The first weekend in December Michael and I traveled to Cambodia to do some sight seeing and run the International 1/2 marathon in Siem Reap around Ankor Wat. The weather and scenery were perfect! Many people came out to cheer us on. This was the first marathon for Michael and the first time that we ran together. We spent 3 nights and 4 days there.
We saw the school that Pol Pot occupied in the 70's. I sat next to a woman on the plane who was returning for the first time in over 30 years to visit her only living sister. EVeryone else in her family was killed. There is very much a sadness lingering there.
After our run we celebrated with pizza and red wine. I felt no guilt indulging after running for 2 hours that morning! We hope to run another one somewhere else in Asia next year.
