Half a Marathon Away

I ran 21km at the 2nd Quezon City International Marathon last Sunday, and I must say, for one who hasn’t joined an organized race since April 2010, it was a great experience to be out there once again, enjoying the crowd, the ambiance and the long distance. My training for this race wasn’t completely on-schedule. [...]

My Race: VSO-PNA Kabahagi Run
