Back into running

Recently have managed to come into contact with a group of runners in Dalian, very pleased, will be able to motivate myself to get back into running if it turns out well. They are all from around Dalian, and they will be running around 10-15km at a time, which will allow me to push myself to get back into the sport.

In terms of running – ish goals, best thing I can’t push for at the moment is the Beijing Marathon which is coming up in October, in order to get involved in this I will need to go through a health check, application, etc, so that should be a positive way of getting involved. Of course it will also require going to Beijing etc.

On the job hunt front, I have found access to a few good websites for looking for jobs recently, one of them being Shanghai expat, another Dalian xpat, so both of these will be good places to start.

Third issue being consideration of starting sort of a programming related business etc -> possibility could be making games, although at the moment, the idea which strikes me as the most genius would be related to making a rubix cube type, which you could cover with some sort of a pattern related to Chinese characters or parts, and afterwords, would have to figure out how to put it back together based on these parts. Of course the target market for this may only be myself, although I could also attempt to market it to emerging Chinese learners etc/ english teacher field in China, although not sure if they are large enough of a population to strike interest, although their money supply is large.
