- Global City Run Results
Thanks to Bald Runner, the Global City Run results are out. Finally! Click here to view it.
The wait was well worth it. I got the surprise of my life when I saw my time for 5k: 26.13 mins. 22nd for females and 162nd overall.
This isn’t a great time compared to [...] - Secret Training Exposed
What have I been doing the past month? Had you looked closely, I rarely discussed my training sessions nor did I complain about my evil knee. Truth be told, I found little time to write here as running had taken over a large chunk of my idle time leaving me with the [...]
- Running PR
Did you read the papers yesterday? Running was featured in two major dailies—Philippine Star and Inquirer. Running PR isn’t just about Personal Records anymore, but also Press Release!
This is good news to all of us Pinoy Runners (hey that’s another PR?!) who can only benefit from the growing popularity of running in the [...] - Right on Track

The jury is still out on whether a runner should lift weights or not.
I’ve interviewed several runners asking whether they pay regular visits to the gym or do strength training exercises at home and I’ve received different responses. Elite runner A only uses free weights on his arms to mimic the vigorous arm motion [...] - Global City Run & Big Blue Run
There are two races coming up this weekend…the 4th Global City Fun Run and the Ateneo Big Blue Run (Go Blue Eagles!)
As much as I love my alma mater, the hubby and I registered for the Global Run during On Your Mark last Sunday. (Ateneo is just way too far for me.) [...]
- On Your Mark
“Mama, I want my blanket.” she murmured.
“Uh huh…” I replied in my sleep.
“Mama, I want my blanket!” my daughter screamed.
I opened my eyes, peeked at the alarm clock that failed to wake us, and yelled to the hubby “Get up! We’re late!” followed by a few curse words that you yourself would have said [...] - Trail Running for Newbies
