I believe the experience itself would teach me alot ,other than the lasting relationships I’d gain from it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran a Marathon in Luxor, Egypt. What was really special about this marathon is the location itself. The road crossed through ancient Egyptian temples and parts of the city’s countryside.
