First, I would like to thank our Almighty Father for allowing me to join and finish this race despite my physical handicaps with a “decent” time to boast and negligible injuries. Second, I would like to personally thank my takbo.ph family for extending their support not just to me and the members of the family…

Ask RP: Buying Shoes
I’ve been receiving quite a handful of enquiries lately from various fronts about all sorts of topics, and so for the convenience and benefit of all stakeholders I decided to post my replies here. While I don’t claim to be “all-knowing” and didn’t intended this it’s probably inevitable with any runners with presence online. Without…
Team Runner’s World at Globe Run 2010 (Part 2: Race, Route, and Review)
5:40AM the 10K race started. We “strategically” placed ourselves at the back of the pack as we’re not conscious of our time. For me it was one of the few times I started at the back and it was a world of its own—the gun was sounded yet the people at the back were hardly…

2nd BDM Ultramarathon 102 (Part 4: Conclusion)
Around 6:18AM I arrived at +Km 50 and Sam a few minutes later. We were feeling excellent for the next half ahead, but first it was time to load up some carbs and change outfits. Unfortunately there was no hot coffee there when we arrived but my ultra-support Ross got me one including a breakfast…
takbo.ph Class Video
If you’ve heard of a “class picture,” takbo.ph goes even further with its own “class video!” For whatever the reason this video came about would be a “secret” for now. Stay tuned to find out what it’s all about but I got a feeling that some of you may already know. 😀
Pre-Con (Pre-Condura Run 2010)
Yesterday was the first day of race packet claiming for the forthcoming Condura Run 2010, Run for the Dolphins, and I couldn’t think of any way it could be better. I arrived pretty late in Condura Village (across ROX, Bonifacio High Street) at around 8:30PM and I feared that claiming is already closed for the…
Bataan Chronicles: The Test Run
Friday night, I was all set for my first trip to Bataan and while my things are ready I still was anxious about this test run since I had no decent run since returning from Singapore. Evangelion Bataan Death March (BDM) 102 Ultramarathon was a dream race for me since it started last year. I…
2009 Favorite Running Moments: In Pictures
Running has taken me to places I never imagined I’ll go to and for my first full year of running the year broke all previous records not only in terms of distance covered, and pictures taken! 2009 toll: about 20 gigabytes worth of pictures and videos, around 11,500 files. Among these, here are some of…
Pinakbet Chronicles: Laoag City and La Paz Sand Dunes (Day 1)
Why does a runner travel nine hours by bus to a place he’s never been to? To run! Friday, November 27, 2009. Four guys from takbo.ph camp met in a bus station in Manila for their nine-hour journey north—to run. It was a long weekend so bus seats are scarce leaving us no choice to…
Laoag Tour: The Preview
It was another long weekend here in the Philippines, another chance for a great adventure. For me and three other guys from the takbo.ph camp it would head us north—way up north—to the city of Laoag, Ilocos Norte, primarily for Run Ahead Raising a Roof race tomorrow morning. Of course this city had much more…
