East practice run is tantamount to seeing Hinulugang Taktak, a water fall in Antipolo City designated as a National Park by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. The first time the invite was posted over our running e-group, my interest was sparked. Couldn’t make it though for two reasons. Firstly, I was not familiarContinue reading “East Practice Run, 30 Nov. 2008”

Christmas is in the Air, 22 Nov. 2008
That’s right! Christmas is fast coming. It is just around the corner. Christmas carols were heard on radio stations when the first ber month hit the calendar. Only in the Philippines, I guess. And there’s a lot of things to do. Get the tree and lights up, buy presents and who knows what else. SantaContinue reading “Christmas is in the Air, 22 Nov. 2008”

A Race to Remember, 16 Nov 2008
The 7th New Balance Power Race at Clark, Pampanga I registered for the New Balance (NB) Power Race during the Run for Hope fun run two months ago. As race day got nearer, the more apprehensive I became and couldn’t help thinking whether I could make it to the finish line or not. Just aContinue reading “A Race to Remember, 16 Nov 2008”
VSO Kabahagi Ako Fundraising Run, 9 Nov 2008
This is it! The most awaited first 15k run. I made sure that I sleep early but maybe due to excitement, I didn’t sleep well… again! This has been a problem ever since. Though the race started late but the weather cooperated. To top it off, running inside a cemetery is a different experience. TheContinue reading “VSO Kabahagi Ako Fundraising Run, 9 Nov 2008”
Isuzu Shake, Rattle and Run, 31 October 2008
Halloween (or Hallowe’en) is not really a typical Filipino tradition. In the 19th century, Irish and Scottish immigrants brought this to North America and was embraced as a holiday celebrated on October 31. It includes activities such as trick-or-treating, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting haunted attractions, carving jack-o’-lanterns, reading scary stories, and watching horrorContinue reading “Isuzu Shake, Rattle and Run, 31 October 2008”
Renegade Runners during the 4th October Run
I was grounded for five days for being sick. Having cough and colds, didn’t stop me from doing my usual practice run. I’ve heard of the October Run but didn’t register. I had to follow Coach Joar’s advice, that is, to rest. I felt better today, so, I stayed at Ruth’s place so we couldContinue reading “Renegade Runners during the 4th October Run”
Paabilisan Road Race Series, 19 October 2008
Just an easy practice run for me after running my first 21k the Sunday before. Can’t push myself even if I was told by a fellow Happy Feet runner to aim a sub 1:00 time. I had a slight fever the night before but I wouldn’t want to miss this run. In fact, I lookContinue reading “Paabilisan Road Race Series, 19 October 2008”
