One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've run three marathons in Kyiv (Ukraine), Atlanta (USA) and Amsterdam (the Netherlands), some halfmarathons in Kyiv, Poltava (Ukraine) and Philadelphia (USA), mountain trail runs in the Carpathians (Ukraine), and obstacle races.
While travelling to my friend's wedding in France, I had only a backpack with me. In two weeks I visited Warsaw, Lublin (Poland), Brussels, Charleroi, Bruges/ Brugge, De Panne/ La Panne (Belgium), Paris, Lille, Saint-Omer (France). And after that I ran a 23-km trail in the Carpathian Mountains.
