Back up to China now, this time with a very good English-speaking training partner.
We spent two days in Kunming, then flew to Lijiang for 3 days.
Kunming is at 6,200 feet, Lijiang is at 7,600 feet. Now we are way up at 10,500 feet in Zhongdian. Ran 11miles at 6:40 pace and it was very difficult this afternoon.
Weather here in Zhongdian is IDEAL.....cold morning, mild sunny afternoons and cool evenings.
Now starts my long build-up for the HAMBURG MARATHON!!! 2:14 OR BUST.

Nice one Jason,
Are you right in the Himayalas? Or is it the Tibetan plateau with a smoky chinese city to deal with?
Does altitude increase testicular mass? Or is it the mountain views? A view from your spot would be good.
Cheers

No, my nuts feel about the same size.
I dont think that we are in the Himalayas, but rather an area bordering them.
Zhongdian is a really neat ethnically-Tibetan town. Just had a HUGE lunch at a little restaurant for all of about US$2.50.
Ran about 15km in cold weather this morning and we will do roughly the same this afternoon. Feeling a bit low on protein so I will have a Yak steak tonight.
