Wow, it’s been a while. What can I say - life got in the way of blogging(not necessarily running). I think I’d be able to do better in the coming weeks, blogging-wise. For now though, forgive this post that’s about a race that’s already two weeks old.
As I said before, a lot of things obviously [...]

Today marks the beginning of the month-long countdown before the Milo Manila Eliminations.
Whenever I tell friends - runners and non-runners - that I am preparing for a race abroad, I usually get enthusiastic reactions.
