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!

Visita Iglesia 2011
Visita Iglesia (Spanish: Church Visits) is the tradition of visiting seven churches on Holy Thursday as penance. Some people expand it to 14 churches with each one representing the Stations of the Cross. For this year I decided to start including this in my Holy Week habit but unfortunately I didn’t know that it should be on a Thursday, so ended up doing it on a Saturday, with an unexpected extra two churches!
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…
Good Bye, BGC?
Bonifacio Global City, Bonifacio High Street in particular, had been a runner’s haven for quite some time now, but as its empty lots and the areas around it slowly but surely gets filled up, is it an early sign of good bye?
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.
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.
Unconventional
Don’t you just love it when you break the monotony of your everyday routine? Well, yesterday wasn’t too far fetched from the usual, but it definitely was unconventional.
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…
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.
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…
Condura Skyway Marathon 2011: The Bests and the Worsts
This year’s installment of the Condura Skyway Marathon could arguably be considered as the best one yet, but there were still some things that could’ve gone better.
