Gear Review: Soleus GO!

Not another fitness band!  Surely fitness bands are everywhere, coming in all forms and sizes, but I never thought that I’d be practically inseparable from this seemingly humble device that is the Soleus GO.

I Saw The Sign!

Look at this sign I found somewhere in Bonifacio Global City

Weekend at Puerto Galera

Summer will not be complete without at least one visit to the beach.  Boracay would be the obvious choice for many, but since all flights are fully booked (which means the little island would be crowded, which I hate), we didn’t bother dreaming of going there.  Instead, we decided to go to the much closer…

Back on the Trails of Hamilo Coast: Salomon XTrail Run

After a long time of hiatus from joining races, I finally got back.  And it was Salomon XTrail Run that got me back on my feet for my first race of the year.  I can’t say no when Salomon invited me, and I can’t miss the chance of running in one of my favorite places…

This is part of a…

No Wonder Everybody Drives in California!

As a runner, I always make it a point to know a “new place” on foot.  But as I got to know a piece of California better, I soon realized why everybody drives in here.

Highlights of 2013

2013 is one interesting but very challenging year for me.  I’ve had lots of ups and downs, but looking back I can’t say that I have any regrets.  And if I had to pick just 10 as highlights of my year, this list would be it.  In no particular order, they are: Bohol + Cebu…

Extraordinary Cavinti

A few weeks ago, this little known place in Laguna called Cavinti held its first organized trail race.  Until this race, I’ve never heard of this place.  And after this race, Cavinti is a place I won’t soon forget. The little known town of Cavinti is a third class municipality in the province of Laguna. …

Shoe Review: World Balance Topnotcher

World Balance is a familiar footwear brand in the Philippines dating back years that if you grew up in the country, chances are you had tried their pair at least once when you were a kid (including myself).  World Balance is known for providing reasonably-priced footwear for different audiences but not the running segment—until recently.
