This weekend would be my last weekend here in the Philippines, temporarily at least. I’ll be off for the USA for some business trip and be away for almost a month, thereby missing a lot of good races. It should be interesting since it would be my first time in another continent, add to the…

Nike Run Clinic Session 23
“If you think running is difficult, stop thinking.” I could probably describe last night’s session with this quote. Just thinking about doing 5x800M with a pace of 3:45/800M ±15 seconds was tiring enough, so I just said to myself, “Just do it!” (Now I think I understand where Nike got this slogan.) Together with some…
My EDSA Tour: GF405 Perspective
Here are the GF405 data I accumulated during my carbon-loading at EDSA last Sunday: Satellite imagery courtesy of Google. As you can see running on “real roads” really tests GF405’s features better than just running on tracks or race courses. And with these tests we can all see that as great a product GF405 is,…
My First 21K: Carbon-loading from MRT to MoA
Today I finally did two things that I really wanted to do: Run along EDSA and do my first half-marathon—all this first day of February. Inspired by Team Bald Runner’s runabout in EDSA (Pasay City to Monumento) and motivated by GF405 I finally amassed some guts to finally do it, even if I had to…
Nike Run Clinic Session 21
Yes I’m still keeping count of the number of sessions, and we’re more than halfway through the entire Clinic program. If you’re wondering why my posts skip a session it’s because I usually am not able to join the Friday sessions of the clinic at BHS (traffic going to Fort Bonifacio on Friday nights are…
Happy Run with My New GF
The Happy Run was my first regular race with my new GF—GF405 that is. The race turnouts for all categories were very good but since it was handled by Coach Rio everything was in order, another well organized race from Runrio. The weather was quite cooperative too, it didn’t rain and it was cooler than…
Next Race: The Happy Run

Through Bianca Gonzalez’s Help The Kids Learn Project and Congresswoman Lani Cayetano, The Happy Run hopes to help the school build much needed classrooms to help the kids of Taguig get the education they deserve…
Nike Run Clinic Session 19
Like the previous session, last night’s session was jam packed! For some reason the clinic just seemed to double its participants. Running must really be getting popular! As usual we started with a 5 lap easy warm-up run around the oval (2K) followed by the routines. I arrived a bit late (a nasty habit) so…
TNF Thrill of the Trail Experience, Part 4 (Final)
Finally to conclude my series on The North Face Thrill of the Trail experience, here are my opinions about the race:
TNF Thrill of the Trail Experience, Part 3
…just passing by MP1 (Marshal Point 1) I was asked nicely by the Marshal what my race number was. I think my face just light up that moment—I was, incredibly, back in the race!
TNF Thrill of the Trail Experience, Part 2
TNF Thrill of the Trail was held January 19, 2009 within the premises of Evercrest Golf Resort in KM 72, Batulao, Nasugbu, Batangas. It’s basically a loop around some very good and challenging trails, with the 20K having two laps of the approximately 10K loop.
TNF Thrill of the Trail Experience, Part 1
It was truly an amazing race! I just returned home from one of the best races I’ve ever had! I have so many stories to share so please bear with me until I’ve compiled the pictures and completed writing about it. I’ll share it here even if it takes on an installment basis. 🙂
