News from Phuket

We have been in Phuket for a few days and today we are stuck inside due to some rain. The big news of the day is that today we won the Fun Run associated with the Phuket Triathlon. We tried to enter the triathlon last minute because there were several cancellations and there would have been a chance to win some money if we could have found bikes. Unfortunately, there weren't any bikes available so we had to resign ourselves to do the 6k Fun Run. When signing up there was an option to enter into the 'pro' division of the Fun Run. It is a bit of an oddity to have a pro division in a race called a fun run but that is how Lars thought we should sign up. I think it was my first running race that I have won since the 5th grade Turkey Trot when I was the only girl racing. It was nice to be in the low stress race and I think we would both benefit from doing more hard run efforts like that throughout the winter. Lars' Mom and Dad also ran in the Fun Run and my parents were in charge of taking photos and cheering.

We are getting nice and tan and having a very relaxing vacation. We got some elephant kisses after the run from one of the baby elephants they have walking around the resorts.
