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...
Travel and Run at the Sand Dunes of La Paz
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. ...
New Balance Power Race 2009: Another Tough 21K
Whenever there is McKinley Hill in the race route, I know I’d be in for a tough run. Previously, I could easily conquer it without stopping for a 10K or 15 route. But this time, the New Balance Power Race gives us the hill at 21K. Last year, NB...
Product Feature: Adidas Climacool
I used to be contented with using the singlets from races for my practice runs. I still have some of my singlets from 2006. But that changed when I started using tech shirts. You’d know the difference when you wear one. Most of them help you keep dry or...
Philippines International Marathon: Hep Hep Relay
The Philippine International Marathon was my first race ever last 2006. It was held in February then. This year, Quennie and I joined the PIM as a relay team with Team Logan. The team was completed at the last minute but 40 runners signed up. The relay was broken...
Book Review: Running Well
More than half of my book collections were soaked and submerged in the flood during Ondoy. My collections of Pugad Baboy, Philip Yancey, Howard Gardner, Readers Digests and Good Housekeeping magazines were gone. Good thing, I have another shelf upstairs for my running books. Here is one running book...
Product Review: Road ID Elite
One safety tip is to bring some kind of identification whenever you run. We have to admit that the road we love to run with can be a dangerous place. You’ll never know when problems strikes. An ID can help save your life if anything happens. This is where...
Dream Run #3: Bacolod to Silay
Everytime I go home to Negros Occidental, I always find a new route for a long run. Usually, it will be a run from one town to another and trying to discover the town by foot. You’d never know what you will discover. Previously, I did a run from...
