On Saturday I ran in the Xi’an City Wall International Marathon. The marathon was held on top of the city wall in Xi’an, one of only two surviving city walls in China. Why they called it a marathon is lost on me because the distances available to run were 5km, 13.7km (one lap around the wall) and a half marathon.
I won’t go into the details of the race (who knew training for these types of things was so important?) but will say that I finished and despite not being able to walk normally today still think that it was totally worth it. Now I can check”run a third of a marathon on top of an ancient city wall in China” off my bucket list. If anything, the cool shirts they gave us to run in made it worth it right there.

I was surprised you can get up that early.
Sean, I am wondering if you are beginning to miss your hairstylist???
@ Ling – I surprised myself as well, shows you what I’m willing to do for a good story.
@ Amy – And just what are you implying by your comment?
I would buy you the biggest container of chocolate-covered espresso beans if you and that tall guy that hangs out with you a lot came over to visit and you cut my hair.
