Episode Details

Up early and out the door! Trying to get back into running in the morning. Leg day today. Yesterday did 7km “around the block”, today was 3km to the gym, 3.5km back. Is this sustainable? And when do I move?

Did we go to BreadFest in Beijing? NO! 39 RMB for a ticket?? We could buy lots of bread on our own!

Qingfeng Park for the flowers… boy was it peaceful.

Sorting the books, which ones stay, which ones go? And when?!?!

And re-starting Chinese lessons tonight! Gotta get through HSK 5!
