Races like these were not to be missed because 1) they form part of your tune-up races for marathons 2) they give you great competition from the best runners in the land and 3) they epitomized what a big...

Dwell in Possibility: Li-Ning Manila Run 12.03.16
I love mornings because the beginning of a brand-new day sets the stage for possibilities.

Where there seemed endless reasons to worry the night before, possibilities of alternatives and even solutions make the load and work ahead more... Continue Reading →
