The Journey to Tokyo Marathon 2016: The Lottery

Tokyo Marathon is one of my race wishlist, but I didn't plan to join in 2016.

Indoor Workout: Did the 3 Bodyweight Workout Routines For Runners

I found these routines via Competitor.com. And because it was raining since Wednesday, I did tried it a home. It looked easy but it was really challenging.

Asics GT-2170

What I basically looking forward to with this race is the view of Laguna lakes. I hope to get some good shots. I'm now enjoying running and sight-seeing together. It's adding more fun to running.
