Denouement

Ran around my home because squeezed for time, so some hilliness. Feeling tired from yesterday's workout.  Squeezed for time because our family were getting together with my friend Angela's family.  We were leaving the kids at her house to play (with her domestic helper) and we drove to Hong Lok Yuen, met up with Angela's friend and we did a hike that was 15k, but was about 17k with walking to/from the trails, and the hike was so very hilly, that it was about half stairs/steps, and it took us 5 hours!  No joke.  It was crazy hard.  I am a faster runner than Angela, but on trails I am just trying to keep up with her easy pace.  Thankfully Paul was with us (my Paul) and he was the slow poke, so the pressure was off me pace-wise.  That type of hiking is not as enjoyable as more gradual inclines, but it was lovely just the same.  Went up to Cloudy Hill (definitely cloudy, couldn't see the wonderful view the mist was obscuring, then to the eight fairies (eight hills) to Tai Mei Tuk.  I only brought an orange and a banana and lots of water (how much fuel do you need for 15k--cmon!).  Well this was 15k like no other.  So I was starving at the end.  Angela showed us a divey noodle shop in Tai Mei Tuk that we would have never been brave enough to go to alone, and all four of our dishes were very good and only $4usd each, so I am sure we will be going back.  

With all the stairs up and down I was concerned about my knee, but no soreness in the evening.  Did a nice thorough stretching/rolling session in the evening.  Saw Salt with Paul on cable--fun movie.
