Well it's official...Jordan's famous in China!!! =) He made the newspaper for running in a 10K race back in December. There were about 9 people from our group (including myself) that ran and Jordan made the paper!!!
I've circled the comment under his picture because it says:"If he can finish the race, so can you!" We've been laughing ever since we got it!!! Thought you'd enjoy a great laugh!!! *Jordan, being his humorous self, was being dramatic-imagine that! =) for the picture...we were all yelling for him when he arrived at the finish line!!! haha!!!!
Things to know about the race:
-We ran the 10K portion of the race.
-It was a charity run "Run for Love"
-It was called a "mountain marathon", but we didn't expect it to only be on a mountain.
-Only about 1K of the race was paved, the rest was gravel (aka huge rocks!!)
-For about 2K of the run the mountain was lined on both sides with beehives from local mountain villagers
-There were 11 foreigners total that ran...Over 500 Asians...slightly outnumbered.
-While running down the mountain, a girl that Jordan was running beside, slipped and fell into one of the bee "boxes", causing a swarm of bees and one stung Jordan on the back of his head.
While the race was my terrible idea, we had a good time doing it and felt accomplished when we finished. We survived and have a great story to tell!!! Enjoy the picture!!!
Love,
Tyler & Jordan
