Mission Accomplished: Run United 1 (2015) 60-Minute 10K Pacer Duty

I had just returned from a wonderful pacer duty as I write this post and I think I can still feel that “runner’s high.”  Did not set any new personal best.  Did not take home that enviable Run United 1 Finisher’s Medal.  But I feel great!  Here’s my story.

A Perfect 10 (Miles)

It’s the New Year and what better way to jumpstart the year than with a run?  And what’s great is that I got to start it with Takbo.ph’s event, running the 10-mile leg.  Here’s my story of this delightful race.

Together, 24/7? The Case of Wearable Fitness Trackers

Shoe Review: Mizuno Wave Rider 17

Mizuno is a Japanese sports equipment more popularly known in golf but is gradually gaining traction in the local running scene.  On this post I take a closer look at the 17th incarnation of the Wave Rider.

The Power of Race Photos and Results

There was a time when race results merely tell a runner’s official time and photos merely serve as souvenir of an event.  These days, these two combined do much, much more than that. Back during my early days of joining races (circa 2008-2009), a race result is a mere list of names and their respective…
