The first time I set foot in Vigan was in 2005. That visit gave me the opportunity to see places where Vigan is famous for. One of them is the cobblestoned street of Calle Crisologo, considered UNESCO’s World Heritage Site.My interest was reignited when a fun run, which coincided with the Binatbatan Festival, was postedContinue reading “Running the 1st Viva Vigan Heritage Run”

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. Reaching the activity area, I saw a good number of runners already. While waiting forContinue reading “A Weekend with Back-to-back Races”
Another 1000KM is Reached
And what better way to celebrate it, running with buddies during my practice run at Mall of Asia grounds last April 13, Tuesday. Not another kilometer shirt for me but a simple recognition of my feet for allowing me to run this far. I look forward to achieving not another 1000KM but more kilometers toContinue reading “Another 1000KM is Reached”
Infinity Run: Did You Beat Your Time?

Paa-bilisan 21k in Baguio, 28 March
Every time there’s an invite to run in Baguio City, and as long as it goes well with my schedule, I do try to join, and most often consider it as practice run. When you’re in Baguio, its running event is totally a different experience, especially, when you’re from Manila. With its thin altitude, difficultContinue reading “Paa-bilisan 21k in Baguio, 28 March”
Globe Run for Home 2010
Globe Run for Home 2009 was my best half marathon time. Last month, I aimed to beat it but the new race route and the extra distance stopped me from getting a new PR. I was running late. Well, almost. While running Makati Avenue, on my way to the race venue, I was thinking, “howContinue reading “Globe Run for Home 2010”
Random Thoughts on Bataan Death March 102-kilometer Ultra Marathon
I’m no ultra marathon runner. Not yet. But who knows? I’m no historian either. But I love knowing our history. So, I took a trip in 2001 going to Bataan and visited Dambana ng Kagitingan also known as the Shrine of Valor. It is atop Mt. Samat in Pilar, Bataan, a shrine to commemorate theContinue reading “Random Thoughts on Bataan Death March 102-kilometer Ultra Marathon”

One Down, Two More to Go
Approaching Finish Line I almost panicked upon hearing Lupang Hinirang being played while I was getting off from the taxi. I quickly scanned the venue for the location of the baggage area. “My, I’m late,” I said to myself. But I knew I had enough time before I left my place. How come the raceContinue reading “One Down, Two More to Go”
