- The Good, The Bad, and The Not-So-Ugly
{THE GOOD}
For the first time in 5 weeks, I attempted a pain-free 3k run yesterday and I am all too happy to report that it was a success! Finaaaaallly, I can run again. Sure, it was slow and short. And, the entire time, I was focused on keeping my left foot from overpronating, but hey [...] - The North Face 100 Open for Registration

Running is one of the most affordable sports there is. No need for special gear or equipment such as a swimsuit and goggles, bike and helmet, skis, ball, racket, etc. One can indulge in the sport with the clothes on his back and the shoes on his feet—or, in rare cases, no shoes at all. [...]
- Desperate Runner
- My xray results. No fractures here. -
“Are you desperate?” This was the question that my good ol’ doctor posed before me soon after he reviewed the tibia xray I submitted to him last Thursday. After visiting him regularly (perhaps “way too often” is a better description) the past weeks, he ruled out a fracture [...] - Rush To Infinity Run Starting Time

Disregard the 6 a.m. starting time written on the envelope. - Big Birthday for a “Big Fan”
It had been two weeks since Michelle contacted me requesting for—of all things—my autograph. Don’t laugh. This is serious stuff. It was to be a surprise birthday gift for her boss, Gen, who she said was a big fan of this blog. Certainly, I was flattered. But, more than that, I was in serious doubt [...]
- Rush Run Clinic
I know, I know…I’ve been absent lately. Mother Hen has been watching over her kids at school the past few days and was also neck-deep in work.
Despite the chaotic sched, I just knew I had to take time off to post about Rush’s Run Clinic after seeing that the 1st of only 2 female [...] - Girls’ Night Out
After a tiring, stressful week of rushing the kids to school, helping my daughter adjust to her first few days of nursery, beating work deadlines, dealing with new household help, and mourning the loss of yet another week’s run, I welcomed the thought of meeting Happy Feet girlfriends Marga and Banggi for a full night [...]
- LQ
I wish I told you how ecstatic I was over my first ever mountain bike ride last Sunday where my Garmin got his first taste of a biking event and registered it at 40 min for 9km. Or, how my first Ashtanga yoga session last Wednesday completely blew me away and gave me a peek [...]
