I participated in my first running event in years. I wasn't up for the full marathon, but did run the 1/2 marathon (13.1 miles). It was very fun and makes me want to run more distance events...maybe even a marathon. My time was so slow compared to when I was at my peak which is depressing, but it felt very good and I just need to accept the fact that I am getting older (ugghhh!). My time was only 2 minutes over my goal, so I am pretty happy about that.
The event was the 3rd international event sponsored by the Japanese Embassy out at Lake Issy-Kul. Beautiful course that had nice gently ups and downs. A few people from the Embassy went, but we all ran different distances. I even got Otto to run the 5K and as much as he complained about it, in the end he said he had fun and would consider doing one in the future. I have a couple of photos...Otto refused to let me take his picture. I also didn't carry my camera with me during the run, so no photos of the course that ran along the lake...
