What better way to start the year than with an easy 5km race right in my own backyard.  I was quite happy to save some taxi money by cycling down to Big Splash (all of 5km) for the Brooks Run Happy race.  Managed to arrive seconds before the 10km category...

Went to Taipei for new year count down a few weeks ago, it was a good trip with the shopping, sight seeing and the good food. And of course, I must run! Although I'm not familiar with Taipei, I'm grateful for the technology known as GPS and Taipei is...
