Last weekend, my wife did her first half marathon and my two oldest kids (William, 8 and Amy, 6) ran 1km. I was the only one not running (‘cause we have a third one who’s 20 months! Hahaha!). If you haven’t went to a run in your life, just to see how it goes, I strongly suggest you go see the ambiance. It’s free and it feels like Sunday Football J Here are the best articles I’ve read this week: 1. Special report on retirement on this blog ;-) 2. A Great Look at …
