That aint no mean feat, girl! <br />Interesting how all the foreigners were listening to music but not the chinese... I find little things like that really fascinating. Cultures are the same on the big things - generally - it's them little quirky things that really set cultures apart, or so I think. :DSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01567884062638788962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732988644864592247.post-10264085182485167382010-10-25T14:27:22.288+08:002010-10-25T14:27:22.288+08:00awesome mel! you guys rock. racing is exhilarating...awesome mel! you guys rock. racing is exhilarating, and I think the best part is the encouragement from other runners. Same at the Great Wall Marathon last year, it was high fives and cheers all the way. It's a race (it was timed there, we had chips in our shoes that tracked us too) and people were still cheering. Too bad you had bad weather, yuck.Daltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15951838102586992431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732988644864592247.post-58649183505663547922010-10-25T09:24:49.883+08:002010-10-25T09:24:49.883+08:00He did.
