Lusso.

With rains pouring in on our long weekend, some of the best things to do are stay indoors and eat good food—slow down and appreciate the things around us.  Every once in a while, it’s nice to savor the finer luxuries in life, and for me one of those luxuries I enjoy most are food.

Thelma

Finally, a local film inspired by our beloved sport, running!  This movie is entitled “Thelma” and is inspired by the stories of true Filipino athletes who were discovered in the province, and fought their way to represent the Philippines in the world stage. “Thelma” is the first full-length feature film production of Time Horizon Pictures.  It…

Work Hard, Run Longer

Just as when all hope seems gone, a silver lining appears out of nowhere—I was totally convinced of a raceless weekend, but behold!  I found myself part of the almost 14,000 runners that ran last weekend’s Run United 2!

The Joy of Running in the Rain

This is probably the only way I can describe the video below, scenes from the 35th National MILO® Marathon Manila Eliminations.  I posted it here to motivate me (and hopefully, others) whenever rain pours on my (our) runs.  Too bad I missed the water therapy. 🙂

All Work, No Play

In a perfect world, or at least in an ideal world, we’d be able to do all the things we love.  But in the real world there are those times when we sometimes have to skip the things we want in order to do the things that we have to—and for many of us, it’s…

Baguio City Quickie

What’s crazier than driving up and down Baguio City from Metro Manila for a day tour?  It’s doing it all over again!  We did it once, and last weekend was able to do it again.

Weather You Like It Or Not

Crazy.  That’s probably how many of us may describe the weather these past few days.  One day it’s raining cats and dogs, then sunny as summer the next… if you’re not ready you may easily get sick.  Fortunately for me, I didn’t find myself soaking in the rain while running—because unfortunately, I missed running entirely!

The Race That Didn’t Let Me Down: Rexona Run 2011

SM Mall of Asia was again host to another major running event, the Rexona Run 2011, which was one of the biggest races in the country lately.  Aside from serving as a preview to half of the following MILO Marathon route, the race was also a ticket to more adventures, and the debut of new…

I Should Be In Boracay!

As I write this post I should have already been in the Philippines’ premier beach destination, Boracay, but instead I’m at a Korean fast food, sulking with their hot and spicy fish fillet—all because my much awaited vacation was cancelled!

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes!

Shoes are probably the only piece of equipment that running entails—and strictly speaking, even that is optional!  After more than two years of running, here’s how my shoe collection looked like.

Shoe Review: adidas CC Ride

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!
