Got into China last night at 11:30, to the hotel by 1:00am. I slept OK but woke up at 6:00 am anyway so I decided to go run. I was going to take the day off but thought running would be better for jetlag than laying wide awake in bed. I seriously used to hate coming to China just because there was no place to run but last year I found Forest Park just 1 mile from the hotel and now this is one of my favorite places to run. It's an extremely well marked, 3K, 5K, or 10 K loop all on red rubbery track service around a, well foresty park. The terrain reminds me of Central Park, maybe a few less hills but pretty rolly, and truthfully it's prettier than Central Park and way less people. I can't believe it took me 4 years to find it. Anyway, ran to the park, ran the 10K loop The full loop actually ends up being 6.5 and then back. We are now planning a site seeing day since our shipment wont arrive until tomorrow. We are going to the Great Wall, and Forbidden city. I'm here with 3 people that have never been here before so it should be fun.
