Titbits

Today is the the 10th fasting day. The days are just flying by. Perfect running weather outside. Must aim for 4 km today but feeling a bit tired. Have to try or die trying!

Last week's Beiijng marathon made news for the wrong reasons. Two participants died. I was surprised at the the deaths. It cannot be from heatstroke as the October temperature in Beijing is quite low. Another thing was the number of participants - 25,000. So many but how come I never saw a single runner while I was Beijing in 2001? Nor did I see any other runner in Shanghai, Suzhou or Xian. I could see people doing Tai-Chi , dancing, calisthenics but not a single runner was in sight. I guess everyone was too busy making money to spend any time exercising.

Today I went to the GNC shop and bought Emergen C-Lite 36 packs. I read about this product last year and decided to try it during the fasting month. If it's good I will order it from the USA where it costs USD 11
(Rm 42). Too expensive at GNC - RM 105 per 36 pack.
