Well it's five in the morning and I'm awake so I can catch a train to this weekend's hike. I think this is proof that I've been able to nail my goal of finding a new way to exercise. Today's hike is all rope work(I'm worried), and I bought new hiking boots for the occasion. The hiking club I've joined is my favorite thing about Korea. I always loved climbing the rocks at the beach when I was little and I still get excited about scrambling around rock faces now.
I've also rediscovered a passion for running. I know what you're thinking:How can anyone be passionate about running? Well it's kind of like medatition for me, I can't think of anything more relaxing than a good long run, it just puts things in perspective. Dave, Callie(another new friend) and I have signed up for the Seoul half marathon in June and I'm up to a sixteen Km training run. I suspect my time will be brutal, but there's another half marathon in October and I'll tain harder and smarter for that one. Somehow during school I forgot how awesome it feels to be in shape, I love how healthy and wholesome Korea's made me feel.
