People crawl out of hibernation and litter the streets with smiles and a chance to soak up the warmth.
Given the beautiful weather, the health-conscious country that is South Korea celebrates the beautiful weather with self-induced torture (at least I think so)... marathons.
I went to my first Korean marathon last weekend--it wasn't a full marathon but a half, 10K, and 5K.
What I love is that races in Korea are to be shared by the young, old and everyone in-between.
Diego ran the 10K. I exercised my photography skills on the sidelines.
Half marathon runners
Giving each other good luck backrubs.
10K runners. And some famous guy in a sweat suit.
And they're off!
So many families running together.
5K runners
I loved this man!
Families
Even strollers
Beautiful scenery
Go Diego, go!
After race, kimchi and tofu... of course.
It was Diego's birthday. He finished his first 10K in 50 minutes.
Maybe I'll work my way up to running one of these... maybe.
