Today was my first run with the running club since mid-December. And mid-way I felt kind of unfit. That’s the downside of jogging. You really notice the slacking. <\/p>\n

Due to a cold during the Christmas break and my South Florida holiday<\/a> I didn’t run as much as I’d planned initially. <\/p>\n

Add lots of Swiss chocolate for Christmas and one week of American Breakfast. <\/p>\n

Though I did manage to get up early a couple of times and run along the beach. <\/p>\n

Given these distressing facts, today’s run was ok. The weather was perfect: about 7 degrees plus. We ran for exactly 1 hr (St. Alban – Birsfelden – Jowa – periphery of Muttenz and back). And if I include my regular bike trips, I did about 2 hrs of sports. <\/p>\n

The lights of the Joggeli Stadium (built by Herzog & de Meuron) were on. I wondered out loud if the red and blue lighting<\/a> means that there’s a game. BTW, there’s a film on the Beijing stadium coming soon. <\/p>\n

Yesterday I saw The Band’s Visit<\/a> about an Egyptian music band that gets stranded in an Israeli village in the middle of nowhere. And being the googling kind, I found this NYT article<\/a> about some kind of controversy regarding Oscar nominations. The film is funny, likeable, and manages to convey a realistic feeling of awkwardness when people from different backgrounds meet for the first time. <\/p>\n

Favorite quote: <\/p>\n

“A: No Arab culture center?
\nB: No culture, not Israeli culture, not Arab… no culture at all”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
