This morning I woke up at 3:40 AM (crazy!) to participate in the Standard Charter 10K. This race is iconic in Hong Kong with 60,000 people running either the 10K, half or full marathon. The trains were running early for the event which was fun because every single person on the train was a runner going to the same event. The weather was cold and a little drizzly and we ran the whole race in the dark. Really, were it not for my friends/ training- partners, this would not have been all that fun. I've been building up to this race for a long time and it has provided great motivation for me to train consistently. We finished in 57 minutes, which wasn't that fast, partly due to how closely we were packed to other people.

After the race we celebrated with an American Breakfast at the Flying Pan. Jason brought the kids to the restaurant by himself to join us. I was so proud of him for getting them both up, ready, fed and onto two buses down to the island. Probably that is harder than running a 10K. (:
