The exhausted happiness of the long-distance runner

You wouldn't think of Beijing as a runner's city, would you? Rather the opposite.

Well, I have been a runner for the greatest part of my life and destiny had it that I would move to Beijing with my family in 2006. Did I resign from running? - No.

I have not been running less than I did before and I have had a great many of my best Chinese experiences while running through the streets and parks of this vast city.
