13 July 2014 — When I looked at my mobile phone clock it said it was 3:24 AM and I have a race at 4 AM. Failed to set the alarm. Yikes! Luckily, I had everything readied the night before. That was the quickest dress changing ever done by me! Whew! I arrived at the race venue with just 10 minutes to spare. From afar IContinue reading “Takbo.ph Runfest 2014 Race Report”

Run United 1 Finisher, 16 March 2014
Who would have expected I get a complimentary 21km race kit considering registration for this particular distance had closed in just two days? Well, lucky enough to get a slot through Que and Jinoe, Takbo.ph site owners, who registered me in this race.

Bohol Sandugo Panglao Half Marathon Finisher
Just one week after finishing the I Shall Return 50K Ultramarathon in Leyte, I ran the Bohol Sandugo Panglao 21K category during the Bohol International Marathon (BIM) running event as I certainly didn’t plan to race hard another long distance any time soon.

Newbie 101: Races Here, There, and Everywhere
2009 Timex Run -21K Race Among newbie runners, the next question would be “How many races are considered too many?” When I started racing five or six years ago, there were not too many races on a certain date (or weekend). At the most only two to three races to choose from. It was way tooContinue reading “Newbie 101: Races Here, There, and Everywhere”
Run United 1. Runrio Trilogy 2012 Edition: My First Race for the Year
I always used my mobile phone as alarm clock, put it on vibrate, and kept it near me so it can wake me up. At 3AM, I had to literally drag myself out of bed feeling tired after doing house cleaning the day before. I was still moving like a zombie, when about 4AM IContinue reading “Run United 1.

Adidas King of the Road 2011 Half Marathon Race Review

It was alsoContinue reading “Adidas King of the Road 2011 Half Marathon Race Review”
