It felt like eternity since my last run with my GF, about 20 days to be exact. With all the hassles of changing work, turnovers, countless meetings, transferring to a new office location, settling down and getting oriented with my new job, and all the nitty gritties in between, I found it very difficult to…

Season Finale
As the calendar’s page turn from May to June, a huge chapter of my life closes as well. It’s one of the most memorable chapters of my life, more than three years in the making, and one that bore witness to my huge transformation—from a regular office folk to a sports and health enthusiast!
Shopping for Labels
It’s been a very long while since I last shopped for shoes. My most recent two pairs were sponsored and won in a raffle, so I admit that I really do miss that feeling! I guess it’s what some would call “shopping therapy.”
Picture of the Week
What would happen if one of your favorite shoe brand gives 24% discount on all their items, including their latest shoes? Madness. 😀
Brooks Run Happy :)
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!
Holey Moley!
Do you invest in your running attire? Don’t you just love wearing tops that you explicitly bought for running and not that free one from an event you joined? Now then, could you imagine putting holes in them?
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…
My GF’s Facelift
Even since I had some issues with my GF I found myself less and less interested spending my time with her, and now that I have my new BB, her most formidable rival, she has more reasons to be concerned about our “relationship.” As such, my GF had to undergo some major facelift.
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.
