CIHM Finisher (4th : 2014 : Corregidor Island, Cavite City)

Late post but still wishing everyone a blessed 2014! On Joining and FinishingContinue reading “CIHM Finisher (4th : 2014 : Corregidor Island, Cavite City)”

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.  Though I’ve been to Bohol a couple of times many years before,Continue reading “Bohol Sandugo Panglao Half Marathon Finisher”

I Shall Return 50K Ultramarathon 2013 Finisher

Two years have passed since last ultramarathon race, which was the Bataan Death March (BDM) 102-km race.  I found myself wanting to go back and do another ultramarathon.  While searching online sometime in June, I chanced upon a link of an ultramarathon to be staged in Tacloban City.  I’ve never been to this part of the country sinceContinue reading “I Shall Return 50K Ultramarathon 2013 Finisher”

A Slice of Humor from the Oatmeal (Runner)

Note: From The Oatmeal. (2013).   Retrieved 16 July 2013 from  http://theoatmeal.com/comics/running I love to eat instant or quick oats either for breakfast or dinner.  Little did I know until a friend and a fellow runner, Master Eo as I fondly call him, gave this link leading to discovery of an Oatmeal site, but thenContinue reading “A Slice of Humor from the Oatmeal (Runner)”

Photoholic Baguio and Panagbenga 2013

I have been to Baguio quite a number of times that I knew my way around there.  Thanks to previous races and visits.  These really helped.   When running became a top priority, singing with the choir took a backseat.  Thus, it has been a while since the last time I saw some of my choirmates.  I recompensedContinue reading “Photoholic Baguio and Panagbenga 2013”
