Today is the first day of claiming Nike We Run Manila race kits, and I’d say I’m impressed that the runners didn’t wait for the last day before claiming their kits as attested by the big turnout even before the collection opened. Here are some scenes from the first day:

The Best Forerunner Yet: Forerunner® 910XT
I just drooled with excitement when I saw the latest Garmin Forerunner, the Forerunner® 910XT: Garmin Forerunner® 910XT (Courtesy Garmin.com) To sum it up, for me it’s perfect! I may not be into multisports now, but as an ultrarunner it has some of my most sought after features: the long battery life (up to 20…
Fourth Quarter Storm
Wow, it’s the fourth quarter of the year already! It’s interesting that some of the more interesting races are held this quarter, and here are some that I think are worth joining for October to mid-November
Quickie Tour: SM Mall of Asia and its Arena
It’s been quite a while since I was last at the SM Mall of Asia, and like with other business centers in the country the development in the area is going full throttle. Among the most prominent structures under construction is the SM Mall of Asia Arena. Here are some pictures from my quick tour…
McDonald’s Philippines Nutrition Facts
At long last, McDonald’s Philippines decided to “drop the bomb” and reveal the nutrition information about the food they serve. Caution: I guarantee you won’t be looking at that burger the same way again after reading this, so if you’re ready for the hard truth, please proceed… Disclaimer (from to the flyer that you may…
The Perfect Night Run Buddy: FILA Light Laces
Isn’t technology amazing? At first I thought it was just a set of light laces, but when I saw this video, it’s actually laces that light up! The FILA Light Lace has a SRP of ₱500 but if you’re willing to wait by October 01, 2011, you can pre-purchase it now with a shoe worth…
The Best Ultra-Trail Aid Station I’ve Ever Seen: The North Face® Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc®
Road races in the Philippines are already at par with the world’s best, but ultramarathon trail races are still way behind, especially when it comes to Aid Stations, and especially if you compare it with this one at around km 21 of The North Face® Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc® – Saint Gervais, Les Contanimes and Notre…
Shoe Review: Mizuno Wave Prophecy
The much anticipated and latest addition to the Wave line of Mizuno is already in the country: the Mizuno Wave Prophecy. This flagship model from Mizuno, to my surprise, comes in the form of a trainer and I’m lucky enough to be given a chance by Mizuno to take this handsome shoe for a ride. …
Third Running Anniversary Run at Run United 2
Run United 2 was of dire importance to me because it would serve as my third anniversary race! I can’t believe it’s already been three years since my debut race, and from that race of less than a thousand participants, my most recent race swelled to a staggering 14,000 attendees!
Thelma
Finally, a local film inspired by our beloved sport, running! This movie is entitled “Thelma” and is inspired by the stories of true Filipino athletes who were discovered in the province, and fought their way to represent the Philippines in the world stage. “Thelma” is the first full-length feature film production of Time Horizon Pictures. It…
Work Hard, Run Longer
Just as when all hope seems gone, a silver lining appears out of nowhere—I was totally convinced of a raceless weekend, but behold! I found myself part of the almost 14,000 runners that ran last weekend’s Run United 2!
The Joy of Running in the Rain
This is probably the only way I can describe the video below, scenes from the 35th National MILO® Marathon Manila Eliminations. I posted it here to motivate me (and hopefully, others) whenever rain pours on my (our) runs. Too bad I missed the water therapy. 🙂
