Once again flight being delayed and might as well write something in this deserted board.

Seemed that everytime I attend this global meeting something happened that prevented me from running. I was looking forward last sept to run in Germany but than I hurt my back, this time thought I can finally run in this warm and beautiful Phuket Island and guess what,  I caught this acute bronchitis and only managed a 5 k run on my first day, with perfect weather - 30 degree, gorgeous sunshine, nice air, 4 good days are wasted. My colleague said boldly that age is catching up.
Wondering this is the so call :spell???

One year on this board still deserted. Once again I am wasting time at Shenzhen airport due to the usual flight delay. My pingyin is terrible so this is my contribution to this board.

Let me report my running for the last few days. Sunday was going to do a 30 k run with runners from my old club. Well, right from the start the heat and humidity is a killer. Everybody start slow but even at over 6 minutes pace I still could not keep up.  So it was sensible for me to cut it short and settled for a 20 km run. The first 10km was done in one hour and the second 10 km seemed to be better at 55 mintues.  The last 2 km the sun was so strong that I felt my skin burning. It was so exhausting that the whole day I was suffering from this heat stroke.
Monday night went to Hammer Hill sport ground. The night program is a 30 X 400 meters. Each set is 3 minutes. Most of them did the 400 meters under 1 min 20 sec. The elite group have a break of 7 minutes after 20 of them and then finish the last 10.  With the heat and humdity I could only manager 14 of them at around 1:28 each.  Today too tired to run and have a rest day. This sort of training makes our wednesday night track work looks  relatively much easier !

    Hahaha, welcome back to Shanghai! The weather here is so nice for running!

Last night in GZ, I did 11km which is usually quite easy for me. But I was also exhausted by the terrible heat and humidity.
