Travel Tales: 10K at Angkor Wat
http://ejsje.blogspot.com/2011/03/10k-at-angkor-wat.html
Ordinary life in extraordinary places. Currently: Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Friday, March 25, 2011. 10K at Angkor Wat. My friends talked me into running with them at 5:00 in the morning three days a week. Next thing I knew I was doing "long runs" on the weekend and signing up for my first 10K. Pretty awesome feeling to cross that finish line with people cheering you on all around. Of course the location of the run added to the magic. S&E ran the 3K Family Fun Run and are proud of their accomplishment!
