- Mizuno Infinity Run – Take 2
So it’s confirmed: To make up for the mishap at the Mizuno Infinity Run last March 30, Mizuno will hold another Mizuno race on June 29, Sunday, at the same venue, Bonifacio Global City to be organized by no less than our favorite race organizer, Coach Rio.

On this day, over three decades ago, I was born. And, on the same day last year, The Bull Runner too. (This was my first post ever. My how time flies!)
