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 brief article on Boracay under the “Rave Run” section of its Feb 2008 edition. Way to go, Patrick!

By the way, don’t miss Patrick’s CONDURA RUN on March 2, 2008. The race will be organized by Mr. Rudy Biscocho.

That’s a nice photo. I was there once, did just that in the afternoons. Thanks for the heads up, I’ll check out the magazine in one of the local bookstores over here.

Jaymie – I was thinking of kissing the ground he runs on but theres dog poop on the road. Between the two of you, puro celebrity dito sa South Branch ng Happy Feet.

Pat – Juma Ikanga is a blast from the past. Any quotes from Derek Clayton or Tohishiko Seko?

Mark, how about a quote from Patrick Concepcion himself. Magaling siya diyan.

Saw Patrick’s pic at PDI too. Susunod Pinoy Big Brother CELEBRITY Edition na si Patrick! His sobriquet? “The Running Warrior.” Hehe. Joke.

Good idea!

Pat – Any words of Wisdom for us poor mortals who have never been featured in Runners World?

Thank you but will you guys stop it. your making my blush. Hey we are all apart of a Running Family & we all draw strenght from each other to make the extra km. When im tired in my runs and i see you there in AVA i draw strenght from you guys to continue i thank you all.

This is my favorite Running Quote :

“My running shoes have become giant erasers on my feet. Every foot strike Rubs away some memory of a previous indiscretion, failure, hurt, pain….. Every successful mile releases me from the grip of the demons of Failure. Every starting line is another chance to prove that my past will Not determine my future.”…. John “The Penguin” Bingham

Wow! I could have done that, too! he..he..he..Boracay’s Beachfront is a nice place to run. For sure, I’ll be joining the Condura Run. How about a Boracay Beachfront Run this summer? Any comments, miss jaymie?

Marga, I think Patrick will only sign up for Big Brother if they built a track in their backyard

Patrick, thanks for sharing that quote. I love that last line.

Baldrunner, I won’t be surprised if I see your photo in the next issue of RW! Boracay this summer? That’s what I wished for but the kids want to visit HK Disneyland during the break. I’m not complaining as long as I can run.
