1 mile running to and from the gym.  Rode the bike 30 minutes while I read A Separate Peace.  Now off to explore Singapore!  I hate how you can't stop sweating after taking a freaking cold-as-it-can-get shower.  I can't even put sunscreen on because its too sweaty.  Gross.

Maybe the spray sunscreen-- we used it in Hawaii and it seemed to work well, but felt so greasy and sticky.

I'm a huge fan of spray sunblock. I can never seem to get the lotion on right. Singapore sounds sticky! Why are you there again? LOL How is the running there?

When is the date of your Marathon?

No marathon in 2011, I don't think. Am scrapping the half marathon in Singapore as well because I can barely run 7 miles without dying here. So I'll do a 5k here, Hood to Coast, and then a half marathon in October (hopefully, assuming my ankle continues to improve and doesn't get annoying!). How are your leg woes April?

That sounds like a smart move!

Foot is still blh! I'm holding out to hopefully do a November 1/2!
