AM - 7.5 miles in a pre-dawn smoky, humid Singapore morning.  Travel from NZ yesterday with a 10 hour flight and a 5 hour timezone change had my body confused about normal sleep cycles - got about 5 hours of sleep last night but was up really early and decided to go out for a run to kill time before breakfast and business meetings today.  May get a second run in later today before heading back home.

 

PM - 8.0 miles in and around a jungle outside of downtown Singapore - a technical trail run with twists, turns, hills, rocks, roots, monkeys, crocs (or something like a croc) and plenty of heat and humidity.  Actually got turned around and ran further than planned, but it was a good workout to wear me out before my long flight home tonight to help me sleep.  If I could figure out how to post a video or photos on this blog - there was a very unexpected moment where a monkey came up and took Richie's drink bottle and opened it for himself as we were taking photos.  Really interesting experience.
