Chombueng bound
I’ve decided that I’ll be going to Chombueng (จอมบึง) marathon, in Ratchaburi province, on 15 Jan 2012. With less than a month to go, I’m not sure how I’ll do in the marathon distance. I did a 20 km run last week and it was punishing my feet. Hope that the taper will help freshen up my body.
Just booked a room yesterday. It’s difficult to find, as the few places they have seem to be full already.
chom bueng marathon 2012
This is one of the oldest marathon events in Thailand. Born in 1986, it is known for its laid-back but cheerful crowd. January weather should be kind enough to run. Start time is 4 am.
42.195 km, we will meet again.

Hi Rop,
I am leaving for Bangkok tomorrow. I plan to run the 10k race on the 31st, so if you run it maybe we can meet there. Otherwise if you will be around during the first week of January, maybe we can meet for a run or dinner. I am planning to have dinner with another runner from Tokyo and my family on Jan. 2nd so that might be a good time. If you will be around, send me an email and let me know how to contact you.
