running update

For those of you who have been following my running life, there is an update to share. I was training for the Bangkok marathon November 27th. But a few months ago a friend told me she ran it last year and that it's a miserable marathon. Mostly because it's on pavement over the hot city for most of the way, with no fans or port-a-potties.

I kept training up to the 17 mile point, but have finally decided not to continue. I don't want to waste my knees on a sucky run. And I will be traveling, partly in India, w momma and pappa Bobruff for the month leading up to the run.

All along I was hoping to find out about a marathon I heard of that crosses the Friendship bridge to Laos for part of the run. Laos has a special place in my heart so I would love to run a race there and Thailand. But I just found out the marathon was canceled for this year.

Looks like I'll be aiming for a March 19th Marathon near Bangkok. With some little races before then.
