Changwon Tongil Marathon/half/10k/5k

Hey, I'm new here as well as a fairly new runner. Just wondering if anyone is going to be at the Changwon Tongil marathon running in any of the races. I'm running in the 5k, trying to get a new PR and was wondering if anyone else is going. Website is here: http://tongilmarathon.org

I'm slowly building up to be able to do what you accomplished on November 28! Congratulations on completing the marathon! I ran the 5k and PRed at 33:03. My last 5k when I was 45 pounds heavier was 43 minutes, so I'm thrilled and excited to see how much more I can shave off when the last 35 pounds come off.; ▶ Reply to This

Pretty slow and I think I only beat one old guy and his mother. ;-) My target was something under 5 hours but I have had problems with ITBS lately. Still, I beat Katie Holmes!; ▶ Reply to This

My fiance is dealing with that some too, but we're hoping that if he can get fitted for a decent shoe in February that will help some. Sounds like a good time for your first marathon! I'm going to be lucky to finish one in under 6 hours at the speed I run :o) That's why I just want to finish one!; ▶ Reply to This
