Breaking up with my GF
Tragic. So this is how it all ends. My GF and I are through. :’-( It had been a wonderful three years and four months with you. How I am going to recover from this is yet known, but I will surely miss our times spent together. 😦
The Best Forerunner Yet: Forerunner® 910XT
I just drooled with excitement when I saw the latest Garmin Forerunner, the Forerunner® 910XT: Garmin Forerunner® 910XT (Courtesy Garmin.com) To sum it up, for me it’s perfect! I may not be into multisports now, but as an ultrarunner it has some of my most sought after features: the long battery life (up to 20…
GF Found “Dead”
It’s been so long since I last ran that I didn’t even realize that my GF405 had “died!” It was one of those moments that I never thought would happen as I always used my GF to run and always noticed that it’s running out of batteries. Now I only use my GF during races…
My GF’s Facelift
Even since I had some issues with my GF I found myself less and less interested spending my time with her, and now that I have my new BB, her most formidable rival, she has more reasons to be concerned about our “relationship.” As such, my GF had to undergo some major facelift.

TNF100 2010 Chronicles: Conclusion (Part 4)
Although I didn’t commit to the pact with Jonel and Ronald of staying together that night, I didn’t oppose it as well. Deep down within me I wanted badly to complete this race. I may not be in the best shape possible, but I would not give up so easily. And I don’t want to…
TNF100 2010 Chronicles: First Loop (Part 3)
This year’s TNF100 for me is walking, but is anything but a walk in the park. This is definitely the most tiring race I’ve ever had. I was merely walking uphill but it was so long and steep that even that makes me catch my breath (takes the word “breath-taking” to a whole new level). …
TNF100 2010 Chronicles: Running in the Sky (Part 2)
