Time flies when you’re having fun… and also when you’re busy! I’ve been so preoccupied with lots of different things that before I knew it, it was already the weekend of Globe Run for Home! To make things more “interesting,” I’ll be doing 21K—the distance that I least like.

Rogin-E Last Man Running: My Perspective
Last Sunday, February 20, 2011, Rogin-E Last Man Running was held in McKinley Hill which was definitely a first of its kind race in the Philippines. It combined the endurance requirement of an ultramarathon but at the same time speed as with much shorter races. It was a really challenging event that I would’ve loved to…
Lucky 9 at Cebu Marathon
It was the ninth day of the New Year, and it was my ninth marathon. I’ve heard wonders about the previous Cebu Marathon, so this year I decided to find out for my own and do some “assessment run,” but I got much more than I had expected.

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…
Adobo for Halloween
At long last, the fun of Halloween was brought back to runners with a Halloween night run, thanks to Adobo Run. This would be my VFF Sprint’s first race, and one of the most fun!

The Philippine Association of Ultrarunners (PAU) brings another ultramarathon “to the masses,” this time to the trails. For its debut trail ultra we were taken to the site of second largest terrestrial eruption of the 20th century—Mt. Pinatubo.

Finally, D-Day has arrived! Ultramarathons sure are gaining popularity, fast! Thanks to PAU’s efforts, more runners are now braving ultras. Considering that this race was staged more than 500 kilometers away from Manila, the turnout was phenomenal with more than a hundred runners!
Double Millionaire
If meters were currency I would’ve been double a millionaire as I’ve earned my two millionth meter last night, or 2,000 kilometers, since I started running almost two years ago. So many obstacles hampered this long sought after but very much delayed milestone of mine, mostly for reasons of injuries, but as I gradually recover,…
34th National MILO® Marathon: “I did it for the Shirt!”
This statement basically sums up the reason I signed up for the marathon. The new routes, timing chips, donate a shoe program, potential new PR, and even the medal were not enough to entice me to join—only the 42K finisher’s shirt. On the other hand I had many reasons why I wasn’t jumping for excitement…
Technology Review: GPS on A-GPS—Alternatives to Garmin?
Garmin Forerunners are arguably the most practical GPS (Global Positioning System) solutions for runners albeit comes at a premium price. That premium fortunately gives room for alternative solutions but aside from competing brands, an option that is getting more prevalent are devices with embedded A-GPS (Assisted GPS). A-GPS is a system which can improve startup…
Comeback Race at the Trails: New Balance Trail Adventure Run
After a very long hiatus I’m finally glad to be back at the races, and fittingly it was at the trails which were always a favorite of mine. For the first time I was able to run the trails of Nuvali, Sta. Rosa, Laguna and I could probably say we have another “playground” to explore,…
