Cebu City Marathon Experience: My First of Many
I started running with the notion that a marathon is only for the very fit people. It is only for the athletes who are built for this kind of sport. It is not for everybody. But after several months, I noticed how running was a sport for everybody. But...

What makes a feel good race?

Singapore Experience: The Half Marathon
Quennie and I tried to sleep early the night before the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon. We always sleep late before the race. I was still checking the map on how to go to the starting line. Do we take the train? the bus? the cab? Or do we just walk...

We just finished the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon. Quennie and I crossed the finish line at 2:33 for the 21K. A bit off our target but it was still a great run. Wow. We sure learned a lot of things on how to conduct a race as good as...
