- 7 Days To Register For Adidas KOTR
I registered for Adidas King of the Road 10k yesterday morning! If you haven’t signed up yet, drop by the RACE booth at the Vasquez Madrigal Building in Annapolis Street—quick. There is no deadline for registration, but slots may be filled up if you wait till race day. (See my List of [...]
- Music on the Run
When the running gets tough, the tough listen to power music. The tunes you put into your ipod or mp3 player play a vital part in motivating you to run longer in training run, faster in a race, or simply keep you from hanging in the towel before you even break a sweat. [...]
- Attack of the Sniffles
Here goes the SMS conversation I had with my coach this morning:
Me: Hi Coach, do you think I can run today if I have cough and colds?
Coach: Mam, no. Take lots of liquid, medicine, and rest. Pls advise when we can continue our run. Tnx and get well.
Me: Oh, I was hoping [...] - My Running Schedule Gone Amuck
I recall my perfect running schedule from May till mid-June and—with Whitney Houston singing “Didn’t We Almost Have It All?” in the background—I plunge into a deep dark hole of melancholy and sorrow for all that was—and what could have been.
Perfect. That would be the only way to describe a schedule that flowed so [...] - My Training Diary
In running, or any other sport for that matter, a training diary can be an athlete’s best friend. Real friends don’t fool you; they don’t lie; and they encourage you to do the best you can. A training diary will do that and more for a runner. Provided of course that you religiously [...]
- Run For P.E.A.C.E.
This being my 4th race we—my hubby, son, and I—have got our pre-race preparation down pat. For a 6 am race like yesterday’s Run For P.E.A.C.E., we planned on arriving at 5:30 am, which meant that I would wake up at 4:30 am, followed by hubby at 4:40, then son at 5:00. We would [...]

I got tagged by Hitme64: “Each player of this game starts with 6 weird things about himself or herself. People who get tagged need to write a blog entry of their own as well as state the rule clearly. In the end, you need to tag 6 people as well and list their names. Don’t [...]
- Runner’s Interview: Sen. Pia Cayetano
She ran for the Philippine Senate in 2004—and won the top sixth slot making her the youngest female Senator in the country. That is no mean feat, but for Senator Companera Pia S. Cayetano, that is just one of the many achievements she can tuck under her belt. You see, aside from her work in [...]
- When It Rains, It Pours
To say this week was slow would be an understatement. It was a dreadfully long-drawn-out and nasty five days for me:
Sunday: 45 minute easy run in Ayala Alabang
Monday: I skip my 5:30am run with Coach B and Annie due to soreness on my left knee. Coach B tells me to rest [...]
