- Letter of Apology From Champion Management
I should check my spam box more often. This is what I found there!
Below is an open letter from SportsConnection, the company behind Champion brand, apologizing for the lack of organization during the Champion Run. I don’t know about you, but running brings so much positive energy into my life that I refuse [...] - 15 Tips For Buying Running Shoes
Out with the old and in with the New. New Balance, that is.
A few days ago, I was still too enamored with my NB 807’s to even think of letting them go. I loved their fit and design. Deep inside though, I knew that our relationship had been slowly turning sour [...] - Witnessing The Masters 10k Run
During my solo run/frog hunt yesterday, I went up against a sea of runners who were part of the Masters, Executive, and Corporate 10k Run. I secretly wished I could have joined the race (since I ran almost the same distance during training), but I quickly realized that this was the one race I [...]
- The Hunt For Dead Frogs
“The sound of frogs croaking brings good luck!” That’s what my mother-in-law happily told me last night as we listened to the orchestra of more than a dozen bullfrogs screaming out their ribbits in her frontyard. Ironically, I learned this morning that if there is any creature on this earth that needs luck [...]
- 6 Days to Register For Run For P.E.A.C.E.
I just registered for the Run For P.E.A.C.E., have you?
For the past week, I could simply not decide between the 5k or 10k due to the cacophony of voices yelling out their oh-so unsolicited advice. My legs were begging me to just go for 5k because I had abused them during the Champion Run. [...] - Nike+ Spoof

increases blood flow to your muscles (in simple language, it “heats” [...]
- Champion Run 2007
Yesterday was a big day for me. “Big” because it was my first 10k ever…hmmm perhaps I should’ve used the word “long”?
I arrived at the scene of the Champion Run at 5:30 a.m. giving me just enough time to do my warm-ups—some dynamic stretching techniques taught by Coach B followed by a quick run [...] - Death of a Loved One
This will be a short entry as I am inconsolable as I write this. Kindly say a prayer for the death of a beloved—my fourth toenail on my right foot.
His death came like a thief in the night. This morning, when I woke up for my early morning run, he was in the pink [...]
- Yes, I am a Runaholic
I was about to finish a logo I was working on last night when a friend sent me a message about the 1st Philmug Nike+ Challenge. I hopped on over to the site and I wanted to join the race…even if it seemed like only men had signed up, and I’ll be joining midway, [...]
