slighted.

  1. Oh man, you're like me: 5-6 months between posts, hee! I can't believe you're halfway thru already! Kudos to you for committing to this adventure and to committing to a car-free lifestyle when you return.
