About Me


I’m a 34yr old Korean American living in Houston. When I’m not working, I paddle with my dragon boat team, run with the (fabulous) Houston Striders, drink soju and dream of living in Seoul as an expat. I’m currently training for the 2007 NYC Marathon and the 2008 Houston Marathon. I’m not a fast runner at all, and you can usually find me near the back of the pack….but what I lack in speed, I make up with persistence and perseverence! I’ve resurrected this blog to document my training process and keep me committed - hopefully, it’ll motivate someone else out there too.
