A Vietnam Run

9:00pm.... 91 degrees.

Just put your tennies on, Kelsey.

Surely 91 degrees is an unsafe temperature to run in.  

I'll just go tomorrow.

Check the weather report.  More 91 degrees for tomorrow.  

If you're a runner, you know the magic of that crucial step in suiting up.  If the shorts and tennies aren't on, there's still hope for backing out.    

This blog post isn't meant to be a humble brag.  I've enjoyed quite a bit of laziness here.  Compared to my schedule in the states, life in Vietnam has been full of available, unfulfilled running time.  This is actually the first time in months that I've felt the desire to pour out some thoughts and experiences. I haven't felt a lot of newness to report but during my runs, I see a different side of Vietnam that I will surely miss in the coming geo-transition.  

It's 9:00pm.  My mom, who inspires me in many aspects of my life, whispers in my ear that I should just go put my tennies on and see how I feel.  I do it.  Ok I'm ready.
