Greetings from Bangladesh

First, to show that I haven't been slacking off too much, I'll list the running I've done since just before Christmas.

12/26: 8 miles @ 7:24 pace
12/27: 8 @ 7:40
12/28: 8 @ 7:25
12/31: 10 @ 7:54 This made it 1866 miles for the year--by far the most I've ever run in a year since it's the first time I've run year-round. I ran 231 times for an average of 8.08 miles per run.

1/1: 6 @ 7:30
1/4: 8 @ 7:15
1/8: 10 @ 6:59
1/9: 6 @ 7:28
1/11: 4 @ 7:07 I ran just a few hours after touching down in Dhaka. This was my first run in Bangladesh in over a year. Due to pollution, traffic, and bad roads, the only way I can run here is to do 1/3-mile laps on a concrete path around a man-made lake in my neighborhood. It gets a bit fatiguing on the mind to run in circles, but it's better for my mind than not running.
1/12: 6 @ 7:06
1/13: 10 @ 7:09
1/15: 6 @ 7:05
1/16: 4 @ 7:14
1/17: 6 @ 6:53

The weather's been great for running--I'd guess around 40-45 when I run around 7AM. I'd better enjoy this while I can because it'll soon be very hot and humid even at 6AM.
