Italy 2018: Verona (Half)Marathon, 18.11.2018

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB72MrawWYw&t=9s Some people say I travel too much. I say it's all about priorities and time&money management.

Romania 2018: Retezat Marathon, Rausor skijump

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0JYzffTMZY&t=20s Once again, I took part of what I've sworn I would never do.

Hey ya'll! How you doing? How's your training going? Mine not so good, I've been a little lazy. But I'll talk about that later. It was about time to add another road race, right?
