Who would have expected I get a complimentary 21km race kit considering registration for this particular distance had closed in just two days? Well, lucky enough to get a slot through Que and Jinoe, Takbo.ph site owners, who registered me in this race. I was one of the 5,000 runners for the half marathon aloneContinue reading “Run United 1 Finisher, 16 March 2014”

Running in the Wee Hours of the Morning
“No way could I make it at 11 PM,” this was my thought while inside a cab on my way to Mall of Asia (MOA).

What Happens After an Ultramarathon?
I felt so fine right after I finished running an ultramarathon. In fact, I walked and could even go up and down the stairs (without limping) like as if I didn’t run quite a long distance one weekend.

Running Calamba City to Sta. Cruz, Laguna
It all started with an invite from Joseph aka Prince asking me to join a long run in Laguna together with some Takbo.ph runners. I decided to go for two reasons. First, it fitted my marathon training schedule. Second, though I’ve visited some of Laguna’s municipalities before, it was a good chance to see andContinue reading “Running Calamba City to Sta.

The Baguio Race: a Chilly WonderRun
L-R: Bryan, Mon, yours truly, Ellen (won 9th place), Carlo, and Judah New Balance was supposed to be my last race for the year. But being asked by Ellen a.k.a.
