I think everyone will agree with me when I say that racing these days is getting quite expensive. When I started racing more than two years ago, it was still practical to race every weekend, but lately you’d have to get some dough to do that! With a number of races having registration fees going…

The Tales from the Valley Trail (Challenge)
I’ve ran onto the routes of Nuvali before, both on and off-road, and honestly I find it a bit boring especially when compared to natural trails of the mountains—until Valley Trail came along! It was a race with a lot of firsts, including my first DNF!
“Cross-Dressing”
By all means I’m not a shoe expert (nor is claiming to be) but I was asked lately by a woman if she could wear men’s shoes. It’s not much of a vanity reason; it’s just that her feet are bigger than the typical women’s shoe sizes—a problem that apparently the local market fails to…
Makati Route #2
I guess I wasn’t that satisfied with my first Makati-based run so the following night I was again out on the streets and seeking a new route. This time around it’s a notch longer and ending on a different spot.
New Work, New Shoes, New Route
It felt like eternity since my last run with my GF, about 20 days to be exact. With all the hassles of changing work, turnovers, countless meetings, transferring to a new office location, settling down and getting oriented with my new job, and all the nitty gritties in between, I found it very difficult to…
Season Finale
As the calendar’s page turn from May to June, a huge chapter of my life closes as well. It’s one of the most memorable chapters of my life, more than three years in the making, and one that bore witness to my huge transformation—from a regular office folk to a sports and health enthusiast!
40.5 Mile Robot Ultramarathoner
Can you walk 40.5 miles in 30 hours? Well, this robot can!
Shopping for Labels
It’s been a very long while since I last shopped for shoes. My most recent two pairs were sponsored and won in a raffle, so I admit that I really do miss that feeling! I guess it’s what some would call “shopping therapy.”
Picture of the Week
What would happen if one of your favorite shoe brand gives 24% discount on all their items, including their latest shoes? Madness. 😀
Brooks Run Happy :)
For runners, running is all sorts of different things, and most likely making them happy is one of them. And what would make runners, “happy runners?” Joining a “happy” fun run of course!
Holey Moley!
Do you invest in your running attire? Don’t you just love wearing tops that you explicitly bought for running and not that free one from an event you joined? Now then, could you imagine putting holes in them?
Visita Iglesia 2011
Visita Iglesia (Spanish: Church Visits) is the tradition of visiting seven churches on Holy Thursday as penance. Some people expand it to 14 churches with each one representing the Stations of the Cross. For this year I decided to start including this in my Holy Week habit but unfortunately I didn’t know that it should be on a Thursday, so ended up doing it on a Saturday, with an unexpected extra two churches!
