It really was a fun experience, especially starting and finishing at the Olympic Stadium. I ran a few 10 and 12 kilometer races while living in Japan in 2001 and 2002, but I hadn&#8217;t participated in a &#8220;marathon&#8221; since then.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Chuck has continued running and recently completed a half marathon. Unfortunately, I hurt my ankle soon after and haven&#8217;t run much since then. I have, however, still been exercising\u00a0harder than ever and my ankle should be OK to try another 10km &#8220;marathon&#8221; in the spring of 2010.\u00a0Thanks Chuck for helping inspire me to get in shape and congrats on the half marathon! Also, a big thank you to Eun-shil for filming the day. You did a great job!<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t recognize the music, it is John Williams&#8217; &#8220;Olympic Fanfare &amp; Theme&#8221;, which was written for the 1984 L.A. Olympic Games. I was lucky enough to see John Williams perform it in concert in London in 1998, and it sounded incredible!<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/NAvJM0PXnGM&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\"><\/embed><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last June, I took part in the Dokdo Marathon at Jamsil Stadium with my friend, Chuck.
