AM - only slept until about 3:30 am - then watched the world championships track and field - headed out for a run around 6:15 am - meandered around Singapores central business district and found a park with some steep stairs and historic monuments - and made my way back to the hotel for about 5 miles.

AM - 5 miles along a waterfront promenade before sunrise.  Felt a little sketchy as the lighting was not great - and it was very quiet.  Not feeling all that lively - so this was again a rather slow effort.

PM - 5 more on the treadmill before I head to the airport.  Around 24 hours of flight time ahead.

Decided to take a day off because of the long travel.  I could have run but decided it would be more helpful to rest.

AM - 3.5 miles with Finn before work this morning in Atlanta.  He was very happy to get out for a run, having not had a chance to run in the last 10 days.

PM - around 8.5 easy miles.  Legs were noticeably impacted by yesterday's workout.  Kinda surprised by that as it was not a huge effort.  Oh well - old age I guess.

Surprisingly busy day - and no time for running.
