I decided to take the last 2 days off of training only because my body was and is on the verge of telling me to f- off.
With that I decided I would treat myself to a $24 1hour reflexology spa Massage. (yes that cheap- everything is cheap even in a 5 star hotel with non-potable water) Well when I called the spa, they didnt speak english so I thought I made an appointment for 8:15am. When I got down there I found out they opened at 9am and I didnt have an appointment after all.
I have 2 golden rules when on a trip for work (aka running the events)
1. Dont eat shrimp- I have had many planners down after eating shrimp the night before the event at the hotel- so I will not eat it!
2. Dont go for a spa appointment because everyone seems to have a radar and tries to contact you the entire hour you are trying to relax.
This was probably God's way of having me stick to golden rule #2.
Anyway, after trying to speak english to the non-speaking english spa attendant, I decided to forgo the massage and go for a run in what they call a fitness room. First I had to walk past 2 naked Asian men as the men's locker room was wide open and after I came down from that shock I found my way to the ancient treadmill.
I couldnt figure out the treadmill and I saw the button 5K so I pushed that and ran for 38:16, 466 Kcals burned. So realistically I did a 5K in 38Mins. Yay me!
I did not bring water with me and below is what they offered for the thirsty worker outters. Based on the fact that in our hotel rooms in the shower and above the sink it clearly states Non Potable Water- Do Not Drink Water it even has a cup and faucet with a universal red circle with a line in the middle so I am sure this water cooler was not reversed osmosis OR purified. I took my chances on possibly dying from dehydration.
I am off to Singapore the country closest to American Culture, food and safety. I will run again tomorrow!
PS the guy in the room next to me is smoking and its seeping into my room BARF!!!
Too funny! Hope your trip goes safely!
