China 2006 09 07
A fairly normal day. Got up at 5;00 and did my Yazoo 800 for the marathon. 80 minutes of off and on hardrunning. I was sweating a lot and thhe T shirt was so heavy that it was rubbing n my nipples and it was a little tough. Do I need a jogging bra? In some marathons, some guys eeven tape bandaids over themso that there is no arubbing.
One of the students (Echo -they choose their English names) came out to talk while jogging. She was surprised at how fast I was frunning so only kept up with me , and having a tough times with it, when I was on my slow cycle.
We were working on calendars and had the students put important dates so that they can be more organized . Used the rider's football game days as important days as well as the Terry Fox run and Mark's birthday. Students had a good laugh.
Phoned mom and Jan this morning using Skype, something that we all can do so that we can talk without paying anthing. All you need is a computer and headphones with a microphone. If you want, you can actually phone a land line for some money...takes a credit card and some navigating on the internet.
Signed up for a Thanksgiving dinner on the Friday before and then may have another one on the Sunday at the Canadian club here at the school in Tuan Li.
Will be going in to Beijing again this Friday after classes. Not sure when we will return. Will try to decipher my way around so that I can get in there on the Friday or Saturday prior to the marathon to pick up my packet of goodies.
Take for granted things like hot water for the sink when you want to wash the dishes and have none...also in the bathroom, the same thing. Do you use the water froom the spout when you brush your teeth???? Buying milk at the local store...that is not only 500 mls and hardly lasts one meal...no such thing as a 4 litre container...having to buy water for just about everything you use..no stove ...but a microwave and hotplate...not being able to turn on a radio and getting news or music...making sure you go to the bathroom before you head to the classes so that you don't have to use the ones there...
Starting to know some of the names that are attached to faces. I had a taco syle brunch with eggs and peppers and some dough material with a sweet part of the middle. It is supposed to be very nutritional and also veing clogging.
I'm done for the evening.
Need to do some of the correcting before tomorrow.

Hey Squire
Nice to see that you are beginning to touch your feminine side... ie (nipples) :) I knew I'd rub off on you but I didn't realize just how much you were in denial of your femininity .... lol.
I think Kramer on "Friends" (TV) already invented what you are looking for.. cept he called it a training BRO.. for men...
Also, send me your skype handle .. mine is john_rieger
