There was a time when race results merely tell a runner’s official time and photos merely serve as souvenir of an event. These days, these two combined do much, much more than that. Back during my early days of joining races (circa 2008-2009), a race result is a mere list of names and their respective…

Marathons: More Fun in the Philippines
Running had become the “it” sport in urban centers in the Philippines these past few years with races achieving “world-class” levels, and if I were to pick three amongst the best in the country, the list would look something like this…
I Outran the Sun at Run United 1
This blog post is written minutes after my Run United 21K run, even before the winners are even announced! It’s quite nice to have a netbook handy and Wi-Fi around! Anyways here’s my account fresh off the race.
I Ran with Piolo: Timex Run 2012
I’m not just making this up or saying this figuratively, really did ran with Mr. Piolo Pascual and Coach Rio dela Cruz, literally! This was during this weekend’s Timex Run 2012 which was one of my most memorable and fun races of all time.
The Chronicles of SAR: Macau Galaxy Entertainment International Marathon Post-Race (Day 02)
After running a full marathon you’d expect that we’d just stay in our rooms to rest, but no way! We’re in Macau in some very cool, nice weather so rest will have to wait! Here’s where our feet took us some time after our races.

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.
Running on Credits
I think everyone will agree with me when I say that racing these days is getting quite expensive. When I started racing more than two years ago, it was still practical to race every weekend, but lately you’d have to get some dough to do that! With a number of races having registration fees going…
T-Rio (Three Days with Rio): Photo-shoot, Party, and the Pouring Rain (Day 01)
It was an unprecedented week as for the first time I had three consecutive days of various running-related events, all centered on RunRio! It’s like a blog-a-thon of sorts which kind of make it hard for me to keep up with all the info and share it with you guys.
Lights, Camera, Run!

2010 in Pictures
