3. hi bullrunner,

   ive been reading your blog for the past 2-3 months. i really admire your passion for running. to think that based on your posts you only started running seriously this past year, the improvement in time has been dramatic. as for me, ive been jogging for the longest time and it’s only lately that ive tried to do some serious running. iba pala siya, hehe. thank you for your blog and im going to go for the 21K in Subic in January. Hope to see you there. Happy running to you and the Happy Feet group

4. Did you really use the word “scintillating” in your post:) You’ve already done the 5k and 10ks, how about the 21k?

5. Marga, psssttt…bawal mag mura dito haha. Yeah 21k kaya mo yan!

   Renz, yup tara!

   Levy, thanks for dropping by. Looking forward to meeting you in Subic—or maybe even earlier

   Rick, I only use that to describe well-made singlets haha. I’m aiming for 21k by October. I’m tempted to go for a 42k but I need to consult with my “team of experts” if it’s realistic for me to do that by January…that’s a mere 3 months from now!

7. Hi Jaymie,

   Wow! This is something to look forward to, but my only concern is why did they put it so close to the Philippine Int’l Marathon held every Feb. As far as I know it should be 3 months in between just like here in KL. anyway If I managed to get a cheap flight next year I’ll join this one

8. Mary Anne, okay now at least I’m normal. I was just thinking of a 42k and I was getting nervous already hahaha. Actually I was thinking the holidays would be a great time to train for us. Kids are out of school so we can run all we want in the morning, right?

   TRF, you’re right. I wonder why they didn’t think of that. Hopefully in 2009 they coordinate and fix the scheds. Hey, hope you can make it here

10. Go for marathon! 42k!
    I wonder if I’ll do it? Well, if I sign up, I’m just gonna have to, right? The longest I’ve run is 17.5k (only stopped because of upper foot pain – might be the shoe). There is enough time to train… let’s go for it!

11. go for 42K………………there is only one way to find out….
    the new balance 25k power run will be a nice tune to swing the 42k in January…..
    come February the punishing cursed course of Pasig will be a breeze…
    ARRIBA!!!

13. Any feedback on the Subic Marathon yet? I really want to know what you guys think of the event.

    I did the 10k and my companions both did the 21. For the 10k, I have mostly good things: the scenery was really good & there were only a few uphill parts.

    Wish the race packets had more info–specifics like turn around points and water stations would have helpful. I saw a few people make a wrong turn (some went with the 5k crowd, others went past the 10k turn around point and went with the 21k runners only to go back and catch up with the 10k people) for lack of signage, or just general lack of info (there was a marshal at the 10k turn around but some runners didn’t notice him).

    In any case, the event had an okay turn out, but then I haven’t been to too many of these to really say.

14. was there also. i agree that the 10K route was scenic. will they publish the rankings and time results for each runner? i failed to notice the timer when i reached the finish line.

15. My friends were able to check their times there (I didn’t get look, was busy watching the elite runners come in, were they Kenyans? All I have to say to that is WOW!) Since they went through the trouble of recording the runners’ times, they probably will publish.

    By the way, has anyone heard of talk about the Subic Marathon’s distance discrepancies? I heard from two separate groups that the 21k was more like 23 or 24, that is, according to their gps sport devices. Doesn’t really matter I suppose, except to those going for their PR.

16. Re: 21 K
    Dear Roadkill,

    Subic marathon was OK considering some glitches. My friends and I also thought that the 21 Km run seemed like a 24. I was not aiming for a new PR but…3km more??? It felt like eternity.
    I’m just thankful for the bay and the trees because seeing those produced a lovely hallucinogenic state!

18. Very well written post however, I would recommend that you turn the No Follow off in your comment section.

    Keep up the good work.
