Kingston City Run partners with KGN Kitchen for pre-race party
ALMOST enjoyed as much as the road race itself, the pre-race carb-loading party is a part of many marathons and road races around the world. It is the opportunity to load up with carbohydrates the night before the race, to provide enough fuel for your body for the big day. Now, while this is essential when it comes to running long distances (half- and full-marathons), properly preparing your body to run should be of importance when running any race. Kingston City Run, which will host its second ... Read More
Money Musings: You Can Never Be Too Rich to Fail
Recently, there was a news report that a ticket bought in California had won the sixth highest lottery jackpot in the United States, earning approximately US$425 million in the process. The Powerball winner would net just over half that figure if he or she opted to take home a lump sum.

However, there are myriad stories of other big lottery winners who squandered their riches in re ... Read More
Fashion Focus: The 86th Academy Awards
The number of mermaid fishtails, sequins and nude-coloured dresses was unusually high on the red carpet at Sunday's Academy Awards. From Angelina Jolie's Elie Saab Couture to Cate Blanchett in Armani and Naomi Watts wearing Calvin Klein. But it wasn't the dresses stealing the scene; the men brought their A-game as well. Some argue a suit is a suit, others defend the plethora of options: tie or bow tie, vest, ascot or, in Pharrell's case, Lanvin custom-designed shorts. — Daily Mail Read More

'I'm just trying to get her back!'
Robin Thicke wants Paula Patton back, and he's not afraid to shout it from the rooftops. The Blurred Lines singer, 36, landed in Washington, DC and told a TMZ photographer bluntly that he wants his marriage back on track. He said: "I'm just trying to get her back." Patton is said to have called time on the marriage recently and wasn't moved by her spouse's last-ditch attempt to persuade her differently. He flew to Canada, where Patton was filming, but the grand gesture didn't change the moth ... Read More
A Slice Of Earthly Paradise
Growing up in the rural town of Linstead, St Catherine, in the early 1970s, life was idyllic, with the primary concern of the young being waking up on time to catch the train in order to get to the parish capital of Spanish Town, where most of the leading high schools were located, and where most of the children of Linstead and its communities were schooled. Indeed, whilst Linstead was seen by outsiders as a largely agrarian community, truth be told, Linstead was front and centre of the then in ... Read More
