The Yakult 10-Miler was my longest run so far and my first attempt beyond 10K so it was venturing into unchartered territories. It was a personal test of endurance for me since I’ve never run for more than an hour. Everything was well days before this event which I was looking forward to until about…

Running Log: Nokia Recycle Your Phone and Run
The first race of the weekend and one of the most star-studded runs I’ve joined, this event was one of those nice fun runs because it was for a very good cause: the environment. I can’t see how joining this race could be wrong: you can dispose your hazardous wastes (broken cellphones, chargers, batteries, accessories,…
Running Log: 32nd National Milo Marathon: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly
This was actually my first “marathon” and even though I didn’t run the full 42.192K this was the first event I joined with a full marathon distance. This was the largest running event I’ve joined thus far, and I have quite some reactions: good, bad, and ugly. The Good The race route couldn’t be better:…

Next Race: 32nd National Milo Marathon Finals
Just before November ends another great race is upon us, none other than “the country’s premier running event” (quote) the Milo Marathon. This event indeed has bragging rights to say so because it probably is the most participated running event in the country. I registered today myself and a friend (last day of registration) for…

Running Log: Unicef’s Walk on the Child’s Side
This was another very well organized race I’ve joined and one that had a very good race course. It had a lot of sponsors and one of the biggest races I’ve been in terms of participant. It was my first time running in McKinley Hill so I don’t know what to expect, I just looked…
Running Log: Race for Life
This was my second Saturday race (the first being adidas King of the Road) and the first without an official race singlet/shirt. I was really surprised by the huge turnout of this race. This simply proves that amount of freebies (or lack of) deter runners from joining a race. Being a fundraiser it was justified…
Another Busy Weekend
This weekend is going to be another busy one. First off is the Nike Running Clinic which is tonight at Nike Bonifacio High Street. I tried cancelling my registration for tonight but the system says that it should be done 48 hours before the schedule, so there’s still no free slot for tonight. Tonight’s session…
Scenes from Men’s Health Urbanathlon
Urbanathlon was one of the “fun” races we’ve been in (we jokingly refer to as “cross-training”) because this was one of the few races that we didn’t really look at the time—we just enjoyed ourselves going through the obstacles. We registered as a group, although we didn’t really need to, but that made it more…
Men’s Health Urbanathlon Race Kit
I recently got my Urbanathlon Kit and I was surprised that it came with more than the usual shirt and race number, it actually had some goodies in them: Aside from the typical flyers from the sponsors what really surprised me was the included Alaska Slim and Snickers! Of course the kit has the usual…
