One of the best feelings after doing a marathon is “guilt-free” eating! After burning thousands of calories, you practically have the right to eat anything you want, and given this fact and we were in Cebu, one of the best ways to get back those lost calories is with Cebu’s famous Zubu Chon Lechon!
I would like to thank Ms. Tessa Prieto-Valdes for mentioning my post and blog about Timex Run (yes, the one with Piolo!) on her article “Fireworks with the Dragon, Katy Perry and Piolo Pascual” on last Sunday’s Lifestyle section of the Philippine Daily Inquirer. It was an unexpected but pleasant surprise which I really appreciate!…
All good things come to an end, and after an interesting side trip to Hong Kong it’s time for us to return to Macau, and later on, back home.
Our China Special Administrative Region (SAR) tour would of course not be complete if we didn’t visit the other SAR, Hong Kong. For our third day, we were up early to temporarily say goodbye to Macau, and say hello to Hong Kong.
I’m not just making this up or saying this figuratively, really did ran with Mr. Piolo Pascual and Coach Rio dela Cruz, literally! This was during this weekend’s Timex Run 2012 which was one of my most memorable and fun races of all time.
Do you already have the latest issue of Runner’s World Magazine Philippines? The latest one is a “Marathon Special” and aside from getting the magazine, you also get an arm band to place your gadget when you run—for still the same regular price of ₱150. But I’m actually more interested in that special feature about…
Cebu City Marathon 2011 holds my record for my fastest marathon so breaking my course record would also mean a new personal best—what a pressure! On a lighter note, merely completing CCM will finally take me across my first 3,000 kilometers. Will I be able to break my previous record, or will I just break…
After running a full marathon you’d expect that we’d just stay in our rooms to rest, but no way! We’re in Macau in some very cool, nice weather so rest will have to wait! Here’s where our feet took us some time after our races.
One of my most eagerly awaited event to jumpstart my year has arrived, the Cebu City Marathon. Flying in on a Saturday afternoon gave me just enough time to claim my kit, do my last grocery shopping, and eat all I can—wait, uhm, yeah, eat all I can!
The holidays are meant to be spent with our beloved ones and even us who are friends with the road and blogging are no exception, so before we bade goodbye to the year that was, we had our petite but delightful gathering. Our “Christmas Party” may be simple and was even set after Christmas, but…
December 04, 2011, the day of my second marathon outside the Philippines and my first road race below 15°c. I could’ve come more prepared but things don’t always happen according to plan so the goal was simple: to have fun and finish within cutoff!
Merry Christmas everyone! One of the happiest seasons of the year is here, and because of this I thought of fast-forwarding this chronicle to our day at the “happiest place” on Earth, Disneyland!
