Epic

It's evocative, isn't it..

You could call it a bucket list, but I'm not fond of the term myself, as it implies I'm about to depart this little blue marble that floats in space.  You could refer to what I've tried to do every couple years as a mid-life crisis, though it's been going on for so long now, that you'd think I'd be out of it by now. You might look at it as I choose to do - spend your days experiencing and exploring all the world has to offer, and don't ever pass up a chance to do something epic.

So in about a week, I get to depart on 3 flights over 30 hours and visit Cambodia and Angkor.  It's a UNESCO world heritage site, and widely known for being quite special.  For me, it ranks up there with Easter Island, the Pyramids, Machu Picchu, Kilimanjaro and Stonehenge.  But my trek is actually aimed at self development too, and I plan to run a half marathon race thru the temples being held on Dec. 7th.  Stunning scenery, huge amounts of history, an exotic land, and a chance to push myself to compete.  A match made in heaven.

I'll try to capture some highlights, so you can ride along vicariously with me.  I do warn you though, about 16kms into the run (in very hot weather), you may have to carry me a while.  I promise to return the favour though.
