It was one of those oh so rare Saturday night events that I dare not miss—I can have my long sleep after a Friday nightlife, be reunited once again with friends I missed for so long, and be able to run on a new place. Nothing beats the charm of running in a new place,…

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.

It’s that time of the year again for exchanging gifts and for those who have runner friends and don’t have any idea what best gift to give them, here are my list that I know many runners would like to receive (from the cheaper to the more expensive one): Running Socks Unless your recipient is…
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!
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,…

Here’s the excerpt from http://sportstracker.nokia.com/: After two and a half years of operation, the Nokia Sports Tracker beta service will close as of June 30, 2010.

Ten Running Essentials 2010 Edition
My first post about the ten running essentials served as my shopping guide when I was just starting with the sport. Back then I had no experience to rely on so I was dependent on guides like these. Now, more than a year hence I can say I’ve gained some knowledge to finally update the…
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). …
