Running in Beijing

Running in Beijing

Seven months into our trip, and I can say that my speed has taken a bit of a hit.  I was worried that the air quality would keep me away for our entire stay in Beijing(even as I write this it’s rated ‘Very Unhealthy’), but luckily it dipped down into ‘Good’ levels and I was able to pop out for a quick run.  I lake I ran to had actually been drained, so it was a bit of a disappointment, but other than that it was nice to be out in blue sunny skies.
