I can’t believe I’m doing this again for the ninth time! Wow! Now I’m counting down the days to my first decade of running and blogging! Thank you so much for still supporting my blog and I look forward to more years of contributing to the running community.
Hello Kitty Run Manila 2017 is perhaps the largest fun run I’ve seen for the year with more than 10,000 participants. It’s also one of the more interesting ones as participants don their costumes and showing their love for Hello Kitty. Here’s my story from the first Hello Kitty run in the Philippines.
One of the perks of being a blogger is that you get to witness some world-class sporting events from behind the scenes and even meet the pros up close and personal. This time around, I’m covering something that is a stranger to me—the world of duathlon via Powerman Philippines 2017.
Australia dominated the recently concluded Powerman Philippines Asian Championships when Thomas Bruins and Matt Smith took the top two spots of the Classic distance. The Philippines’ Miscelle Gilbuena took the crown on the women’s division for the same category. Here are some more of the highlights:
With Proclamation 269, the regular holidays and special (non-working) days for 2018 have been declared in the Philippines. It looks like we have numerous long weekends ahead!
There are still a few things that I’d like to save for posterity from my epic Palawan trip. That includes some interesting sights from Taytay to El Nido, and the little airport as well.
Apulit Island may be small, but three days are still not enough to fully enjoy this paradise. But before we finally depart, there’s just one more “crazy” thing I wanted to do…
For us living north of Metro Manila, the construction of the MRT-7 is a dream come true. Finally, we’re making progress! But this progress comes at a huge cost: the trees of Commonwealth Avenue. It breaks my heart to see all these beautiful trees go. It’s just a matter of time before all of them are…
We only have one full day at Apulit Island so time is of the essence! Gotta do what we gotta do, and this day turned out better than I had anticipated. Here’s our second day at the island.
Since we only have three days to spend, we spared no time and quickly got involved in one of the many activities on the island practically the moment we checked in. Here’s what we did the rest of our first day.
I’ve always enjoyed going to the mountains but it’s been a very long time since my last climb. Probably the closest thing I can do in place of that is a trail run, so I always look forward to Salomon X-Trail Run. Here’s my recap:
Alright! Photos from the recently concluded Salomon X-Trail Run Pilipinas 2017 are starting to be posted online, as well as the initial unofficial race results. See the links below: You may view the unofficial race results here (sorted by race bib number). Also, here are some Facebook pages with photo albums of the event: @salomonphilippines…
