Thursday, August12, 2010. After four consecutive crazy days of overtime at the office this creature needed a break. Yes, sitting down in front of a computer for hours on end is tiring especially if your brain does all the toiling. After calling it a day I figured, “it’s a nice night to run.” Of course…

A Hot and Wet Weekend
Unrested but not restless—that’s my weekend. A very hot Saturday matched with a wet Sunday. Hot Saturday at Nestea Fit Camp Hot We’ve been aware of Camp Hot since its first week but we’re too preoccupied doing everything else to give it a try until last Saturday. It started with a casual online chat about…
2nd BDM Ultramarathon 102 (Part 3: First Half)
March 6, 2010, 9AM, our team met in a parking ground in BHS for Bataan. Aside from the slow traffic that greeted us on our way to North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) everything was good and it had that “summer outing” feeling. It was somehow, especially when many of us met in the resort we were…
Run Free—Like Crazy?!
Have you ever thought of running like you used to when you were a child—no schedules, no pace, no distance, no pressure—just pure clean fun? I was lucky enough to have a chance at that last night at Bonifacio Global City (BGC) during my long run. I was pretty bored of the typical Bonifacio High…
A Year Into Running: The Secret to an Ultramarathon
When it comes to running, the last thing on my mind was an ultramarathon—I had an idea how far a marathon is by looking at the route taken by the Milo Marathon which is “just” about 42K, but an ultra, especially 100K, was unimaginable. In fact the first time I’ve heard of the term “ultramarathon”…
A Year Into Running: The Pre-Garmin Era
From a humble 5K start it’s inevitable that you’d seek “higher grounds.” After disappointment of not being able to join a race because of a gadget requirement I was inspired when I saw the next race headed our way: the adidas King of the Road (KOTR). Just imagining myself running atop Kalayaan flyover makes me…
Yet Another Round of Road Trip: Ortigas – BHS via EDSA
Last night was supposedly my speed run session at Ultra, but the urge to meet my running buddies got the best of me and just decided to do an easy run. I was also a bit concerned with my calves aching a little (most likely due to the cramps I got from swimming last Sunday)…

runningpinoy’s 2009 Midyear Report
2009 is my first full year of running and with the first half completed its time to have a look back at some of my highlights for the first six months of the year. January The year started with “bi-polar” races: one was well praised and the other went in infamy. Of course I’m referring…
Night Run with an Instant EB
Runners could sometimes be too predictable—you’d have some idea where you may find them. Sometimes too predictable that you need not send each other messages to meet—just go where your feet takes you and chances are they are also there. That’s exactly what happened last night at BHS after my usual night run. The Night…
Night Run: Ortigas to BHS
It was another rainy run for me last night. Like with my previous night run I had only a few hours to spare so I wasn’t able to be much more creative with my run last night. At first I was a bit worried that the downpour might be too strong to run into but…
Night Run: Ortigas – McKinley Hill – BHS via C5
Summer in Metro Manila is anything but pleasing for running—it’s hot and humid. Not only do you need to worry about your run you also have to think of protecting yourself from the sun so here comes running extra early, putting on sunblocks, wearing protective clothing like visors or caps, sunglasses, etc. I personally don’t…
