Dear Running, I never expected you to become such a defining force in my life, but here we are. You’ve led me to places, people, and experiences I never imagined. You made me tougher. You kept me focused. You taught me to stick it out. I’ve experienced the sunrise along quiet roads and the loud …
Prague is one of the most beautiful cities I’ve had the privilege to visit. Someone convinced me to buy a good old fashion point and shoot camera. I tested out in Prague for the first time while on a run. I must say I had more fun with it than fumbling with my phone to …
I can’t wait to return to Thailand. It is one of a kind! I had 3 hours before I had to leave for the airport, so I dashed out of my hotel, jumped on the metro and I was on my way to the Palace and everything else I could soak in, in the time …
Just sharing some of my pics of Cote D’Azur and Monaco. Most were taken in moving vehicles. Hey, I make the most of every situation! It really is a beautiful place and it is definitely on my list to return to on a real vacation.
I spent some time in the in Nice, France and Monaco recently. One of the first things I did was to look for potential running routes on my way to my hotel. I didn’t have to look very far. One of the nicest running routes was the Promenade des Anglais, which ran parallel to the …
One of the things that is always top of mind after the Boston Marathon bombing, is safety and security while running a large race. A few days ago, it was announced that there will be a special force of “running police” running the course of the Tokyo Marathon. They will be a relay team of … Continue reading
I so wish I were here right now… And eat this while I daydream: Continue reading
The day after the NYC Marathon, I got the opportunity to hear Meb Keflezighi, the winner of the 2014 Boston Marathon, speak at a UCAN event (still haven’t tried it, but will when I start my next marathon training cycle in June). It was the icing on a very cold cake that was the TCS … Continue reading
Wow, where did 2014 go? I started the year like most people did, with plans, goals, wishes, dreams and renewed sense of hope and determination. My goal every year is to see at least one new place. 2014 was spectacular for that! I started in SE Asia and ended somewhere in Canada. In between, I … Continue reading
So much to share! But first I’ll start with running in Singapore. First thing to know, running in Singapore should generally start before the sun fully rises. It is definitely a running city. I started by asking my hotel concierge for a suggested running route and they had a handy map with different routes on … Continue reading
Hey there, I know it has been a while since I last shared my travels and running with you. I’ve been training for the Nike DC Half and also trying to meet my goal of running a half marathon a month. So far, so OK, since it is only month 3 and I’ve managed to … Continue reading
all wrapped up Continue reading
I can point to the exact moment when I decided to run the NYC marathon. It was 2009 when Paula Radcliffe ran passed me near mile 8 of the NYC Marathon route. I came out early to watch the elites run, while gearing up to cheer a friend on, as she also ran the marathon … Continue reading
Sharing some pics from the Philly Marathon. I spent the day there, cheering on some of my training mates. Continue reading
I got a chance to preview Nike’s Innovation Space a few weeks ago. I run with the run clubs that are associated with Nike, and was invited through to view the space through the run club. I didn’t know what to expect, but walked away impressed by their products but by their stealth marketing! It … Continue reading
