Well this was kind of an accidental race. I bet you wondering how is it possible? Let me start at the beginning. Last year when I was training for the Berlin – Chicago marathon, I’ve run an awesome 18 miler training run. Few weeks after that I was supposed to run my 20 miler. Back […]

I realised that all my Facebook posts are about my training posts. I love sharing my ups and downs but I bet it gets annoying after a while. So instead of sharing daily , I’ll write a post about how my week of training went on Mondays. Monday’s are my rest days so will have […]

It’s really important to carbload before a race, so on saturday we decided to have pizza. One of our host suggested that there’s an awesome pizza place near by and we should try it. They make “Detroit” style pizza , which means it’s a square one. It is a rectangular pizza that has a thick […]
