I didn’t expect much from myself this time. This was one of those moments when I felt like not running at all. I think I did OK. The results showed that my time was indeed OK but still pretty far from my target of a sub-hour. Anyway, just let me share with you instead someContinue reading “Airspeed, 5 Apr. 2009”

Renegade Runners at the Pink Run, 29 March
After the recently held half-marathon of Condura, I decided not to register for another race on Sunday. I just wanted it an easy run for me that I asked takbo.ph administrator, Jinoe and the love of his life, Que, if I could run with them from their place to Mall of Asia grounds and joinContinue reading “Renegade Runners at the Pink Run, 29 March”
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”
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”
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”
Takbo Para sa Ekonomiya, 18 Jan. 2009
I missed running PSE Bull Run last year. I didn’t wake up on time. And most of my fellow runners raved about it. So, I said to myself, “I will not miss it the second time around.” I registered days before the Christmas holidays. I was told that race bibs and singlets were not yetContinue reading “Takbo Para sa Ekonomiya, 18 Jan. 2009”

License to Run, 7 Dec. 2008
Woke up too early today. Excited? Not, really. Jitters? None. There must be a very good reason why am up early. I’ll be joining the 25th Executive Classic 10k event. This is the country’s only running event that is exclusively for executives, businessmen and professionals. Runnex is celebrating its 25th anniversary run and I don’tContinue reading “License to Run, 7 Dec. 2008”
Isuzu Shake, Rattle and Run, 31 October 2008
Halloween (or Hallowe’en) is not really a typical Filipino tradition. In the 19th century, Irish and Scottish immigrants brought this to North America and was embraced as a holiday celebrated on October 31. It includes activities such as trick-or-treating, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting haunted attractions, carving jack-o’-lanterns, reading scary stories, and watching horrorContinue reading “Isuzu Shake, Rattle and Run, 31 October 2008”
Renegade Runners during the 4th October Run
I was grounded for five days for being sick. Having cough and colds, didn’t stop me from doing my usual practice run. I’ve heard of the October Run but didn’t register. I had to follow Coach Joar’s advice, that is, to rest. I felt better today, so, I stayed at Ruth’s place so we couldContinue reading “Renegade Runners during the 4th October Run”
