New Challenge: Korean Comic

My new challenge is to make 30 comics in Korean in 30 days. It's a way to practice my Korean, and also do something creative. I started yesterday.

The title is "재밌는 원어민 이야기" (Fun foreign teacher tales). Hopefully it'll also be a good way to record some of my stories of the last two years, before they all just disappear. I'll post some of them here with translations. I'm also going to try to find a Korean site, probably naver.com, where I can post them for a Korean audience.

Failed challenge: 300k in one month

This was a bigger challenge than I realized. On paper, a 10k run every day doesn't seem too bad. But during the challenge, you realize that if you skip one of those days, and then you have to absorb that 10k somewhere else.

I ended up skipping too many days in the beginning to catch up. Some days were really cold or raining, and other days I was worried about overworking my knees and feet.

The challenge did get me running on days I ordinarily would have just skipped, so that part was pretty good. I'll try this again when the weather gets a little better.
