Something to look forward to running next year: the Condura run on March 22, 2009. RunningShield has announced plans for this race and the 21K route will pass through the South Luzon Skyway. This may be our only chance to run on the Skyway and it definitely makes the route very interesting and exciting. From…

PhotoVendo Moment
Each race is unique and memorable and capturing those moments are made easier by PhotoVendo, the brainchild of Ben M. Chan (photographer on the run). You can’t always bring someone along to take your photos and not everyone has an SLR camera, and it’s definitely difficult to bring a camera along in-race and take photos…
Nike Run Clinic Session 09
You thought I’d lost count didn’t you? Well I actually did, I just had to count the sessions since my last appearance. I missed the clinic so much that even if I’m anything but good I just had to attend it—and I’m glad I did. After two weeks of being AWOL I’m finally back to…
UP ICTUS Run and the Takbo.ph Peeps
The weekend wasn’t that good if I talk about my knee, but otherwise it was great! I was able to complete my goal for the year of reaching the 100K mark (yay!), and I get to meet the guys at takbo.ph. Meet my new friend: anti-inflammatory painkillersBefore the race started walking was something I didn’t…
Goal: 100K, Done!
Finally, after almost four months I was able to achieve my first 100K of cumulative race distance. Goal achieved! This was during the UP ICTUS Centennial Run yesterday, one of the most difficult races I had to take, not because of the course, but because on my injury (still). Yesterday’s run was just three days…
100K Here I Come!
Believe it or not, I only started running, in races of course, last August, and roughly four (4) months since I started, my first 100K (race-only cumulative distance) is almost here. Before December I had set a goal of reaching my first 100K this year but back then it was mathematically impossible because of the…
Runner’s Knee
Browsing on the Internet I stumbled upon what my injury is called: a runner’s knee. According to Wikipedia, a runner’s knee, also called Chondromalacia patellae (CMP) or Patello-femoral Pain Syndrome, is a term for a large and disparate group of medical conditions that can cause pain in the front of the knee. It is common…
Runningpinoy’s First “Monthsary” Online
It was like yesterday when I was still dreaming of putting up a blog site for my newly-found love, running. Now, I am celebrating my blog site runningpinoy’s first month! I originally targeted to launch this site on my birthday last November 07 but due to some “technical difficulties” I was formally able to launch…
One Great Weekend
This weekend had been a great one. Two races, two PRs, two finisher’s shirt, and Manny Pacquiao won! (Woohoo! And Manny did it via TKO!) My first race of the weekend, Nokia Recycle You Phone and Run, allowed me to set a new PR for 5K (the longest distance of the fun run) and was…
Running With One Good Knee: The Yakult 10-Miler Chronicles
The Yakult 10-Miler was my longest run so far and my first attempt beyond 10K so it was venturing into unchartered territories. It was a personal test of endurance for me since I’ve never run for more than an hour. Everything was well days before this event which I was looking forward to until about…
Running Log: Nokia Recycle Your Phone and Run
The first race of the weekend and one of the most star-studded runs I’ve joined, this event was one of those nice fun runs because it was for a very good cause: the environment. I can’t see how joining this race could be wrong: you can dispose your hazardous wastes (broken cellphones, chargers, batteries, accessories,…
Another Über Busy and Exciting Weekend
Three runs in three days—that’s the plan. The first of three would be tomorrow night at the Nike Run Clinic (Session 06) at Bonifacio High Street, a distance of at least 9K. This would be followed on Saturday by a 5K run at Nokia Recycle Your Phone and Run, also at Bonifacio Global City, and…
