Every one’s in a while, a shoe comes along that breaks the monotony of stereotype and blurs the line between performance and fashion. The adidas ClimaCool Ride is one such shoe, but with its good looks, can it also perform? I was on the lookout for a good daily shoe that can also double as…

Yamaha’s Delivery Express!
I am just flabbergasted on how fast my finisher’s medal for the Yamaha Run for Heroes arrived: within hours! I can’t believe such feats were possible, particularly here in the Philippines!
Travel Junkie
The love for travel must be in my blood as I suddenly realized, without much effort, that I had scheduled a travel practically every month for the second half of the year, both local and international! And of course most of these revolve around the sport I love, running.
Half Marathon, Full Fun: The Yamaha Run for Heroes Chronicles
At long last I was finally able to get back to regular racing, and staging this comeback was with the Yamaha Run for Heroes held last July 03, 2011 at Bonifacio Global City. it may “just” be a half-marathon, but it was a race of different caliber.
Running on Credits
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!
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!

Boston, Massachusetts is thousands of miles away from Manila, but the running highs that were set during the recent Boston Marathon were so contagious I can feel it all the way here! The highlight of the event of course was the 2:03:02 time set by Kenya’s Geoffrey Mutai—the world’s fastest ever, but not the world…
A Night to Remember: Takbo.ph Nightfest
It was one of those oh so rare Saturday night events that I dare not miss—I can have my long sleep after a Friday nightlife, be reunited once again with friends I missed for so long, and be able to run on a new place. Nothing beats the charm of running in a new place,…
A Very, Very G.O.O.D. Run
Exactly one week to this date, I’ve had a very, very good run with the G.O.O.D. Run—a race that I knew would be good, but far surpassed my expectations.
Fun Back in the Run: The Hyundai Fun Run Chronicles
It’s been a while since I’ve run in Roxas Blvd., much more run a race with no expectations—just for the pleasure of having fun while running, and Hyundai was able to bring that with its first fun run.
Lucky 8: Globe Run for Home 2011 Chronicles
Time flies when you’re having fun… and also when you’re busy! I’ve been so preoccupied with lots of different things that before I knew it, it was already the weekend of Globe Run for Home! To make things more “interesting,” I’ll be doing 21K—the distance that I least like.
