Finally after several days of running abstinence I was able to get back to running, despite the sub-zero (°C) temperature. It’s still winter here in Ohio and although we don’t have several inches of snow on the ground we barely break 0°C during daytime, in fact the warmest temperature we’ve had these past few days…

My First 21K: Carbon-loading from MRT to MoA
Today I finally did two things that I really wanted to do: Run along EDSA and do my first half-marathon—all this first day of February. Inspired by Team Bald Runner’s runabout in EDSA (Pasay City to Monumento) and motivated by GF405 I finally amassed some guts to finally do it, even if I had to…

Before December I had set a goal of reaching my first 100K this year but back then it was mathematically impossible because of the…

It was like yesterday when I was still dreaming of putting up a blog site for my newly-found love, running. Now, I am celebrating my blog site runningpinoy’s first month! I originally targeted to launch this site on my birthday last November 07 but due to some “technical difficulties” I was formally able to launch…
