Friday Night: Carbo Loading Party and Pacers Orientation Going to Quezon City was quite difficult, especially, on a Friday night. Thanks to Neil a.k.a. Crash Burn for the ride. But who would like to miss this event? It took me sometime to post this entry, as I myself was quite overwhelmed that night. For me,Continue reading “The QCIM Experience: Let’s Pace It!”

Perfect Pacing and Marathon Angst
Leading the pack of half-marathon runners? This is the same question I’ve been asking myself countless of times ever since I accepted the challenge to be one of the official pacers for the 1st Quezon City International Marathon. Not an easy feat considering that it will be my first time to be a pacer inContinue reading “Perfect Pacing and Marathon Angst”

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?”

If we really try to see beyond the negative things, we see a much improved and innovative race organizing. RunContinue reading “Runners Help Build Homes”
Third Milo Race, Third 21K
Didn’t have enough preparation for the half marathon race. On top of that the weather the previous week didn’t cooperate. It rained when it was time to have a practice run. But that didn’t deter me at all. Friday night, I had to meet Queenie to get my road ID but ended up in aContinue reading “Third Milo Race, Third 21K”
Condura 2009: Skyway Conquered
Condura mania was really in the air. A total of 6,243 runners registered in this race. In my previous post, I mentioned my goals for this run. First, to have fun. Second, to beat my Adidas KOTR Personal Record (PR). Third, to reach the finish line. Did I achieve all of them? Definitely, a YESContinue reading “Condura 2009: Skyway Conquered”
