These past few days I’ve been trying to get to terms with this race. Trying to look at it in a positive way. But I can’t help but feel disappointed. It’s not necessarily the time I’m disappointed about as much as the feeling that I didn’t get everything out of this race that was possible.... Continue Reading →
I went to the expo on Friday. It is held at McCormick Place. You can get to the expo by public transport, but it’s not super easy.

The original plan was to run the full marathon at Edinburgh, but things change. The cardiologist advised me to no longer run any marathons. So, I changed my entry to the half marathon. Initially the race organisation didn't want to change my entry, but after explaining the situation they did. I arrived in Edinburgh on... Continue Reading →
