Ready to Race

Hi, I am fairly new to Korea (3 months in), and I am looking to find some races to compete in. I prefer 5ks or 10ks for now, and eventually, I want to work my way up to a half marathon. I have searched all over the web for races in Seoul, but I haven't been able to find any. Anyone know of a good website or just race days that are coming up?

Trying to get back

I haven't been running much over the last few months. I have lived in three countries in the last 4 months, in 6 different locations, so finding a rhythm has been tricky. The air pollution in Seoul hasn't been great, either, but I am adapting. I am looking forward to getting another marathon notch this year, so I have to get my butt in gear! Any advice about running in Seoul would be awesome. Look forward to meeting some fellow runners, once I feel okay counting myself in that category again!

I live in Mokdong and work as an English teacher in the afternoons so I am free anytime during the mornings in the week and on the weekends.

Also, does anyone know when regi… Continue

My wife and I just got Garmin 405s. I have had it for about 3 weeks now. It has been pretty good and I would rate it at about 8/10. Problems: sometimes data doesn't transfer so well between the watch and the computer, there are icons which I canno...

Charis! So I think I am signed up for the 10/2, and I plan on going to an atm tonight to transfer the funds. I left the paper I had with the bank info on it at home, so I will send that to you tonight. The DMZ run I also sent an e-mail to that add...

Would you be interested in running up Namsan Tower this Saturday? We could do a late afternoon run if you are up for it. Rebecca and I had discussed it a few weeks ago. Let me know!
