AM - early 8 mile run in Gainesville before church.  It is quite a mess that crews need to clean up around the stadium and campus following a late night game.  Busy day today with a drive back home and then a high school year-end swim banquet for Riley - then pack and head to the airport tomorrow morning for the last long trip of the year - heading to HK, China, Korea and Japan for 12 days on business.

PM - Tuesday night in Hong Kong - after checking into our hotel, we went out for a run to shake out the long trip.  It was around 11 pm when we headed into the city and around Victoria Park - we ran through a major commercial area which was still hopping like Times Square at 11:30 at night.  Found our way back to the hotel for a nice 6 miles and sufficiently tired to get a solid nights' sleep.

AM - easy 4.25 miles in HK before morning meetings.  Rather warm and humid and since I had no dinner last night, I was not feeling too great for the run this morning.  Planning a late afternoon run with Richie at the end of the day.

AM - 7 miles on the treadmill in Hong Kong before heading to Zhuhai via Ferry.   Felt a bit travel weary on this run, but was pleased to get it in with a busy day ahead.

PM - after a longish day that had me up at 4 am for a conference call in the US and then traveling to the airport in Zhuhai to Shanghai for meetings this afternoon - Richie and I went out for a run in this absolutely massive Chinese city.  We had a map from the hotel for a short 5k running route, but soon found ourselves exploring the town until we reached the river which has a very nice promenade.  Luckily I ran with my iphone which provided us a way back to the hotel without getting lost and we covered about 6 miles.  There are so many people and conveyances (bikes, scooters, buses etc) it made for a bit of a "frogger" game getting back - which was actually pretty fun.  Great way to end a very fatiguing week of travel.

AM - on a cold and smoggy Shanghai morning I decided to stay indoors and ran 10 miles on the treadmill.  Did a few laps in the indoor pool afterwards too.
