Episode description

Hot and humid but getting things done! Early morning Chinese character review.


Workouts in, the gym was no cooler! Up early for a run (5.82km in 46.41), midday gym visit for 55 pull ups, push ups and squats + Turkish get ups, farmers carries, dips. Then out for another run (it was cooler outside) to finish up the pull ups by the tree and to run another 1.33 km.


Stuff gone! Weights are moved and it gives me a bit more room to maneuver BUT! These stands I got? Add to the clutter. Time to start shooting videos to justify their purchase!


Out to Blue Frog for dinner, they removed the double burger and now have some sort of “Mile High” burger!


Could I get certified as a Chinese teacher?


Latest APP adventure? A Chinese character breakdown site… turns out MDBG does it better.
