My First 32K at Run United 3
True, I already did ultramarathons in the past, but this year’s Run United 3 was my first ever 32K race. Unfortunately though I came to race partially injured because I had thought I’d missed it.
Shoes, Shoes, Shoes!
Shoes are probably the only piece of equipment that running entails—and strictly speaking, even that is optional! After more than two years of running, here’s how my shoe collection looked like.
Travel Junkie
The love for travel must be in my blood as I suddenly realized, without much effort, that I had scheduled a travel practically every month for the second half of the year, both local and international! And of course most of these revolve around the sport I love, running.
Half Marathon, Full Fun: The Yamaha Run for Heroes Chronicles
At long last I was finally able to get back to regular racing, and staging this comeback was with the Yamaha Run for Heroes held last July 03, 2011 at Bonifacio Global City. it may “just” be a half-marathon, but it was a race of different caliber.

Adobo for Halloween
At long last, the fun of Halloween was brought back to runners with a Halloween night run, thanks to Adobo Run. This would be my VFF Sprint’s first race, and one of the most fun!

Bohol Island Tour
For the second day of our tour, the island of Bohol itself is our destination. It doesn’t sound very exciting, until we actually had the tour. And here’s how our second day of touring transpired:
A Surreal World: Fireflies Kayaking at Abatan River
Kayaking has always been my favorite activity on water. As a runner who is used to going places, a kayak is my best friend on water as it allows me to do as such, like a bike on land. While I may not own one personally, I never miss the opportunity whenever I had the…
The Great Visayan Adventure (Preview)
After five days and five nights in Bohol and Cebu, it’s now back to reality. With tons of photos and a few videos to process, not to mention heaps of emails to read and respond to (both from work, media relations, personal messages, etc.) I can’t begin to imagine how to start sharing those wonderful…
