74
Well the heat here in Beijing has been fairly steady, punctuated by the occasional violent thunderstorm and torrential downpour. That, combined with waves of hungry mosquitoes, has made the daily training somewhat of an added challenge. I recently counted the number of active and healing mosquito bites on my legs and arms and arrived at the startling number of 74. And yes, they itch :-/
With the killer humidity around here, it is not unusual for my sweat saturated clothing to be literally dripping from the exertion. Even doing my standing practice, sweat drips of my arms, forming small pools of sweat on the ground around my body. So these days, I wring my shirt out five or six times during practice, each time forming large puddles on the ground. I have had people see me after training and exclaim with surprise, “Oh, I didn’t know it was raining!” Alas, no, it is not.
