Layers of #HongKong
#running on the KaiTak skywalk, watching water skiers below, with old & new buildings behind, and all the way in the back, preserved wilds (where the Hong Kong 4 Trails Ultra Challenge is #run!)
We'll see you out there, #BreakingImpossible

After Iron Wire (鐵線拳) we had lunch with Grandmasters Simon Lam & Michael Goodwin & his students.
We come back to #HongKong to reconnect with our values!
And among them is "family"
The Lams are as welcoming as their standards in #HungKuen #kungfu are high
#BreakingImpossible
The #HungKuen event went a few days: welcome dinner, tournament & workshops.
Still, #BreakingImpossible found time to get around town.
Here's the famous Blue House, one of the original #LamFamily #kungfu schools.
(Where's Michael? Please stay tuned - we're sorting the media. Real updates coming!)
Another satisfying part? Getting together with global #HungKuen brothers: for #kungfu, and a good time. Here? It's time for milk tea with Swedish sifu, Mattias Lind.
#BreakingImpossible, Michael & I, were in #HongKong for a week of #kungfu.
Bear with us as we organize the media and get posts ready!
Among the most satisfying parts of the #HungKuen event: getting some of my global students together. Yes, Michael is one, and Will was able to join us, coming down from Nanjing.
#BreakingImpossible, Michael & I, were in #HongKong for a week of #kungfu.
Bear with us: we'll have real updates soon!
After the #HungKuen tournament, where I was judging, we grabbed a snap with grandmaster* Lam, ChunFai.

Taxing for take off #running
From the anchoring arena, to the cruise terminal, this is the new Kai Tak.
Canyons by Man.

The good ol' days #running
After gorging on dim sum with friends in the ol' stomping grounds, took the opportunity to run waterside to first HK job site in Science Park.

Sunset chase #running today.
Watch said: do some sprints.
I run faster than it expects, feeling strong. I tell it so; it still says "unproductive." 🤷
I have half a mind to go work with The Other Guys & apply my game making skills to all this. Thoughts?

Checking the beacons #running
No fire, so must be safe. Right?!
#BreakingImpossible #hk4tuc #OptOutside #PhotoSafari
Adding #running to commute - across South Downs national park. Part deux, or, "one more time!"
Funny thing is, it takes the same time as the bus!
#BreakingImpossible #OptOutside #hk4tuc #MyPhoto
Beautiful night for tempo #running, and as usual, we saved you a seat!
#BreakingImpossible #OptOutside #hk4tuc #MyPhoto
中秋節快樂!happy mid-autumn festival!
Big Moon #running to celebrate!
Like holding it in the palm of your hand.
And was 100% competing with the street lighting. Amazing!
#BreakingImpossible #OptOutside #hk4tuc
Recce #running to find better commute: mixing the bus with nice #run.
Up and over Devil's Dyke and North Hill.
A little slow, thanks to trail finding. And verts!
Quite a few beefy running buddies today.
#BreakingImpossible #OptOutside #hk4tuc #MyPhoto
Hill sprints at the park #running today
Feeling pretty ok these days!
Is this what it feels like to be back in the game? Maybe I'm on my way...?!
#BreakingImpossible #OptOutside #hk4tuc
Messing with Garmin #running today
Offered up a base run of 11/mile
I can do better than that - so did.
After finishing it up, ran back also faster than proscribed pace. "Unproductive"? My Aunt Fanny.
Topped off with a bit of #HungKuen #kungfu too.

All at once, maybe overdood it, #running and #strength
Hit the gym, covering most of the major groups. Then, went for run.
Body threw me a major headache party. LeSigh
"Pain is weakness leaving the body""? 🤷
#BreakingImpossible #OptOutside #hk4tuc #photosafari
Force yo' self #running. (Telling myself to #run)
Building back the habits and strength that comes from them.
The Big Move took a lot of wind out of the sails. So, like a cartoon, I'm puffing into them myself.
Couple nice snaps as reward.
#BreakingImpossible #OptOutside #hk4tuc #PhotoSafari
Led by the nose #running : followed Garmin reco. Led to user error, when also attempting #PhotoSafari, trying to catch a #sundial
Anyhoo! #10K mostly just trying to keep a leg in!
#BreakingImpossible #hk4tuc #OptOutside
After the rain #running
Small-hill loops at local park, playing a bit with HR.
Pretty happy that it's general improvement - keeping up pace, but not overdoing the heart.
If I can get into a more regular routine, it'll be time to add the distance back.
#BreakingImpossible #OptOutside #hk4tuc
It ain't all glamour and history #running out to the port.
100% English seaside weather: sunny upon leaving, at 2K - cloudy. 5K it was *pouring* driving rain. 7K back to sun!
Sure cleared up the trail traffic though!
#BreakingImpossible #hk4tuc #OptOutside #MyPhoto
Going to the gumption well #running today. Been a tough week!
Hill sprints, Koop style, at local park.
That's the "Goldstone," so in a way, these loops were circumambulations! 🧙🪄

#run for time, so didn't quite make 5K. Still, 30 mins squoze in the morning is good for now!
