Busy Bee!!

I have been quite busy the last 1.5 weeks!! Last week at school I began my spring camp for the soccer team. The camp lasts for 2 weeks during the spring break (feb 14-25). Last week we focused on greetings, learning about England (where soccer originated) other sports, and foods around the world. This week we are focusing on numbers and learning to negotiate in English. The boys are all managers of soccer teams, we learned background and history of the teams, trade players, and Friday we use dice to determine what team will win! They seem to really like it so far!! I also found out some details about the coming school year; how many classes I will have, when I will have class, and received the books so I can begin lesson planning. Very busy at school!


I have begun my quest for a road bike, I found one this morning that is a fair price (maybe a bit on the expensive side), but worth checking out! I should arrange to see it this weekend and maybe bring it home if I like it! 


I have my 2nd race coming up this weekend, Sunday! It's a 10k race. I am not 100% ready for it, but I know I will complete the race. I signed up for another one that is in March 27th. These races are all helping me stay on track with training and get ready for my 1/2 marathon in April!! I am still looking for a good marathon to do, the target date is June. I should do my first Triathlon of the year in May! I have a lot of swimming and biking to do in prep!! 


This past Thursday, I joined a yoga studio! I got a very good deal, pay for 3 months get 1 month free, plus got a discount for paying in cash! I have been to the Bikram Hot yoga class 2 times and Power Yoga 1 time so far! I am able to go up to 3 times a week, and M-F they offer 3 classes per evening. The hot yoga should help with my lung capacity, and the yoga will help with my stretching!! I'm very excited to see how this will help my running/biking/swimming. :)


This past weekend I went out skiing!! I went with a group of 6 people, to a place called High 1 resort. It is Korea's newest resort, built last year. It was a 3 hour bus ride east of Seoul. At the top of the mountain we were at 2,800meters! The resort was built at about 1600M up, the longest run was about 1,800m (many of them were quite curvy). Since the last time I went skiing ended with a broken collar bone, I was a bit nervous to get on the slopes again. I would like to say after a few runs I was skiing like I used to, but that was not the case, I think it will take a few more ski trips for me to be back to usual. The views were stunning, from atop the mt, you could look out and see miles of mountains in all directions. This plus our recent heat wave are making me anxious for hiking!!


The weather this week has been worth mentioning, I really hope the warming trend continues, but who knows if it will! This week our highs have been 10-15C and over night lows about 1-2C.
