Halloween is almost here, one of the “newest” and most enjoyable western tradition assimilated with our own. For kids, it’s much ado about the “trick-or-treat”-ing, but for the kids at heart, it’s about the costumes and parties! It’s fun just thinking about it, but I have a problem–I don’t have a costume yet!

The First adidas King of the Road Southeast Asia Championship Recap
The first ever adidas King of the Road (KOTR) Southeast Asia Championship had just concluded in Bonifacio Global City, Metro Manila, Philippines, and I’d say it’s the most “international” race I’ve experienced in the Philippines so far. Here’s my recap on this outstanding race:
Nike, We Ran Manila!
My first and longest race in more than two months, Nike We Run Manila surely gave me a lot to think about when it comes to my future long distance races. It was a lot of fun, but it wasn’t as easy as I originally thought it would be!
Scenes from the Nike We Run Manila Race Pack Collection
Today is the first day of claiming Nike We Run Manila race kits, and I’d say I’m impressed that the runners didn’t wait for the last day before claiming their kits as attested by the big turnout even before the collection opened. Here are some scenes from the first day:
Third Running Anniversary Run at Run United 2
Run United 2 was of dire importance to me because it would serve as my third anniversary race! I can’t believe it’s already been three years since my debut race, and from that race of less than a thousand participants, my most recent race swelled to a staggering 14,000 attendees!
The Joy of Running in the Rain
This is probably the only way I can describe the video below, scenes from the 35th National MILO® Marathon Manila Eliminations. I posted it here to motivate me (and hopefully, others) whenever rain pours on my (our) runs. Too bad I missed the water therapy. 🙂
The Race That Didn’t Let Me Down: Rexona Run 2011
SM Mall of Asia was again host to another major running event, the Rexona Run 2011, which was one of the biggest races in the country lately. Aside from serving as a preview to half of the following MILO Marathon route, the race was also a ticket to more adventures, and the debut of new…
Shoe Review: adidas CC Ride
Every one’s in a while, a shoe comes along that breaks the monotony of stereotype and blurs the line between performance and fashion. The adidas ClimaCool Ride is one such shoe, but with its good looks, can it also perform? I was on the lookout for a good daily shoe that can also double as…
Yamaha’s Delivery Express!
I am just flabbergasted on how fast my finisher’s medal for the Yamaha Run for Heroes arrived: within hours! I can’t believe such feats were possible, particularly here in the Philippines!
Travel Junkie
The love for travel must be in my blood as I suddenly realized, without much effort, that I had scheduled a travel practically every month for the second half of the year, both local and international! And of course most of these revolve around the sport I love, running.
Half Marathon, Full Fun: The Yamaha Run for Heroes Chronicles
At long last I was finally able to get back to regular racing, and staging this comeback was with the Yamaha Run for Heroes held last July 03, 2011 at Bonifacio Global City. it may “just” be a half-marathon, but it was a race of different caliber.
The Tales from the Valley Trail (Challenge)
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!
