Attention runners around Alabang area: Mizuno Run Club will be having a session in Cuenca Court, Ayala Alabang this Sunday, September 28, 2015. Registration is free and all you have to do is drop by at 6AM. The session will be led by Coach Patrick Joson together with other members of Team Mizuno.
After a very, very long time this runner finally got a chance to run the tracks of the PSC Arena (formerly Ultra). It was an unanticipated visit, with an unexpected result.
Even my VFF got left behind!
Thursday, August12, 2010. After four consecutive crazy days of overtime at the office this creature needed a break. Yes, sitting down in front of a computer for hours on end is tiring especially if your brain does all the toiling. After calling it a day I figured, “it’s a nice night to run.” Of course I’d also need the approval of one of the stakeholders—the weather.
From the office I headed off to the gym and upon leaving our building, to my surprise the sky was clear. Upon arriving at the gym I was horrified with what I saw—tons of people! In fact all the lockers were occupied—the signs cannot be clearer: get out and run!
As part of old Thursday night habit I ran from Ortigas Center (starting in front of San Miguel compound) to Bonifacio Global City—my favorite running spot in the Metro that I haven’t been to in quite a while. I used to be in BGC at least twice a week: Thursdays for Nike Running Clinic and eventually easy runs from the office, and Sundays for races. Recently I can be away for months on end! Each time I do I always see something new, kind of makes me wonder if BGC’s development gets a boost while I’m away!
Typical Thursdays route: Ortigas Center to Bonifacio High Street via EDSA - Kalayaan - 32nd

The pilot run of the Ortigas Group was held last night in Pearl Drive in front of the University of Asia and the Pacific, headed by Luis (The Gingerbread Report). Although there wasn’t much publicity about the event there was a good set of runners that joined the event.

If you still haven’t registered for this year’s adidas King of the Road (KOTR) it is currently ongoing in 14 sites within Metro Manila. The race will be held on October 25, 2009 at Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City with a registration fee of P500 for all events, namely, 5K, 10K, and 21K.
Renowned tri-athlete and coach Ani De Leon will offer free running clinics in preparation for the adidas King of the Road.
Ani De Leon believes that running, like any other sports, requires training and preparation to avoid any unnecessary injuries or health risks especially if you are a first-time runner or someone who has health-related risks maybe due to age.
You can enjoy running at its fullest if you train and prepare for it and through adidas, Miss De Leon will train you for your run for free!
Free running clinics are scheduled every Tuesday and Thursday, 6PM-8PM from October 06–22 at the PSC (Ultra) Track Oval. To join, simply send an e-mail expressing your interest including your contact details to adidas_kingoftheroad_2k9@yahoo.com.
