It was an interesting weekend for me together with the guys of takbo.ph for our first trail adventure. Rene (JazzRunner) was kind enough to give us a tour of the trails of Montalban and experience firsthand the magnificent sights and breath-taking trails of this wonderful place. This event was also made possible with the help…

Night Run: Ortigas to BHS
It was another rainy run for me last night. Like with my previous night run I had only a few hours to spare so I wasn’t able to be much more creative with my run last night. At first I was a bit worried that the downpour might be too strong to run into but…
My Greenfield City Run Story
Greenfield City was an unknown place to me prior to this run. All I know was that is was in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, and that’s about it, and this run became my introductory. This run was also my first “regular” race outside Metro Manila—it’s usually trail runs that take me out of the city and…
Night Run: Ortigas – McKinley Hill – BHS via C5
Summer in Metro Manila is anything but pleasing for running—it’s hot and humid. Not only do you need to worry about your run you also have to think of protecting yourself from the sun so here comes running extra early, putting on sunblocks, wearing protective clothing like visors or caps, sunglasses, etc. I personally don’t…
LSD: Commonwealth to BHS via Katipunan – C5
My first LSD on a weekday and on a double holiday (Maundy Thursday and Araw ng Kagitingan), this route is basically an alternate way for me from home to work, and also towards the place where I fell in love with running—Bonifacio Global City. This is my first time to run this route so it…
Condura Run 21K: My Half-Marathon Debut and the Making of a Running Bandit
The Condura Run last Sunday was easily one of the best races of the year not only for its historic SkyWay route but also in terms of how well it was organized. To the organizers, especially to the running brothers Patrick and Ton Concepcion, thank you for making this great race possible and congratulations for…
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…
My EDSA Tour: GF405 Perspective
Here are the GF405 data I accumulated during my carbon-loading at EDSA last Sunday: Satellite imagery courtesy of Google. As you can see running on “real roads” really tests GF405’s features better than just running on tracks or race courses. And with these tests we can all see that as great a product GF405 is,…
Happy Run with My New GF
The Happy Run was my first regular race with my new GF—GF405 that is. The race turnouts for all categories were very good but since it was handled by Coach Rio everything was in order, another well organized race from Runrio. The weather was quite cooperative too, it didn’t rain and it was cooler than…
TNF Thrill of the Trail Experience, Part 2
TNF Thrill of the Trail was held January 19, 2009 within the premises of Evercrest Golf Resort in KM 72, Batulao, Nasugbu, Batangas. It’s basically a loop around some very good and challenging trails, with the 20K having two laps of the approximately 10K loop.
TNF Thrill of the Trail Experience, Part 1
It was truly an amazing race! I just returned home from one of the best races I’ve ever had! I have so many stories to share so please bear with me until I’ve compiled the pictures and completed writing about it. I’ll share it here even if it takes on an installment basis. 🙂
Race Update 03: TNF Thrill of the Trail
I just got my race kit for this race last night from R.O.X. It includes a race bib, a singlet, and a course map with some race information…
