It’s less than 7 days till the London 10km Winter Run, and as you can imagine, I am both excited and nervous at the same time. Not only is it my very first 10km run (hopefully the first of many), I am also looking forward to hearing and feeling the energy of the crowd. It’s been […]

Read more "TRAINING #1: LONDON 10KM WINTER RUN"Eminent English writer Samuel Johnson once wrote “when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life”. When budget is tight, options can be limited.
