Charis! Were you able to confirm yet about the DMZ race? We phoned this number to confirm: 02-723-1666. They can let you know if you are all set for it. Also I definitely paid for the half marathon, but I no longer have the website or ANY other in...

Charis! How was your weekend? So I actually ended up e-mailing the girl that Chuck told us about on facebook. She is really kind, and has already told me that she will save a seat for me on the bus. She's going to let me know the details when she ...

So one of my Korean friends at work phoned the people who are heading up the DMZ race. They said you can take a free shuttle bus from Jamsil, which I'm going to do. Let me know if you're interested.

Ready to Race

Hi, I am fairly new to Korea (9 months in), and I am looking to find some races to compete in. I've competed in 5ks, 10ks, and a half marathon, and now I am training for my first marathon! I have searched all over the web for races in Seoul, but I haven't been able to find many. Anyone know of a good website or just race days that are coming up? Also I would really love to find a running partner. I run about 3 or 4 days a week and usually run between 4-7 miles. Anybody interested? I live in Daec… Continue

I tried to email the group that has the bus to the DMZ and I left a comment on their FB page but no one has gotten back to me. How did you get in touch with them? I'm finally officially signed up for the thing... took forever. They are kinda disorganized :S I KNEW I paid correctly~!

At 5:36am on August 5, 2009, Charis Cook said…: Yo, lady! Thank god for my overpriced gym... with this heat, humidity, pollution, and crazy schedule, I'm really happy to have an air-conditioned guaranteed run plus weight training. I neglected that in my other 2 halfies, so I hope this will help me reach my sub 2:00 goal!! Sooo excited! The website for the half-marathon is http://nanoria.net/ by the way. Let me know when you find anything out. I'm soooo pumped!!

At 9:01pm on August 3, 2009, Charis Cook said…: Hey Alana!! How are you?? I've been so crazy busy lately with work. It's killing me! I feel like a retard, but I still don't understand how I can pay for my DMZ and half-marathon races!! Do I do it at like an ATM??

At 12:13am on July 20, 2009, Rebecca Hatton said…: Tomorrow at 9 sounds good. Jamsil exit 2??

At 6:16am on July 17, 2009, Charis Cook said…: This might sound like a totally dumb question, but how do I transfer money to pay for the half and DMZ runs?? Do I have to go to my bank?? I just joined a gym and I have a feeling they screwed me... I thought it would be 150,000 KRW for 3 months, but I paid 406,000 KRW. I'm having my friend look into it for me and I might raise hell. I love the gym, but I feel like they signed me up for like the VIP membership or something. That's just way to expensive, even for Daechi. It was soooo good to hit the weights today though. I'm pumped about the race!!

I am soo sorry I have not wrote you sooner. I was away this weekend and everything has been crazy busy. How are you doing? It seems like it has been a long time. We should plan a run soon...maybe next Tuesday? Let me know what you think!!

At 8:29pm on July 13, 2009, Charis Cook said…: Hey Alana :) How are you doing?? Grrrr, this rain is totally ruining my training! Do you run even when it's pouring outside? If not, do you belong to a gym around here? I'm joining Human Active across from Lotte Dept Store tomorrow or Thursday (after pay day!). Anyway, just seeing how you're doing :)

At 3:01am on July 11, 2009, Charis Cook said…: You read my email right??? That I had to work today and that's why I couldn't run? I JUST got home from work. For some reason I couldn't get on this site at work. I hope you don't think I stood you up or something!!

At 6:06pm on July 8, 2009, Charis Cook said…: Yup, I'm signed up for the DMZ run. I emailed that address Anina discovered and they emailed me back this morning with the bank information. Can you give me the bank info for the 10/2. I have a kinda strange question... when you run in areas far away from home, do you just take the subway all sweaty or do you take a cab home? How are you getting to Namsan? That sounds great to me... I hope I don't slow you guys down!

At 4:48am on July 8, 2009, Charis Cook said…: Okay, I'm pretty sure I signed up for the 10/2 competitive half, but still no word on how I pay. I need your info to sign you up... address, alien #, phone #, email address, and whether you want dried seaweed or sunglasses as a prize (I'm not even kidding, haha)!
