I’ve been blogging with WordPress for seven years now but this is the first time that I got to do something with the community, albeit not in the same location per se. And for this year’s Automattic Worldwide WP 5K, I ran in Bonifacio Global City, my favorite location in Metro Manila, Philippines. View this…

That’s A Wrap! My RUPM 2015 Story
Let me start this post by applauding everyone who completed the recent Run United Philippine Marathon! Congratulations! Here’s my look back on this event that brought me back to running a full marathon after more than three years of hiatus!
RUPM 2015 Six-Hour Full Marathon Game Plan
Are you running the full marathon (42.195K) leg of the Run United Philippine Marathon 2015? Are you aiming to finish in six hours the most? If you answered yes to both these questions, feel free to join our pace group tomorrow. Here’s our game plan to accomplish this:
My Extraordinary Weekend at Timberland Heights (Day 02)
I don’t know if I was just tired or my bed was really comfortable, but whatever it is I really didn’t want to get up! But a big day awaits us for our second day of exploring. Here’s the last day of our weekend in Timberland Heights.
My Extraordinary Weekend at Timberland Heights (Day 01)
The month of July closed on a very high note for me as I got to spend the last weekend of the month in one of the most picturesque and refreshing areas around Metro Manila—Timberland Heights. It wasn’t my first time, but I discovered and experienced a lot of new things. Here’s my chronicle of…
Run United 2 (2015): A Pacer’s Story
Another race. Another pacing duty. But for the first time, I’m a bit fazed. I was thinking that I may be biting off more than I can chew.
Bicol Express Chronicles: Mayon Volcano and Her Trails
Our third day in Bicol could be considered the highlight of this trip as we got to see the majestic Mayon Volcano. And we’re coming in for a closer view and experience her trails.
My Longest Race of the Year (So Far): National Geographic Run 2015
It took some time but finally, I was able to do my first half marathon for the year with the National Geographic (NatGeo) Run 2015. And it was anything but the typical half marathon race, at least for a Runrio one. Here’s my story.
Superhero for a Day: A Morning Inside the DC Comics Universe
It’s not every day your get to suit up as your favorite superhero and it’s not every day you see thousands of superheroes in a single location, all running! But that day came, on the day of DC Comics’ 80th anniversary, via the World of DC Comics All-Star Fun Run.
Shoe Review: Maxxed Flight 101
It’s not often that we get to see a Philippine brand go head to head with international ones, particularly with running shoes. And now, a local brand, Maxxed, did just that, and I’m lucky to have a chance to try their flagship model, Flight 101. Here’s my review.
The Old and the New at AmCham ScholaRUN
AmCham ScholaRUN was one of those rare events that came along that gave me the opportunity to be reunited with the folks that I started running with and at the same time encourage new ones to start running. It’s not a big, branded race but it was quite memorable for me.
World of DC Comics All-Star Fun Run
I cannot be more excited when I found out that a DC Comics-licensed fun run is to be held in the country, and it would be a first in Asia! It would be on April 18, 2015 coinciding with the 80th anniversary of DC Comics. And if it’s DC Comics, expect superheroes! Here are the…
