RunningPinoy’s MRT Tour Wins Y-Trip DIY Tour Competition: Last Night at R.O.X.
Most of those who were in R.O.X. last night probably didn’t realize that there were two simultaneous sessions that happened: Running Aid 2009 (Part 1) by the Pinoy Ultra Runners held at the ground floor, and Backpacking Pilipinas 5: The Beach in You by Youth Trip Philippines (YTRiP) held at the Core Room (3rd floor)….
Weekend LSD: Commonwealth Run
It has been a while since my last LSD and this time around I got to run one of my most anticipated locations: Commonwealth Ave. It was a long overdue run that was held back because of a lot of events and this time I got to finally execute the plan into action. That LSD…
More Interesting Finds
Yesterday we managed to go to Dick’s Sporting Goods at Easton Town Center to find some sporting goods we can take back to the Philippines. The store reminds me of R.O.X. in the Philippines except that it’s at least four times as large and it’s not exclusive to outdoor sporting goods. Our timing may have…
Interesting Finds
We’ve all probably heard of sports drinks and energy drinks, power bars and gels, and the like but I’ve never heard of an energy shot. Yes it’s pretty close to an energy drink but I’ve never heard of any energy drink in the Philippines that claim several hours of “kick.” Here in Ohio I actually…
runningpinoy OFW?
The longest travel time I’ve ever had to endure, after more than 17 hours, 4 airports, 2 plane types, and an International Date Line crossing, I finally arrived at my destination: Columbus, Ohio. I’ll be spending sometime here for business, and for leisure I intend to continue running, even if it’s still winter, especially now…
Air Max Burger Anyone?
Olle Hemmendorff together with 7 other creatives/designers/photographers/artists were commissioned by Nike to interpret 8 Nike Sportswear icons. He chose Air Max 90, and according to him: “In the tradition of material innovation of AM 90, I constructed a running shoe using the most powerful, most durable and most delicious material known to man: hamburger.” I…
Another Marathon: Movie Marathon?!
It’s a very long weekend here in the Philippines, December 25, 2008 to January 02, 2009 being a series of legal and special holidays—that’s eight days of no work to think about! There are no more races left the year and the yuletide mood seems to direct us to parties and eating, so what activities…
The Bests of 2008
2008 was a pretty short year for me running-wise since I started on the third quarter already, but despite the relative short span I do have my favorites for the year: Best 5K Race: Nokia Recycle your Phone and Run First it was free, it had a very good cause, very well organized, and had…
Christmas Wish List
Christmas is just around the corner, the season of gift-giving and sharing; and of course receiving gifts especially unexpected ones are really pleasing. Who wouldn’t want to receive gifts this season? If you were to ask me what I want for Christmas here’s my wish list: Garmin Forerunner® 405 Number one in my wish list,…
Runner’s Horoscope
From Lonerunner’s blog (just for fun, not to be taken seriously): Scorpio23 Oct-21 Nov Symbol: ScorpionElement: Water You will register 8 runners but only 5 will pay you. Tip: Try not to register runners under the sign Virgo. By coincidence perhaps or by fate this has actually happened to me! I was really laughing about…
Scenes from Men’s Health Urbanathlon
Urbanathlon was one of the “fun” races we’ve been in (we jokingly refer to as “cross-training”) because this was one of the few races that we didn’t really look at the time—we just enjoyed ourselves going through the obstacles. We registered as a group, although we didn’t really need to, but that made it more…
