I’ve seen on TV some people who’ve lost loved ones from the floods. There are still plenty out there stuck in their rooftops including our friends in the arena of running. Some areas are still flooded, without power, and without potable water to drink. Hope you’re all safe and sound right now with your lovedContinue reading “Storm Ondoy Aftermath”

What Do Runners Do When Not Running?
The world of beauty is a mad, funny, seductive world. Misguided in some ways, misleading in others, it’s also a source of great pleasure to great many women. It just happened so spontaneously while most of the ladies were “SBing” over takbo.ph site. Rachel (a.k.a. Eichbar), a fellow runner, asked how I was and IContinue reading “What Do Runners Do When Not Running?”
Race Course Accuracy: What About It?
Within my two-year stint of racing locally, I’m no longer surprise to hear complaints or disappointments from either fun runners or the hardcore ones. Could’t blame them. After all they did train and prepare for it. Some kept tab on their personal records. Others, being their first, wanted it to be a legitimate one. SomeContinue reading “Race Course Accuracy: What About It?”
Mommy MilkShake Year 3
I intentionally didn’t register for Mommy Milkshake this year to give way to other runners. But a nagging thought kept telling me to join so just two days before the race, decided to call the organizer (crossing my fingers) hoping to get a slot. However, I was told by the staff that registration was alreadyContinue reading “Mommy MilkShake Year 3”

Milo Marathon Elimination Race in San Pablo City, Laguna: My Milo Story
Not even tropical storm “Labuyo” (Dujuan) could stop some runners from going to Laguna to join the 33rd Milo Marathon elimination race held last September 6. Just a few weeks back, while being online over takbo.ph shout box, I was invited by running buddies Joseph (Prince), Gab (Dirty Sanchez), Rod (Red), and Topher (DocT) toContinue reading “Milo Marathon Elimination Race in San Pablo City, Laguna: My Milo Story”
Why Do You Run?
So you’ve been running, say, for months, or, in years. No longer a newbie that you were then. And may be have been running and joining races more often, or, are looking forward to races scheduled this year. I quote from my previous entry. RUNNING … it’s painful, tedious and most of all, exhausting. ItContinue reading “Why Do You Run?”
We Do Care: On Running and Volunteering
While other runners were in any of these races—Ironman 70.3 in Camarines Sur, the Botak Paatibayan Miler Race at UP in Quezon City, and the Levi’s Fun Run at the Fort. Me, on the other hand, was with Lost Command runners for the usual Sunday long run that started at 4:30AM for them and 15Continue reading “We Do Care: On Running and Volunteering”
Subic International Marathon Launched

Please see also the Happy Feet photo on the side bar and previous blog entry, September 2008. It was an awesome experience forContinue reading “Subic International Marathon Launched”
Urbanites Ran the Rhythm of the Night
As soon as I received an SMS from a friend that the race route was out, I was not surprised. I’ve run the same course more than a couple of times before. The only difference was that the race will be held at nighttime. Part of the route was inside the Heritage Park, a cemetery.Continue reading “Urbanites Ran the Rhythm of the Night”
