Marathon runner

Running is a challenge on itself and more so when you strive to run in the most amazing marathons in the world. Thus far, I have ran two of the six most famous marathons, New York City and Chicago.  To qualify for the Boston marathon for sure is the greatest challenge. The other three: Tokyo, London and Berlin the cost of travelling adds more to the challenge.

In life, hope  and self-discipline are some of the keys to success.
