Crazy. That’s probably how many of us may describe the weather these past few days. One day it’s raining cats and dogs, then sunny as summer the next… if you’re not ready you may easily get sick. Fortunately for me, I didn’t find myself soaking in the rain while running—because unfortunately, I missed running entirely!

The Race That Didn’t Let Me Down: Rexona Run 2011
SM Mall of Asia was again host to another major running event, the Rexona Run 2011, which was one of the biggest races in the country lately. Aside from serving as a preview to half of the following MILO Marathon route, the race was also a ticket to more adventures, and the debut of new…
Shoes, Shoes, Shoes!
Shoes are probably the only piece of equipment that running entails—and strictly speaking, even that is optional! After more than two years of running, here’s how my shoe collection looked like.
Shoe Review: adidas CC Ride
Every one’s in a while, a shoe comes along that breaks the monotony of stereotype and blurs the line between performance and fashion. The adidas ClimaCool Ride is one such shoe, but with its good looks, can it also perform? I was on the lookout for a good daily shoe that can also double as…
Yamaha’s Delivery Express!
I am just flabbergasted on how fast my finisher’s medal for the Yamaha Run for Heroes arrived: within hours! I can’t believe such feats were possible, particularly here in the Philippines!
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.
Half Marathon, Full Fun: The Yamaha Run for Heroes Chronicles
At long last I was finally able to get back to regular racing, and staging this comeback was with the Yamaha Run for Heroes held last July 03, 2011 at Bonifacio Global City. it may “just” be a half-marathon, but it was a race of different caliber.
Shoe Review: Merrell Trail Glove
Merrell recently introduced to the Philippine market their Barefoot Collection and I was lucky enough to win a pair of their segment for trails, the Trail Glove. At first glance it looks like a regular pair, but given its name with a matching Vibram name on its sole, it had got to be much more…
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…
The Tales from the Valley Trail (Challenge)
I’ve ran onto the routes of Nuvali before, both on and off-road, and honestly I find it a bit boring especially when compared to natural trails of the mountains—until Valley Trail came along! It was a race with a lot of firsts, including my first DNF!
“Cross-Dressing”
By all means I’m not a shoe expert (nor is claiming to be) but I was asked lately by a woman if she could wear men’s shoes. It’s not much of a vanity reason; it’s just that her feet are bigger than the typical women’s shoe sizes—a problem that apparently the local market fails to…
Makati Route #2
I guess I wasn’t that satisfied with my first Makati-based run so the following night I was again out on the streets and seeking a new route. This time around it’s a notch longer and ending on a different spot.
