New Balance Power Race results can now be downloaded at eXtribe’s website. Click here. Get your race bib number ready because results are arranged in that order, not by time. According to the site, results are “unofficial.” Hmm, with the RFID timing chip and three full days after the race, I would’ve thought our time [...]
- QC Marathon Moved to October 18, 2009
Talk about bad news. When I heard about the postponement of QC Marathon from Feb 2009 to Oct. I8, 2009, it was like a rug was pulled out from under me. Yesterday morning, I was still reeling from the high of finishing New Balance’s 25k unscathed and feeling more confident over the upcoming Singapore half [...]

- All Roads Lead to Clark
My bags are packed, well, they’re overpacked with double of everything for running, more than enough Sports Beans and Power Gels to carry me through an ultramarathon, and our New Balance Power Race bibs with extra sets of safety pins.

- Fit & Fun Buddy Run on Inquirer Last Week
Okay, this is doubly late news. I’m talking about The Robinson’s Fit & Fun Buddy Run that was featured in Maurice Arcache’s Without Batting an Eyelash column last Wednesday, November 5. It’s doubly late because we all know that the Buddy Run was held last July 27. Here’s the funny thing: the hubby and I [...]

After two short trips to the rest room, I made my way to the assembly area in search of my training group for our 15km run. JunC, Jay, [...]
