K-Swiss Blade Light-Run – Love It!

November 2, 2010

I mentioned earlier that I will be soon getting a new pair of running shoes. I finally got it 2 weeks ago – The K-Swiss Blade Light Run. I’ve done about 100km (I’m tracking it using Dailymile) with it in the past 2 weeks as part of my preparations for the Penang Bridge International Marathon [...]

My First Full Marathon in 5 Weeks Time!

October 15, 2010

A Creepy Trip Kutna Hora

April 19, 2010

When I was working in Germany back in 2008, my colleague suggested that we visit Prague during one of the long weekends. And she further suggested that since we were already in Prague, why not make a half day dash to Kutna Hora using our Eurail tickets. I was like, What? Kutna Hora? What is [...]
