    I'm not going to make this month's goal. I was supposed to run today but it was Miss Almost-Five's first school visit and I had to stay with her, which took all morning. I reckon I may be able to get another 50km squeezed into the next 10 days, if I'm lucky.

    @mobycarp hope your hamstring gets better with extended rest.
    @garygse if you aren't setting distance records, you're setting pace records. You're just the all around perfect runner, aren't you ? :D. Seriously man, great job!

    1118-10.1k total-39.2k, goal-100k

    Finished the 10k race at the Shanghai Marathon yesterday.

    Obligatory bling:

    WEll done! But I must say I am surprised that there is English on the medal?

    Lots of races in China do that, makes them look more "international" (in other words, fancy ;) ). Suppose it happens in the rest of the world too.

    Thanks everybody! @biketheworld @katharmonic @polskagirl01 @kgirlhart @Avidkeo @shanaber whoever else I missed.

    @MobyCarp Hope you feel better soon.

    @midwesterner85 That coin is so cool.

    Soooooo remember how I said I was going to take a few days off and let my back heal before running again? Yeah... well should have done that. :)

    Oh no! What exactly did you do? Oh just 13 miles. Of course.

    Well you see, I walked into the gym, had brought my heat gear and was like "Sure, I'll just hop on the dreadmill for an hour instead of putting that other shirt back on and run outside... in the park... by the river...and well sorta accidentally put outdoor gear... and flashy lights... and headlamp... and accidentally went outside and sort fell into running by mistake.

    It happens to all of us, right? :smiley:

    It'll definitely be happening to me from now on! Well maybe not the 13 miles bit too often, but the rest!
