Yep. Two in one day.

While making breakfast this morning, and leisurely getting 'up' for the day (followed by copious lounging and chilling with our laptop in bed), this question repeated in my head: Why the blog?'

Why write a blog? Online? For all to see? I know, I know, a 'blog' is a kind of online journal or log of something, yes? Well, then why not call it something a little nicer than a 'blog'? (Which honestly sounds a bit euphemistic: another blokey phrase re: dropping the kids off at the pool, or laying cable etc. You know what I mean.) So, why not Ournal? (online journal) Or, Oiary? Or Oniary? (online diary). Or Oughts? (Online thoughts.)

Well, whatever its name, here it is: my thoughts on running while living in China. So, why do it? Why put my thoughts out there in a manner akin to that described in Ben Elton's 'Blind Faith', i.e. just like sharing? One word: motivation. This has  already helped with my running training, and no doubt will continue to do so in the future. I love running, I love writing, and I love rambling on about things, it seems, so why not combine the three? Further more, if anyone out there feels the same, then they can respond/get in touch/or tell me about their own running lifestyle (hence the reason behind the online/public aspect I suppose).

Love Sundays. But that has been said already and won't shock you. Been very lazy since the run this morning and it is perfect cloudy/rainy weather to do so. We were going to go to a local hotel and use their sauna/spa/get a massage/lunch buffet etc, but think we'll do that another time. Far too relaxed here to move too far yet. But think we'll definitely play more Ping-Pong in the near future. That was heaps of fun. Here is us, doing it for Australia and England:
