On hindsight, I didn’t really appreciate the creativity and the vast possibilities for the culinary arts until I had a six-course dinner at La Degustation in Prague.

If you’re planning to run the Chicago Marathon (as I had in 2016), you must add two other activities to your agenda: coffee at Intelligentsia and dinner at Alinea. Trust me on this one.

Chilly, cloudless, windless. The event was well organized. Pacers were clearly… Continue reading Amsterdam Marathon 2017
