Rogin-E Last Man Running 2012 Is Back!

Posted on by jazzrunner
Another round on March 24
.
One of the most unique races held last year is back and i remember this as the time i was running through an injury, my first race of the year 2011 and suffering with a very debilitating nemesis, Plantar Fasciitis. Ugh! That 10k run went rough and queasy although the discomfort was tolerable during the run, the pain geared its ugly head after the race when i could barely walk and was limping towards home. Story here.
.
Treated after several weeks of rehabilitation, i really was lucky to have overcome this so it’s been a year of continuous running uninjured. Now this race is back and for those ultra runners who has both endurance and speed, this is their race and a trip to China for the world-renowned Great Wall Marathon awaits the winner.
.
