when i was here in bangkok the first time in 2008, i ran the bangkok quarter marathon (10K) with my friend leslie. it was a lovely, quick run through a beautiful part of the city, including crossing two bridges over the chao praya river.
after i decided to come back to thailand, i knew i had to do run this race again. on sunday, i ran with jess. to my surprise, i had the same crew of cheerleaders as in 2008: the hua hin nature preserve. they ran as a pack and never stopped cheering. they helped me conquer my sprained ankle and keep running during the second half of the race. if i'm in bangkok for another november, i hope i will be lucky enough to hear "hua hin huh! hua hin huh!" coming up behind me for another road race.
