- Bad, Bad Day
Whenever my 3-year-old daughter enters the car with me, this our dialogue: Nia: “I need music, Mama.” Me: “What song do you like?” Nia: “Bad bad day. Number 18.” Me: “Okay, You Had a Bad Day it is!” Nia loves You Had a Bad Day by Daniel Powter. My husband thinks the song is too [...]
- Sore No More—Really!
This time it’s for real… I am back! My 7-day forced abstinence from running is officially over. I am healed! – Annie and I after our run. We look so poised! You wouldn’t believe that we were laughing like noisy high school girls before this shot. It was a happy happy day. – I ran [...]
- Spoke Too Soon
I made it to the Mizuno Run Club last night. But, disappointingly, I wasn’t there to run. Shortly after I published the previous post yesterday, I headed for SM to run errands. As I swept through the department store purchasing everything on my list in haste, I noticed my knee popping again. And again. And [...]
- Sore No More
“By the power vested in me by the Holy Spirit, I command you evil injury to depart from this poor woman’s knee!” Nope, my attempts at exorcising the soreness out of my knee proved to be futile. So, over the past few days—FOUR long non-running days to be exact—I resorted to more sane alternatives such [...]
- Missed Milo—Again!
Race bib…CHECK Brand spanking new mizuno outfit…CHECK Fully charged garmin…CHECK Packed bag with extra clothing…CHECK Gatorade and banana…CHECK As early as friday evening, I was all set to run 10k at the Milo race that was held this sunday morning. To say that I was excited about this race would be an understatement. I had [...]
- Tri-Clinic For Newbies
Found this in my inbox from Ige Lopez… The clinic is open to anyone who wants to try a TRIATHLON (swim, bike and run). Hey, that’s me! Very, very tempting. What should I do next Saturday: long run or tri-clinic? Decisions decisions!
- November Races in Metro Manila
I love the month of November. This is the month we dust the ol’ Christmas tree and dress him up for the Holidays. Bazaars start popping up all over the metro, but people are not in a wild Christmas frenzy; they shop unhurriedly for a gift list that isn’t quiet final yet. And, when you [...]
- Garmin vs Nike+: A Test of Accuracy
[ OBSERVATION ] NOV. 3, SATURDAY. This was the first time I used my Garmin on a long run. Our goal with Annie, my running buddy, was 15 km around Ayala Alabang. We agreed on taking our usual 12 km route and just let our feet carry us an additional 3 km anywhere from that [...]
- Roadtesting The Garmin Forerunner 305
I took my brand spanking new Garmin Forerunner 305 out for a spin at the Mizuno Run Club and boy did it impress me yet again. I’ve used it a couple of times already, but it was only during this run that I had the opportunity to utilize its lap feature. For this run, I [...]
- It’s a Boy!
Welcome the new member of our family. Finally, my hubby has gotten what he’s wished for all these months. A new Boy… Lazy Boy, that is. This fine piece of furniture transformed me, quite regretably, into a Lazy Girl Potato. Suddenly, I found all this free time to watch television—something I hadn’t done in months—and [...]
