I AM bending as far as I can
Did yoga today. Now I'm running in the evenings around 10 or 11, and yoga-ing MWF morning's at 10. Works out pretty well. Evenings are much cooler, plus I'm a night person, and I run quite a bit farther and faster. Yoga seems like it will be a nice start to the day mentally. Physically, I can't touch my toes or keep my leg straight in many poses, but other than that these intro classes don't seem too bad, maybe even too simplistic. I assume I will get more out of it as time goes on.
Incidentally, the yoga instructor, who was very supportive and understanding, never gave me reason for the title of this post. That honor goes to the various school nurses, gym instructors, coaches of my childhood. Thanks for being so helpful. :P

Funny story for the day
What did your family do when your wagon became stuck in the mud?
(Colleen) We pushed it out.
What did you do when you saw a buffalo for the first time?
(Colleen) We caught the buffalo.
What did you do for fun?
(Susan) We threw the buffalo into the ocean for fun.
It's a lot funnier when you know how dull sentence writing in class can get.

Daecheon Dam Marathon
Some pics from the marathon Sunday...
It went well. I finished somewhere in the top 25% I think. I didn't catch my time, but met my goal of never stopping to walk. The next event is in Seoul in March, and I may upgrade to a 10K. I doubt I'll get more serious than that, but, with all the kids and walkers, the 5K was maybe a bit too casual.

Nachos and Aussie Rules
Quick post: Last week was long with monthly tests and such. Today I've got to scramble to finish grading, and finish my upcoming monthly syllabus. Also, we're supposed to do something fun today with the kids, so I've got to figure that out. Anyway, around 9:00PM it'll all be over, and JJ and I will be on our way to Hong Kong. Thank goodness. I need a break.
We did have some fun this weekend. Friday, being still sick, I went to bed early, but enjoyed being an off-and-on relay man of text messages from all my friends who were out until about 2:00AM. We then went to a ginseng fair Saturday outside of the city. It was exactly like it sounds - a lot of ginseng all over the place. Obviously, the the only reason for the town's existence. Saturday night we went to a few different places, and ended up having a good time at my favorite bar...which I now, after five months, know serves NACHOS (why didn't somebody tell me!). Sunday, because of Dingo, we watched Aussie rules (Australian football) finals at Keith's place. This itself deserves a little more explication, but I don't have the time.
Unfortunately, I didn't run Saturday and Sunday, but I did have a good run Friday. Today, I was sucking though. Then again, I'm not yet over this cold, so at least I was out there. Two weeks to the marathon. Hopefully, there will be some nice paths in Hong Kong.
That's it for now.
Incidentally, if you don't keep up with Joe's blog, and for those of you who know me, you may find this kind of funny: http://recklessegghead.blogspot.com/2006/09/gerken.html.
