- Insane Usain!
I was browsing channels yesterday (just as I finished my marathon…DVD-marathon, that is) when I chanced upon the Men’s 100m semi-finals at the Beijing Olympics. Shortly after, when the finals was about to begin, I hollered for my son who complained last week that he hadn’t watched a single event of the Olympics. This was [...]

- It’s Just Kinesio!
I chanced upon an article on Yahoo a few minutes ago entitled “The Mystery of the Black Stuff on Kerri Walsh’s Shoulder.” So much for the mystery game. I instantly knew what the “black stuff” was and why it was on her shoulder. Suddenly, memories of my Clark Marathon came flashing back; I had the [...]
- Nike+ Human Race Details
All over the world, millions of runners will virtually run together on 08.31.08. In major cities chosen by Nike, such as L.A., Tokyo and London, there will be Nike+ Human Races where runners can join an official Nike race and run together. Manila is not one of those cities. However, Nike Philippines will organize a [...]
- Isn’t It Ironic?
Last night, I met Photographer Ben to run loops around Bonifacio High Street. I planned on roadtesting my Nike+ SportsBand—and possibly calibrate it already—in preparation for the Nike+ Human Race at the end of the month. Garmin on left wrist? Check. SportsBand on right wrist? Check. Sensor enclosed in SwitchEasy attached to the laces? Check. [...]

…Michael Phelps! Just kidding. Phelps is a winner in my book, but no, not in this TBR Race. To the 60 plus commenters, thank you so much for participating! I had a good hearty laugh reading your responses. You know what would be even more entertaining: if you actually did some of the things you [...]

- And the 1st TBR Race Winner is…
Thank you to all those who participated in the 1st TBR Race! Phew, that was a fast one. I hope you were all satisfied with the efficient virtual marshalls and the loads of imaginary sports gel, sports beans, chocolates, and mineral water that filled our water stations. You know me, when I organize a race, [...]
