We ran intervals at the park today again. It was super hot (33C feels like 37C!) so my medium and fast intervals were pretty much the same speed as my recovery pace. 😂

Toward the end of the intervals, there was a kid screaming in pain crouched over on a bench. He was with his grandfather. I ran back to see if he needed any help. Turns out he had a sharp stomach ache and his grandfather didn’t have a phone and only spoke Cantonese. He seemed relieved when I started speaking to them in Cantonese. A bunch of ninjas stopped and Ravi offered the boy some water. He wouldn’t drink it at first because he was concerned about germs but we eventually poured some water on his head and made him drink a bit which helped. Maybe it was a heat stroke or dehydration. We tried calling his mom but there was no answer so I left a voicemail. After about 10 minutes, he seemed to feel better and was able to walk so I offered to walk them home.

I’m glad I didn’t have to call 911. I thought it was appendicitis or something. It would have been good to have Maria there tonight!
