Next Race: 32nd National Milo Marathon Finals
Just before November ends another great race is upon us, none other than “the country’s premier running event” (quote) the Milo Marathon. This event indeed has bragging rights to say so because it probably is the most participated running event in the country. I registered today myself and a friend (last day of registration) for…

Nike Run Clinic Session 03
It was another great running session at the Ultra. I can’t really say it was more difficult although the activities were definitely more than the previous sessions. The warm-up routine was longer: 2K (5-laps around the oval) followed by stretching exercises, butt kicks still included with new routines added. The main activity (for our group)…

Running Log: Unicef’s Walk on the Child’s Side
This was another very well organized race I’ve joined and one that had a very good race course. It had a lot of sponsors and one of the biggest races I’ve been in terms of participant. It was my first time running in McKinley Hill so I don’t know what to expect, I just looked…
Running Log: Race for Life
This was my second Saturday race (the first being adidas King of the Road) and the first without an official race singlet/shirt. I was really surprised by the huge turnout of this race. This simply proves that amount of freebies (or lack of) deter runners from joining a race. Being a fundraiser it was justified…
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…
Another Busy Weekend
This weekend is going to be another busy one. First off is the Nike Running Clinic which is tonight at Nike Bonifacio High Street. I tried cancelling my registration for tonight but the system says that it should be done 48 hours before the schedule, so there’s still no free slot for tonight. Tonight’s session…
Nike Running Clinic Day One: Assessment
The Nike Running Clinic has formally started. Unlike the classroom-like session of the orientation, last night’s session makes you feel like an athlete, well, sort of, because the session was held in the Ultra oval. Plus you have real coaches to assist you and answer your questions. I got to Ultra past 7pm (I walked…
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…
Nike Running Clinic Day Zero: Orientation
The orientation for the running clinic was held at the Brent Gym inside the Ultra premises last Friday, November 14, 2008 and was mainly hosted by Coach Rio dela Cruz. It was my first time inside Ultra so I was a bit surprised at the condition of the gym: it was a bit run down…
