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
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

Volunteer at a race! I had the pleasure of volunteering at the More Magazine/Fitness Magazine Half-Marathon on Sunday. I arrived for my assignment at 6:30 am. Walking through Central Park that early with very few people, besides the race organizers, around was one of the most peaceful, zen moments I’ve had in a while. I … Continue reading
Happy New Year!! I took a little break from running after the NYC Marathon cancellation, my total miles per week during that time was around 10 miles per week. I took some time to eat, drink and be merry. I was fortunate to start the year running! Surprised? I hope not. I felt like a … Continue reading
I think I’ve said this before, Paulistas like to run and they have some very nice options to choose from for running. In some of the nicer neighborhoods you will see some people running on the streets after work or early morning. I’ve had the opportunity to run in Parque Trianon a few times. After … Continue reading
