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”

A Tribute to All Women
In the Philippines, the passage of the following laws during the term of President Corazon, the first Filipino woman president, serves as legal bases for the celebration of the National Women’s Day/Month: • Proclamation No. 224, “Declaring the First Week of March of Every Year as Women’s Week and March 8, 1988 and Every YearContinue reading “A Tribute to All Women”
A Prelude to Condura: Addicted to LSD, 8 Mar. 2009
It was an invite by takbo.ph administrator which compelled me to go for LSD. LSD, not the hallucinogen, stands for Long Slow Distance, the practice of running longer distances at an easy pace rather than shorter ones to exhaustion (Runner’s World). The slower pace allows one to gain more fitness. It was a timely invitationContinue reading “A Prelude to Condura: Addicted to LSD, 8 Mar. 2009”
R and B and Running
Rihanna … Beyonce … Rhythm and blues … Nope. It’s not about music. But of reading, blogging, and running. I am a great fan of Reader’s Digest and National Geographic magazine. I can still remember so well … that one fateful day at a university library … when I happened to reading the story ofContinue reading “R and B and Running”
DocFit: Takbo Para sa Puso, 1 Mar. 2009
I also signed up for DocFit race when I registered for the 15k event of RUNew at the Nike Store in Bonifacio High Street. I decided to since I missed running DocFit last year and most of my fellow runners raved about it. The Night Before the Race … Once again, a classic excuse, IContinue reading “DocFit: Takbo Para sa Puso, 1 Mar. 2009”
RUNew, 22 Feb. 2009
I really didn’t prepare much for this run. For two reasons. My body was tired. I only had one short run during the week and the rest of the days were spent resting either thru reading or having a DVD movie marathon. I also slept late the night before the race. The main culprit? AnContinue reading “RUNew, 22 Feb. 2009”
Aging Antidote
Two weeks ago, I had a long run with a running group. They usually have long runs near Mall of Asia and Cultural Center of the Philippines areas. They run regularly on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and even on Sundays. There are more than five of them whose ages I couldn’t really guess. They call themselvesContinue reading “Aging Antidote”
Power Run, 15 Feb. 2009
The day before the race, I was invited for a long run but I declined. I heeded the advice of my coaches not to run. They told me it would greatly affect my time or performance during the race. “Another 15k. Another Personal Record (PR) to beat. Down by at least three minutes from yourContinue reading “Power Run, 15 Feb. 2009”
Jogger vs. Runner
I have been asked countless of times the difference between jogging and running. An interesting question. In fact, I even asked one of the running masters about these two terminologies. The difference, I was told, lies in the number of minutes per kilometer. It means, you are a runner if you have a pacingContinue reading “Jogger vs. Runner”
