13km in 1:05:00 on the safe, dog free hotel treadmill. 5 min avg pace (who am I to argue with the treadmill?)

 My local co-worker told me "maybe it's not safe for you to go running alone in Macau" I said "why", he said "maybe because this is a Gambling town, maybe there are bad guys" 

Well now you tell me :) 

Asians, say "maybe" a lot.

***************************

PM.  30 minutes on the elliptical followed by weights.

I attempted to run outside again today, first off, it was like Mississippi humid out there, stale stagnant mucky air.  I ran about a mile from the hotel was feeling fairly miserable and realized I was in some warehouse district all alone with dogs barking at me so I just headed back to the hotel and finished my run on the treadmill.  I think that's most likely where I'll be the rest of my trip, which isn't too bad cause it has a nice view of the golf course.  I am so ready to be done with China, I come home on Friday and then a week later I have to come back to Bejing for 1 week.  Blah!  Hopefully I get a couple months break after that.

***************

PM. 30 minutes on the elliptical followed by a really pathetic attempt at weights, followed by a delicious apple.  I've lost about 5 lbs in the last week just because I can't even enjoy the food here, I'm happy about the weight loss but could really use a good pizza.

I was up at 3:00am doing work then at 4:30 decided to lay down for a bit and ended up sleeping in past the alarm so I had one of those panic moments where I didn't think I had enough time to get a run in.  Went down to the gym and cranked out a 10K hurried up and got changed, ran to my desk in the conference room and of course I'm the only one here.

PM.   30 minutes on the elliptical, followed by weights.  I was going to run this evening instead but all the treadmills were taken.

19.3km (12 Miles) on the hotel treadmill in 1:35:00. It was really hard for some reason, I'm getting a little more used to the humidity but I looked like I just got out of the pool when I was done. I bet I stunk really bad too.

PM. 6.5km (4 miles) on the hotel treadmill, followed by Situps and a delicious apple.

It's a lot easier to stay on the first page of the milage board when you are almost an entire day ahead of everyone else.

7 really slow miles on the treadmill, I'm not sure if it was more humid today, or if I just had a bad night sleep but my energy was just sucked dry.  The humidity makes you feel like you do at mile 24 of a marathon where you just can't seem to get a hold of your breathing, and you sweat profusely for no apparent reason. 

I am so ready to go home.  Today is the last day of conference, tomorrow I fly home.

Felt pretty good this morning so I decided to go a little longer than normal since I didn't have work and my flight isn't until this afternoon.  Now I get to go sit on boats and buses and planes for the next 24 hours.
