Miles: 0
Time: 0
Ok. I admit it. I am fair weather runner. I don't like the cold. I don't like the rain. And since everyone around me keeps telling me what an old man I am, I figure I don't have to put up with the hassle. So--the third week into training and I am off schedule because I am too much of a wouuse (sp?) to hit the streets when it's this cold. My excuse is, I don't have anything warm enough to run in. Not much of an excuse, but I'll go with it! So now you know. Of course, The cold is something I come in from.
The cold for over 12,000 homeless in Seoul is something they will endure tonight and every night. And some won't survive. The economy in Korea is in critical condition, like many areas of the world. Poverty lays side by side enormous wealth and extravagance. Folks who pushed food away from a restaurant table where the liquor tab alone exceed 1,000,000 Won, rush pass others who will not eat tonight, will not feed their children, will not ride in the warm taxi waiting, but will curl up at the dark edges of the train stations, unseen. Will my running make a difference? How do we care? How do we bring about change?
