Day 141

• 3.5 miles (estimate)
• Slow
• 0510
• Guangzhou, PRC
• Fog finally lifted and I had to run prior to the hotel gym opening anyway, so out to the streets I went -- insane city, with insane Chinese smells and a fairly significant danger level.   I like running outside in strange-to-me cities, or just plain strange cities.   I ran for 30:31, so I figure that was at least 3.5 miles, but it is unlikely that we'll ever know exactly.

Day 140

• 3.1 miles
• 7:51/mi pace
• 0600
• Guangzhou, PRC
• Treadmill again as I felt it wouldn't be safe to run outside considering the fog -- Yeah, seriously, I couldn't see more than a few feet and I worried I would get lost in the middle of the city that brought SARS to the world.   This run was easy and I felt like I was running fast, though I was not.

Day 139

• 4.35 miles
• 8:03/mi pace
• 0710
• Guangzhou, PRC
• Treadmill, 1% incline; 7k distance.   This one nearly killed me, seriously, it felt like an absurd speedwork session...not sure what it was, the humidity or jet lag?   Anyway, I was glad to have finished it and I felt good the whole rest of the day, so guess it wasn't too hard...well and I had the normal INCREDIBLE breakfast buffet that named hotels in Asia.   I honestly believe breakfast buffets in Asia are the greatest meal experience on earth, they simply have to be.
