For runners, running is all sorts of different things, and most likely making them happy is one of them. And what would make runners, “happy runners?” Joining a “happy” fun run of course!

Boston Kreme: When is a World’s Best not a World Record?
Boston, Massachusetts is thousands of miles away from Manila, but the running highs that were set during the recent Boston Marathon were so contagious I can feel it all the way here! The highlight of the event of course was the 2:03:02 time set by Kenya’s Geoffrey Mutai—the world’s fastest ever, but not the world…
A Night to Remember: Takbo.ph Nightfest
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,…
A Very, Very G.O.O.D. Run
Exactly one week to this date, I’ve had a very, very good run with the G.O.O.D. Run—a race that I knew would be good, but far surpassed my expectations.
Fun Back in the Run: The Hyundai Fun Run Chronicles
It’s been a while since I’ve run in Roxas Blvd., much more run a race with no expectations—just for the pleasure of having fun while running, and Hyundai was able to bring that with its first fun run.
Lucky 8: Globe Run for Home 2011 Chronicles
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.

For those who have missed the feature on Condura Skyway Marathon 2011 on National Geographic Channel (Asia) here’s your chance to watch it over at YouTube.
Weekend with Zonta’s RAT Race
Have you ever heard of a “registered bandit?” I guess that’s the closest words I could use to describe how my weekend went. It all started with waking up later than planned—a race really wasn’t in my radar until two days before the race day so naturally my body was expecting a tranquil weekend. I’m not…
My BDM102 (2011) Perspective (in Photos)
Bataan Death March Ultramarathon is currently the longest road ultramarathon in the Philippines with 160 kilometers and “classic” 102 kilometers route. The 102K event would always be special for me as it was my first road ultramarathon and the first one beyond 100K. Unfortunately I’m not able to run either of the two events, but…
T-Rio (Day 03): The Establishment of a New King (of the Road)
Third day: Thursday, March 03, 2011. Finally, after three days, the “trilogy” of media launches is about to conclude. On this third day we were brought at The Establishment in the Fort Entertainment Complex for a lunch launch of one of the biggest races of the year, the adidas King of the Road.
T-Rio (Day 02): The Heritage, the Run, and the Beneficiaries (Globe Run for Home 2011)
Second day: Wednesday, March 02, 2011. The second day of our three day stint with Rio, and this time around we were brought to a quaint place that I’ve never been to—the Filipinas Heritage Library (FHL) in Nielson Tower, Ayala Avenue for the media launch of a familiar event, the Globe Run for Home 2011.
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…
