Week in review

Did a couple trail runs, couple indoor trainer sessions on the bicycle, some strength and cardio workouts. Feeling good throughout the week, my longer run this week was 3 hours, which went well, I drank too much coffee the morning of, and then had to pee about every 30 minutes. Side note about peeing and racing. Sure when you are training and you need to pee you just pull off the trail a bit and then go do you business. But when I am in a competition I will pee on the run..in my shorts..on myself.....no problem. Taking a dump is another matter.
The wife and I argue about stupid shit, usually something difficult to translate or make her understand. She gets frustrated and pissed off and then we laugh it off. She IS a crazy Chinese mofo though! She's a very feisty little thing, all 5 foot 2 inch 96lbs of her. She is awesome though and I love her to bits, I cannot think of my life without her.
Work has been good, I did my ITLS course(international trauma life support) and got all my required CME credits for the year. The licensing requirements are always a hassle every year but I guess it is good to make a standard requirement for Paramedics.
Helen and I went to Maggie's Highschool open house. Helen cannot believe all the things a western highschool offers, music, arts, cooking, theatre, sports, dance, trades, and such like. She never had any of that, Maggie never had any of that either...her schooling and education is drastically different then what she would have if she were still in China. However the biggest difference would be the way of learning. The school of thought in the West is totally different than how Chinese students learn, TOTALLY!!!
I'll explain more about the schooling system a little later, right now my thumb is getting tired from typing this up on my iPhone :/
