What Type Of Investor Are You?

Run The Paris Metro: #2 – 10.56 miles
Running to the metro stations in Paris is getting me to run more that I’ve ever done in my life. Every other day I’m running around 10 miles. That’s almost a half-marathon. I stop to take photos, consume some wonderful food, coffee and run at a pace faster than I would run a half. …
