- Mizuno Race Results
For Mizuno Infinity Run race results, click here.
I spent over 10 minutes searching for my name only to find out that I’m #256, nameless, and a male. Just perfect since my time was terrible anyway. It’s actually 32.17 here—slightly faster than my Garmin time!
Congratulation to my running buddy, Annie Agoncillo, for coming in 4th [...] - Mizuno Infinity Run – Part 2
Last night, I checked this blog to find quite a number of negative comments regarding the organization of the Mizuno race—from registration to the lack of water stations—and with a range of emotions from simply disappointed to infuriated.
Personally, I was oblivious to the water problem as I didn’t feel the need to stop at any [...] - Mizuno Infinity Run – Part 1
I arrived at the Mizuno Infinity Run at the Fort at around 6:15 am. Just in time to make a quick stop at the portalet (to see poop staring back at me from the hole! Blech!), teach hubby how my Nike kit worked, and do some (but certainly not enough) warm ups and stretching [...]
- One Day til Mizuno Infinity Run
It’s Mizuno’s Infinity Run tomorrow. And, unlike past races, I am completely unprepared.
I signed up for 5k tomorrow (the longest distance I’ve ran for the past two months as proven in my expanding waistline) and I laugh at myself for feeling all jittery just thinking about it. Will my knee cooperate? Will [...]
- Spenco In My Step
For the past two weeks now, I have enjoyed every bit of all my short runs sans the pain. What has made all the difference? Nope, it wasn’t Dr. Pribut’s ultra conservative recovery program (I heard knee clicks and experienced soreness even with the gradual progression from walking to running) nor my self-discipline, patience, [...]
- Baguio Adventure
Just got back from our annual Baguio family trip…
But, this one was different. It wasn’t about lounging around at the hotel while the in-laws went on a golfing marathon. It was all adventure, adrenaline, and pure fun.
Like real miners, we put on our gear…and bravely ventured into the dark and eerie Philex mines.
We [...]
- Is Running Today’s “It” Sport?
Is it just me or are there a lot more features on running and races in local newspapers nowadays? It’s great that running is getting a fair share of the sports spotlight lately—although it is still a far cry from the exposure of basketball and boxing.
Yesterday, Inquirer had this on the front page of [...] - Donate Your Old Shoes
After observing some runners who were walking or limping during road races due to their old and worn-out running shoes, the Baldrunner thought of donating his old shoes to them. Soon after, he had an even better idea: to collect old running shoes and distribute these to other deserving runners who cannt afford to purchase [...]
- Team Mila
During the last Pinay In Action ‘08, there was a small group of runners who joined the run for a much bigger purpose than most of us. They ran a full 10km to show support for Mila Mercado, a woman who suffered an embolism after giving birth 11 years ago. Since then, she [...]
- Summer’s Here!
In a few minutes, I shall be picking up my two children from their last day of school. And, along with them, I can already see myself spinning cartwheels while singing in true Highschool Musical fashion “What time is it?! Summertime! We’re on vacation…”
Summer means liberation from the tight school day sched [...]
