Sutonggol (수통골)

Today, Jeff, Tracy (our new foreign teacher), and I went hiking around Sutonggol (valley) and Dodeokbong (Mt.) (도덕봉, 440m), another facet of Gyeryongsan National Park. I didn't run yesterday or today, but I think the two hours of scrambling up and down the rocks today made up for it. Will run again tomorrow. I'm registered for a 5K in three weeks. Tracy's going to run the half marathon. I don't think I'll end up anywhere near the front of my race, but I should be able to finish.

My beetle did die. I think maybe a lack of humity did it. On the other hand, a large ant moved into the terrarium. A sadder possibility is depression brought on by captivity, and lack of social interaction with other beetles (if they are even social). It might've just reached the end of its natural life-cycle too.

No funny stories today. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

ROCKY

C'mon, it's true -- But that don't bother me -- I just wanna prove somethin' -- I ain't no bum... It don't matter if I lose... Don't matter if he opens my head... The only thing I wanna do is go the distance -- That's all. Nobody's ever gone fifteen rounds with Creed. If I go them fifteen rounds, an' that bell rings an' I'm still standin', I'm gonna know then I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood...
