25 May 2014 — The Etude Princess Run 10K marked as my 36th 10-kilometer race and second 10K run this year. If multiplied together, it’s equivalent to running the Bataan Death March Ultramarathon three times, a fifty-kilometer race from Tagaytay to Nasugbu, Batangas, and about a four-kilometer distance of slow running as warm up exerciseContinue reading “A Princess for Over an Hour: Feeling Royal at the Etude Princess Run”

Nike We Run Manila: The Reds

A Weekend with Back-to-back Races
Greenfield Sunset Run, 21K, April 24 It was my first time to set foot at Greenfield Subdivision and noticed that race course was mostly flat, with a portion of asphalt, and the rest of the road was cement concrete pavement.

Hilly Personal Milestone, 24 May 2009
Baguio… The word reminds me of a VSO friend’s funny experience as a volunteer in Zambia, Africa. In her blog, she related how she, as Filipino, was mistakenly identified as Chinese, Japanese, Lebanese, Irish, Russian, etc. There were some who used Filipino (finally!) but spelled as Philippino. The worst case was when she was calledContinue reading “Hilly Personal Milestone, 24 May 2009”

I was told that race bibs and singlets were not yetContinue reading “Takbo Para sa Ekonomiya, 18 Jan. 2009”
