Most people who know me know that I love sports. I played soccer for 8 years, field hockey for 2, and love to play baseball, tennis, volleyball--basically anything that involves people and energy. But I've never been really big on running. I do it sometimes to try to stay healthy, but I wouldn't say I'm a X-country runner.
But thanks to my new friend Candice who is also living here for 6 months, I am proud to say that I ran in my first official race! It was a 5K here in the city.. and oh yea, it was at night!

| there we are! |
Hmm.. did I also forget to mention that they did not rope off the streets for the race?? Cause they didn't.....
 |
| notice all the trafic still driving normally... BAHHAA |
Because of this, Candice and I were laughing for the first 30 seconds of the race, as we weaved our way through tricycles and motorcycles... It was pretty hilarious!
 |
| still looking good.. this was only a few minutes in. |
 |
| wow. |
 |
| We did it! |
We finished in under 30 minutes, and only walked for about 20 seconds. I must say, night running in a night race in Asia was an excellent choice--and an experience I won't quickly forget.
Here are some of our friends who came to cheer us on! Thanks guys!
One down... ?? to go!
