What makes a feel good race?
How do we evaluate if a race was good or not? After every race, we read comments or blogs about how it was organized. Positive comments, negative comments, ratings of races and more. I refrained from giving my own ratings already. I’d rather talk about the race and the...

My Longest Training Run: Good vs Evil
I had my farthest distance in a training last Wednesday. Ideally, they advice to run until 32K only or 20 miles when you practice for a full marathon. They say it should be enough. But I remember Bards aka BananaRunning told me to push it as close to 42K...
A Book On Running and A Spiritual Journey
I got an email last week from Dr. Lani Relucio. I don’t know her before but she emailed to send me complementary copies of her book, “Running the Millionaire Lane: A Novice Runner’s Spiritual Journey in the Material World“. That is a long title for a book. Sounds like...
Product Review: Lock Laces
I blogged about acrobatic dive during the Adidas King of the Road where I tripped over my shoelaces, fell down on the road and took some bruises. After that, I learned to tidy my shoelaces by tucking them in or by tying them twice. But by tucking the shoelaces...

Singapore Experience: The Half Marathon
Quennie and I tried to sleep early the night before the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon. We always sleep late before the race. I was still checking the map on how to go to the starting line. Do we take the train? the bus? the cab? Or do we just walk...
We had a blast at Singapore!!!
We just finished the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon. Quennie and I crossed the finish line at 2:33 for the 21K. A bit off our target but it was still a great run. Wow. We sure learned a lot of things on how to conduct a race as good as...

While most of us were running the New Balance Power Race last November 29, Rene aka Jazzrunner and three other Takbo.ph runners were in Laoag for the Run Ahead, Raising the Roof Race. Looks like these guys had a great time in Laoag with all the travel and test...
Travel Smart and Run Smarter
Because of running, I have more reasons to travel. I don’t want to be in a new place without getting a chance to run on it. I even find it acceptable to have missed swimming in Boracay last April but never missed to run a 10K along the shores. ...
