Seoul Marathon

Ran my first 1/2 marathon today. Took it slow, but ran the whole way. But, ya, that's a long run.

There were 10,000 people running in either the marathon (42k), 1/2 marathon (21k), 10k, or 5k. There were 500 foreigners (Japanese, American...) running as well. The marathon was along the Han River, which divides Seoul in half. It was at the park that's right below the 63 Building. Having been in other triathlons & duathlons, I found this race to be so well organized (I guess you have to be with 10,000 people) - Craig and I just loved walking around before the race and watching all the different people prepare. That alone was worth waking up at 7am on a Sunday for.

Here's Craig's photos and commentary of the race.

Craig also took a short video clip of the Koreans warming up before the race. May take a few minutes to upload.
