Tokyo Marathon 2018: The Last Stretch!

Las Vegas Marathon — Happy 50th

Where else in the world can you spot an Elvis look-alike sauntering by at any given time of day, or dine-party-shop in an Eiffel Tower, Pyramid or ancient Rome?

On the Run: From Mobay to 10k

I had probably only been running for 25 minutes, but in Jamaica, where everything is "All Right", time feels a lot slower.
