Well, it's my birthday and I'm in China for the 4th year in a row. I would have liked to run 39 miles today but 8.5 was about all I had in me. Last year I followed a trail that just dead ended and I had to turn around. This year I followed that trail but saw another runner on the other side of the road going somewhere new, so I crossed the road and followed him. I knew there was a place called the Olympic Mountain Park but I never had figured out how to get in there, well this guys showed me the way so I had a nice little run around the gardens and then pretty much circled around the entire Olympic Venue here in Beijing. It was a nice run, I get lots of weird looks from locals but I never feel threatened by any means.
P.M. 45 minutes on the elliptical before bed
