Running is useful

My wife's car is in for repairs today so I offered to combine a run with collecting her work mail from the post office. Talk about useful - although running with a set of keys in one hand and a fist full of mail in the other is a bit different.

Not bad though 6.98km / 31:52 (4:34min/km).

Hot and humid today - 25 deg with 95% humidity in Auckland. A bit yuck but the run itself was quite good. Reckon I'll be in good shape when Run Auckland starts at the end of March. Need to incorporate some proper speed work though...

I've got some off-site running opportunities coming up - thanks work! In Hamilton later this week and looks like three days in China near the end of Feb. If I'm lucky I might be able to sneak in a run in Hong Kong. Will need to do some research though about routes - likely will only have half a day so can't afford to get lost :)

Went to Hong Kong nine years ago but can't remember much of the geography...

Running in a foreign country might be a good excuse to get a Garmin with it's "find your way home" feature?
