Just a few days ago I was celebrating my birthday; yesterday I had another reason to celebrate as my running blog had its first anniversary!

A Jam-Packed Weekend: A Busy Week Ahead
With so many events happening I am having a difficult time catching up on my post. For this week I hope to share with you the events that happened over the weekends: Friday: The Dare to be Fit ‘n Right Fun Run Launch It was an event for all types of bloggers in general but…
Back on the Road: Traversing Metro Manila
It has been a long time since I was running on the road and since I had no race or group runs for the weekend I decided to do one of the routes I’ve long wanted to do: traverse Metro Manila from East to West. Like my first road run along EDSA which followed MRT-3…
In Pictures: Weekend Adventure in Maragondon
Changing pace… finding ourselves an adventure! It involved… It was a unique weekend for us, we did something we don’t usually do, and learned a lot from each other. It was another one of those “team-building” moments that I always look forward to. Hope you guys had an interesting weekend as well! * * *…
A Year Into Running: The Secret to an Ultramarathon
When it comes to running, the last thing on my mind was an ultramarathon—I had an idea how far a marathon is by looking at the route taken by the Milo Marathon which is “just” about 42K, but an ultra, especially 100K, was unimaginable. In fact the first time I’ve heard of the term “ultramarathon”…
Ruined by the Rain, Saved by the Rain: My Wet Weekend
As mentioned in me previous post I was very bored and agitated last Sunday because I wasn’t able to do my early morning long run due to the rain. It was raining at 4:30AM and until 5:30AM there was no sign of it stopping so I had to cancel it. It would be very difficult…
Nostalgia: How Running Has Evolved
It was a lousy weekend. There was no race, I wasn’t able to join my friends’ long run outside the Metro, and even my long run got cancelled due to the rain. Yeah I love the rain—I love it when it pours during your run. When it’s 4:30AM it’s a different story. While I’m savoring…
When Runners Don’t Run: XT
Cross-training (XT) is an activity runners engage in when they’re not running, or to put it in simpler terms, XT is simply doing something else, training-wise. XT allows you to maintain a certain level of activity while your muscles are recovering so that the rest of your body has a time to catch up making…

Freedom Climb Chronicles (Part 2: Day One, Assault to Base Camp)
Half past nine in the morning at the jump off point of Pico de Loro: the group was complete and set for the climb. A steep incline immediately greets us and although not that difficult it was a nice welcome. The trails of Pico de Loro were very nice. Despite being a very popular trekking…
Self-Reward for Finishing TNF100: My New Gear
One of the best things about finishing a grueling race was having a reason to treat yourself and getting away with a little splurging. Since I’m in the market for a new pair of solemates and I can get away with going a little overboard I finally decided to give in and get myself a…
Extreme Weekend Adventure at Mt. Maculot
Friday, straight from the office, I, together with eight of my friends, met up in Buendia for our weekend getaway. It was our first trekking adventure together so we were naturally excited. Unbeknownst to us that this getaway would be more than just a typical climb—it would be an extreme adventure! I’ll admit that…
