I’ve ran onto the routes of Nuvali before, both on and off-road, and honestly I find it a bit boring especially when compared to natural trails of the mountains—until Valley Trail came along! It was a race with a lot of firsts, including my first DNF!

“Cross-Dressing”
By all means I’m not a shoe expert (nor is claiming to be) but I was asked lately by a woman if she could wear men’s shoes. It’s not much of a vanity reason; it’s just that her feet are bigger than the typical women’s shoe sizes—a problem that apparently the local market fails to…
New Work, New Shoes, New Route
It felt like eternity since my last run with my GF, about 20 days to be exact. With all the hassles of changing work, turnovers, countless meetings, transferring to a new office location, settling down and getting oriented with my new job, and all the nitty gritties in between, I found it very difficult to…
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…

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.
I Finally Found My BB… Bye, Bye GF?
Yes, it’s true; I found another to replace my GF…well sort of.. BB is the name, and my GF has very good reason to be afraid!
GF405 Firmware 2.70 Now Available
Attention Garmin Forerunner 405 users: Firmware version 2.70 is now available! You may get the update here.
You’re Breaking Up With Me?
Sad, but true… what was once a simple crack is now a huge chip… my GF is breaking up on me! I was really very cautious wearing my GF405 lately because of the appearance of cracks on its rubber strap, and today the crack became a huge chunk missing from the strap! It’s a good…

Last Sunday, Barefoot Running Philippines/Vibram FiveFingers Fan Club had gathered minimalist and barefoot running enthusiasts over at the SM Mall of Asia grounds for its fourth VFF Fan Club Fun Run, an informal run that’s purely for fun!
