My other pastime

After getting back into a regular work routine, I'm now focusing on getting back to a regular running routine. I'm planning on running the half marathon in Chiang Mai again this year. I don't officially start training for it until October but I want to be well into a routine by then. I ran 4 miles Sunday morning. The sun was strong even at 8am but I pounded through it and had a great run.

Later on I was on the bus heading to my meeting and noticed a couple signing to each other. I said hello and the man responded. After talking for a few minutes I realized that the lady with him was mostly blind, she can see a little out of one eye but not enough to know that I was a foreigner. I noticed his shirt had a picture of 2 runners in a race and asked him about it. He said it was the 2 of them finishing a 10k together. Wow! I'm not sure how often they run races but he knew about the race in Chiang Mai. He even knew the exact date for this year. I sure was glad I had run that morning! I'm sure they'll be crossing my mind each time I run, how inspiring!
