On this day in 1988, I left China to chase a childhood dream in America. 38 years later, to the day, I'm flying back to celebrate my parents' 90th birthday 九十大寿 🎂🎉 I wasn't supposed to fly today. I don't believe in coincidences. What a blessing! 🙏 #Blessings #Family #FullCircle

124 5Ks in, & today's surprise: I got 3rd place in my age group at Sun's Police Pace race! Bob the race bandit, delivered the award. If I'd known, I could've picked up the pace & walked less for 1st or 2nd. The older you get, the better the odds 🤦🏻‍♀️ #FitHealthyAndStrong #TrainingForLife #Run #5K

At start of my 123rd 5K at the Police Pace race w/ Bob, the "race bandit" 😄 Forget the bandit. My eyes & mind were on the Normatec compression boots, best thing the race offered. Medal on, banana in hand, legs hugged by air. @RunR2P 朋友,你今天运动了吗?🏃🏻‍♀️ #FitHealthyAndStrong #TrainingForLife #生命在于运动 #5K

Cool morning 4 my 122nd 5K, a warmup 4 tomorrow's Police Pace race. Plan: stay ahead of the law. Fellow runner Bob (pic) is the race bandit. 🏃🏻‍♀️ Parkrun shirt from Shay in the UK, held together by KT tape & still functioning. Same as the runner. 朋友,你今天运动了吗?🏃🏻‍♀️ #5K #FitHealthyAndStrong #生命在于运动

Barely held together by KT tape today. On the bright side, it matches the outfit. If I'm falling apart, I'm falling apart in style. 🩷💜 朋友, 你今天运动了吗?🏃🏻‍♀️ #FitHealthyAndStrong #TrainingForLife #生命在于运动

5K #121 ✔️! 2 weeks off 4 travel + a conference, but I still showed up color-coordinated — blue tape, blue top, blue shoes. My OT & I got a system😊.

The Grand Canyon is trying to tell me something. Lst yr: R2R cancelled by fire. This yr: I returned, visited my late friend Tracy's spot, felt ready. Then flash flooding struck. Many missing, 2 fatalities 🙏 Tour group silent. 2 years. 2 near-misses. Not done yet. 🏃🏻‍♀️ #GrandCanyon #RimtoRim

Caught this spectacular sunset at the Grand Canyon & just stood there stunned. In over 3 weeks I'll hike rim to rim — starting from the North Rim, all the way across. Impossible? Maybe. Exciting?

Sometimes you need some negativity. This am: 5 negative, PB chinups!

🏃🏻‍♀️ Run #120 ✔️: flew home lst nite frm 105° in Austin 2 an arctic 77° in Leakin Park. Practically needed a jacket. 🥶😂 Feeling like a million $$ — turns out jet lag + a huge temp swing is basically a free recovery day in disguise. 朋友，你今天运动了吗？🏃🏻‍♀️ #FitHealthyAndStrong #5K #Run #生命在于运动 #TrainingForLife

🏃🏻‍♀️ Run #119: wall-to-wall sunshine, 100% humidity, full heart of gratitude. Got passed by lightning in tiny human form, who yelled "you're doing right!" — encouragement or a polite roast from a little girl? 😅 朋友，你今天运动了吗？🏃🏻‍♀️ #FitHealthyAndStrong #5K #Run #生命在于运动 #TrainingForLife

🥾 Traded the 5K for a hike today: Sugarloaf Mountain, just over 5K, 1hr30, 800ft elevation gain, heavy backpack included. Training for my Grand Canyon rim-to-rim, so this counts as "homework." Views incredible, endorphins flowing. 😅 朋友，你今天运动了吗？🥾 #FitHealthyAndStrong #Hike #TrainingForLife #生命在于运动

🏃🏻‍♀️ #118 5K in the books: cooler temps but still humid! Had a rabbit for the 1st 1/4— shoutout to Iman who then turned into an energizer bunny and left me eating dust. 😅💨 Some days you're the hare.

113 5Ks. All that training. All that sacrifice. Turns out it was just so I could full Olympic sprint through crowded corridors at @fly2ohare last night, dodging strollers, rolling luggage, and fellow humans, arriving at the gate like I just crossed the finish line. 1/

I did it again! My 113th 5K is done✔️ It was 80° but the trail was 97% shaded. The other 3% you get cooked pretty well. Not my best run but I enjoyed it after missing last week due to travel. Still praying 4 my sister Esther文君's complete recovery so the Li sisters can run together again. 朋友，你今天运动了吗?
