- A New Gameplan
I was planning to pay the doctor a visit yesterday but I decided otherwise. You see, I was simply planning to bombard the doctor with all the unanswered questions in my head such as “What am I going to do now? I’m gaining weight by the second!” or “Why did you tell me to run [...]
- On Missing The Bull Run
The race was named after me (at least that’s what I’d like to think) so it was unfortunate that I missed it. How did you all do in “The Bull Run: Takbo Para sa Ekonomiya”? Ah, there were so many reasons why I wanted to be at this race: 1) It’s my namesake. 2) My [...]
- Everything But A Run
It’s been 10 miserable days since Clark—the race that ended with me limping my way back to the hotel. I initially thought the pain would go away by itself, like all the other times I pushed my body beyond its limits and found myself on the road again just a couple of days after, but [...]
- Pinoy on Runner’s World
Last Dec 2007, Patrick Concepcion, one of the most dedicated and generous runners I know, visited Boracay and enjoyed a beautiful run in its shores. A friend took his photo, which Patrick then sent to Runner’s World U.S.A and Australia. To his pleasant surprise, the Editor of Runner’s World Australia featured his photo and a [...]
- Run For Your Life Ultramarathon
After the success of their first 100km ultramarathon coinciding with the Milo marathon last year, they are at it again! I do hope you can support this honorable, strong, and fearless group of runners who are running from Banaue to Sagada (phew!) for the benefit of chronically-ill children of the Kythe Foundation. Click here and [...]
- Who’s Going to Subic?
To all those joining the Subic Marathon this weekend, I bid you farewell. May the spirit of the running gods be with and carry you on his wings to make you run, nay soar, like an eagle in flight. I shant be with you but I shall keep you in my prayers. Let you not [...]
- Asics Running Shoes
Your feet aching for a new pair of running shoes? This was posted by Princess… For runners who are using Asics running shoes and who are interested in buying a new pair of Asics, I know someone who sells running shoes (kinsei, kayano, Gt 2120, kanbarra, gel strike etc) for only P2,500 but sizes are [...]
- Kinesio Tape to the Rescue
Who would have thought that an inch-thick tape would create so much buzz among sports doctors, therapists, and athletes all over the world? According to www.kinesiotaping.com, Kinesio Taping has become “the gold standard for therapeutic rehabilitative taping.” Invented by a Japanese doctor almost three decades ago, the elastic tape “corrects muscle function, improves circulation of [...]
- Clark International Marathon
This was a welcome change. Billeted at the Holiday Inn, which was a stone’s throw away from the assembly area of the Clark marathon, all I had to do was do my usual 5-10 minute brisk walk/light jog warm up and I already found myself right smack in front of the starting grid as early [...]
- 7th Bike For Hope

This is an advocacy ride for health and the environment to be led by Sen. Pia Cayetano. Bike Route: Naga City to Legazpi City Starting Point: Naga [...]
