  • Where will TNF be?

    Where in the world—or, at least, in the Philippines—is this?  
    Word is, this scenic course may just be the venue for The North Face 100, the upcoming trail run that many of us are looking forward to.  According to Neville Manaois of Pinoy Ultra Runners, the race organizers should finalize details within this week or [...]

  • Fuego-Mizuno Run

    Oddly, I am still in recovery mode after the Takbo Para sa Puso last Sunday. I think it’s pathetic that it’s taking my legs almost half a week to recuperate from a short 5k, but I am patiently waiting—while scratching my head, biting my nails (and soon toenails too if it takes longer), and eating [...]

  • Doc Oknoy’s Birthday

    Before Doc Fit’s Takbo Para sa Puso, there was another celebration for a fit doc. Last Thursday, Happy Feet met up out our favorite carbo-loading spot for Doc Oknoy’s birthday party.

    Doc Oknoy may have turned 40-something but he has the energy and wit of a man [...]

  • Doc Fit – Takbo Para sa Puso

    Allow me to start at the end of the race because that’s where all the excitement was—at least for me. Here’s the loot I took home from my 5k run at Takbo Para sa Puso in U.P. Diliman this morning…

    Do you see the medal right smack at the center of the photo? [...]

  • I’m Alive!

    Just wanted to let you know I’m alive and kicking.  A bit down and depleted from the tumultuous week I had—a rollercoaster of sorts due to the evil injury that came and went every hour of every single day.  I didn’t know if I was injured, recovering, fully recovered, or just going insane.  All I [...]

  • Seeing Red

    After my track run with Coach and Annie yesterday, I looked up at the red sky, changed into my red shirt, and drove home in my red car. Kissed my red husband good morning and woke up my two little red kids. I showered and saw my red self in the mirror. [...]

  • Pringles is Pushing Through

    I’m guessing that half of you visiting the blog today have this question in mind: “Tuloy ba ang Pringles?!” followed by a nervous glimpse at the gray skies and strong winds hitting the metro.
    The answer is: As of 11am Saturday, YES, the Pringles race is pushing through tomorrow!
    Thanks to Marga of Transition Zero [...]

  • Sick Leave

    Like a loyal, hardworking employee, I am distressed over this “sick leave” I had to take, anxious over the fact that—while I was away for just a few days—I may have lost my momentum at work.
    It’s been four days since I was attacked by feverrhea. In TBR’s Dictionary, this is defined as “the fever [...]

  • Ultramarathon 101

    And this is where it all begins…

  • Lucky Me

    I haven’t posted for a while now (yes, a few days is long for me) for two reasons: 1) I attended a four-day seminar, which to an independent, multi-tasking designer/mother like me, felt like forever and left me exhausted every single day, and 2) I have fever. Argh…I feel terrible about skipping training the [...]
