You live in Bangbae dong? That is pretty close to me in Heukseok-dong. Are you interested in doing any runs together on Sunday mornings? My wife and I just joined this site and are looking for some running buddies.

Friday was the first day that I could make it through 5 miles without intense pain and like a moron I went out and ran 11 miles the next day so I think I am basically at stage 1 again. My knee is killing me again. Oh well, it'll eventually heal and we can pound out some long runs this summer.

Great news! I have a goal and will do Jeonju 48 hour in May to qualify and then get ready for Oct. ...I need a goal!

Thanks and I'll be working on the Race calendar in the coming weeks.

This weekend I was up near Gapyeong. At a moonie complex/hotel. Delivering lots of workshops to teachers training for their TEFL certificate. I'm tired! And so cold...but it will prepare me for my trip to canada next week. Cheers,

David

I bet you had a wonderful week-end.
Finally I got races list for 2008. These are for the ultra Distance runnings here in Korea. I will work on to convertthem into English for you this week. I will keep in touch on this regards. One thing,
we will host 24h World Challenge here in Korea during October, most probably the 26th. When I was in Houston Texas last Dec. I had a lengthy discussion with Dirk, Pres. of IAU, and I foresee no big problem at all our side. Thanks

At 6:49pm on December 27, 2007, Park, Bokjin said…: Hi, David !
I do hope you have spent beautiful Christmas Holidays and I do also hope the best of the best in 2008 ! If my memory was correct, you were supposed to fly back to Cananada some time during January, together with Jihae. Are you in Canada at this moment or in Seoul yet preparing the trip? As said earlier, I went to Houston Texas early December as a head of Korean Ultra marathon delegation. After this race I and my wife Younghee spent one full week traveling the West e.g., Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, San Francisco etc.. Good thing was, I ran cross the Golden Gate Bride the day I was flying back to Kora. It was a thrilling experience, as the gate was closed by that time I got there( before the dawn ) and I persuaded the Bridge guards to open exceptionally for me . On my way back to hotel Hilton San Francisco, I was lost and I asked the police officer to take me to my hotel and she allowed me to hop on the back of the police petrol car !!! Happy New Year !!!

Being a footwear guy, it is always good to hear from our customers that my shoes were great. Thanks. My shoes are even better, as price is half of those Nike, New Balance, Asics or such , while quality is more or less the same. My website is www.ohmyshoe.com and shoes brand is faab, a short form of free as a bird. Thanks again. Regarding our conversation at your flat last week-end, Please tell your friends if anyone of them is interested in running 100km races. I might be able to extend my hands for a ride, or maybe free bib number depending on the race director whom I know.

Thanks for showing me the neat run as well as going back with me to try to find my cell phone. Luckily, someone picked up the phone around Sadang station, exit 3. I must've dropped it right as we started the run. If I can get over this cold before I leave, I hope to go for another run in the mountain.

That's great! I would love a little guided tour one day up there - I'll spring for the beverages after! Maybe just into the new year - we are in a bit of upheaval (moving homes) and have a holiday in Kyoto planned for December, but January should see us settled nicely somewhere in the Gangnam area.
I saw your thread about the potluck. Sorry I'll have to miss that because of some previous commitments. It would be nice to meet the people from here in person.
Take care.

At 9:45pm on October 17, 2007, Eric said…: hey thanks for the help. i went to the doctor's today because of some lower back pain and i think i've developed a mild case of PF.

irritating because i think it could have been avoided if i had the proper orthotics and a well fitting running shoe (i'm getting mixed advice from doctors and running specialists), which i'm having some trouble finding in korea at the moment.

anyways, hope to see you on a run in the near future. i hooked up with juergen for a track workout and it was good fun. still gotta find a partner for a longer run and a hill one. take care and rest up plenty and exercise safe!

At 5:09pm on September 18, 2007, JM Ferguson said…: Thanks for the welcome. I'm always in search of partners for the track. Do you guys have a training group?

At 6:41pm on September 12, 2007, Crystal said…: Hey Dave,
Thanks for the reply. I was wondering if anyone from our group might be going to Chuncheon on the Saturday before....Have you heard anything about that?

At 2:35am on September 11, 2007, Mark Rapacz said…: Yo Dave,

I'm in for the Yongsan 10k on the base. I think Emily will be too.

I think I'm supposed to let you know. See you then at 8:45.

Looking in the race calendar, it seems to be lots of races here in Korea. My problem is that all the info is in korean and I don't know it at all yet. I also understand that here, you have to register quite some time in advance.
Do you know have any link to some Korean race calendar in English?

Running Regards
Perove

At 7:51pm on September 6, 2007, cmdoll said…: So is that a yes or no? If you want company on your birthday run just tell me where and when.

At 3:48pm on September 6, 2007, Marc Tillotson said…: Thanks David,

I'm just getting back into training after a few months off school and travelling in SE Asia.

I was at the track yesterday morning and the Korean 100km champ, a guy who works for the DSME shipyard asked me for a race! I was in the middle of some 300 reps so he just joined me for one!

Hopefully I'll see you up in Seoul again for a race or a drink.

Cheers
Marc

I love this website it's a great forum. Sorry to say that I'm no longer in the ROK, currently I'm in Charlottesville, VA, but I'm heading to Hawaii. Great running with you, my goal is to run Donga and Chunchon next year.
Take care,
Mario

At 7:29pm on September 5, 2007, Crystal said…: Hey David! I'm all over this new website. I remember you telling us about it that one morning at brunch. Great site! I hope Seoul Flyers will grow in membership, and I know this site will help that.

At 5:47pm on September 5, 2007, Perove Claesson said…: Thanx David,

good to hear that you're a XC skier. That's been mine no 1 sport too. I have done 16 Vasalopp's so far.
I'm not competetive at all any more, just enjoy the lifestyle.
Jae contacted me yesterday about the DMZ run, so let's see if it's possible. I need a long run (+20 km) first, to check my legs out. I've been to busy with other stuff since we arrived here.
Hope to see you around somewhere.
