Shake that Milk, Mommy!
Last Saturday one of the most enjoyable fun run was held at the Bonifacio Global City: the Mommy Milkshake Marathon. Well it’s not exactly a marathon since it only has 3K and 5K leg but as a race it was well organized, and it’s free! This fun run exemplifies how a well organized race can…

Botak Paa-tibayan: The 10-Mile Perspective
The recently completed Botak Paa-tibayan at UP Diliman could be described as an offshoot race from Botak 100 last June 28, 2009 when it was originally set but was deferred due to the Influenza A scare. A lot of schools suspended classes then which were some of the “target audience” of the race. Botak was…
A Year Into Running: The Pre-Garmin Era
From a humble 5K start it’s inevitable that you’d seek “higher grounds.” After disappointment of not being able to join a race because of a gadget requirement I was inspired when I saw the next race headed our way: the adidas King of the Road (KOTR). Just imagining myself running atop Kalayaan flyover makes me…
A Year Into Running: It Started With A Miracle

Run for Home Race Results, Criticisms, and Commendations
Have you seen your race results? Perhaps one of the best innovations that this race contributed to the Philippine running scene was its adaptation of globally competitive race results due to the usage of the timing chips. Although it took a little longer than runners expected, the informative race result was never seen before in…

Race Review: Run for Home
Run for Home can be proud to be one of the country’s largest race in terms of attendance with more than 6,000 runners and raising more than a million pesos for charity, according to the race organizers. This was aside from the fact that this race introduced disposable electronic timing chips in the Philippine running…
The Chronicles of My First Marathon (Part 2)
Before I got far from the group Quennie asked me if who was running with me. Being worn-out I didn’t immediately understand what the question was for and I was surprised that she was actually saying that she was ready to pace me! I was grateful enough with all the support I was getting and…
