Behind the Scenes: adidas Boost

It was exactly a week ago when adidas Energy Boost™ was formally introduced in the local scene and I was one of the lucky few to get a chance to experience adidas’ latest breakthrough.

I Ran BGC

Races come and go but there are a few that’s more fun than the rest, and Run BGC does belong with those “fun” ones—for the 5K leg at least.  But it doesn’t mean that it didn’t come with some hiccups!  Here’s my Run BGC story.

My First 16.8K Race with adidas King of the Road 2012

The recently concluded adidas King of the Road 2012 is probably the most “international” race in the Philippines so far this year with runners coming from all over the world, one of the most colorful, and has one of the best finisher’s medals.  Here’s the story of my first 16.8K race.

Sleepless in Manila: Completing the Run United Trilogy

The “Afroman” distance of 32K was the highlight of last leg of the Run United Trilogy, and to buy time for some leisure runners of this event, the race was held very early at 3AM!  It’s so early that it was a “no-sleep” race for me.

Excited with my Afro

I’m so excited (or “scared” more appropriate?) with my Run United 3 “Afroman” (32K) race next week (already?!) that my hair started growing fast and started to curl!

BGC’s Newest Playgrounds: Terra 28th and Track 30th

If you’ve seen Bonifacio Global City’s development for the past few years you’ve seen how fast former open spaces have been lost to development, but thankfully BGC is giving back some of those lost grounds with its newest playgrounds: Terra 28th and Track 30th.

Troika

Since my GF405 and I are no longer in good standing, it’s time for me to explore other options.  And I didn’t just found one—I found three at my disposal!

Nike, We Ran Manila!

My first and longest race in more than two months, Nike We Run Manila surely gave me a lot to think about when it comes to my future long distance races.  It was a lot of fun, but it wasn’t as easy as I originally thought it would be!

Scenes from the Nike We Run Manila Race Pack Collection

Today is the first day of claiming Nike We Run Manila race kits, and I’d say I’m impressed that the runners didn’t wait for the last day before claiming their kits as attested by the big turnout even before the collection opened.  Here are some scenes from the first day:

Third Running Anniversary Run at Run United 2

Run United 2 was of dire importance to me because it would serve as my third anniversary race!  I can’t believe it’s already been three years since my debut race, and from that race of less than a thousand participants, my most recent race swelled to a staggering 14,000 attendees!

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.

Good Bye, BGC?

Bonifacio Global City, Bonifacio High Street in particular, had been a runner’s haven for quite some time now, but as its empty lots and the areas around it slowly but surely gets filled up, is it an early sign of good bye?
