Motigating

The list of running participants in the Chiang Mai race is growing. K from Japan started running about a year ago and is really getting into it. She decided to run the 10k in Chiang Mai. This is her first race!! K who is here from NY is also going to run the 10k. A, who was just here from Malaysia is coming back and running the 10k. All those are in addition to C and I who are already signed up for the half marathon. So there are now 5 of us running! We should start a SE Asia running team! Any suggestions for a team name?

So running has been good so far this week. It feels great to be adding the miles on! This is actually the best time of year here to be running. The "cold" season has just started. Thais have their jackets out. In the morning it's usually in the low 70s (brrrr!) So running has been really comfortable. The great thing about living in Thailand is the availability of massages! I plan on taking advantage of this during the training period. I got a Thai massage last week and plan on getting one every other week. It's really great for my legs of course and also for stretching. They fold you like a pretzel...it's great for stretching!
