03-15-2026 Run

Woke up a little early and went to the nearby park for a run. It was more quiet on the streets this early, still very humid. So I was sweating a lot during the four-mile run, picking up the pack just a little bit in the last mile.

Avg pace = 8:53/mi

Total distance = 4.18 mi

Elapsed moving time = 37:11

Avg heartrate = 140 bpm (Coospo)

Heartrate up a little higher than normal, presumably due to the humidity and feeling just a bit punky, which had started the previous day. Nothing major, sinuses a little runny but no fever. This was a sleepy day, not much going on, we stayed at least a day too long in Hoi An. I tried to find a place for breakfast in the local neighborhood, but it was definitely not a tourist area. We ended up walking back to Old Town (ugh!) and eating at a Western-style cafe. Walked back to the flat and hung around for a while until we decided to visit the studio of Rehahn, a French photographer famous for documenting Vietnamese cultural groups. It was mildly interesting for a while, the guy is certainly passionate about his mission in this country. Ann walked from there to check on the readiness of her dress, and I walked back to the flat, then back yet again to Old Town to meet her for a drink. We walked back after that and spent the rest of the day around the flat. I got takeaway from the vegetarian restaurant nearby for the both of us, it was again tasty. Went to sleep early.
