  • Condura Flashed Before my Eyes

    Two weeks ago, Alvin and I were running around Bonifacio Global City when I tripped and surged forward almost falling flat on my face.  In those 3 seconds, it wasn’t my life that flashed before my eyes, it was Condura Marathon.
    Last week, again with Alvin, we were warming up for our tempo run when a [...]

  • Century Superbods Run Press Con

    Guess where I was earlier today?  I was less than two feet away from Derek Ramsay and his well-toned abs.  I was so near I could practically feel it.  Too bad he kept it well hidden underneath his shirt.
    It was the press conference for the CENTURY SUPERBODS RUN at National Sports Grill in Greenbelt 3. [...]

  • Happy Birthday, Tita Cory

    – Mayi, Jake, and Pio (in the back) before the run -
    Last night, the iamNinoy Runners Group donned their yellow shirts and gathered at Bonifacio High Street to run for what would’ve been our beloved President Corazon Aquino’s 77th Birthday.  With yellow balloons in hand, we ran easy, “kwento” pace around BHS in memory [...]

  • 1st Run Green Marathon

    As with everything in every parents’ life, our kids’ needs come before ours. When it comes to running, the same is true.
    Last Sunday, I planned on running 35km while hubby’s goal was 20km. Thing is, two weeks ago, our kids expressed interest for the 3k DLSZ run in Ayala Alabang, so the entire family was [...]

  • MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE

    They say “You’ll never forget your first.” And, when it comes to my first marathon, it is definitely true.
    When I crossed the finish line at my first marathon at QCIM, the feeling was overwhelming and unforgettable.  Going a step further, I would say it was life-changing. I found a new confidence and strength that I [...]

  • Is Running Bad for my Teeth?

    I was happily chewing on my holiday indulgence (even if the holidays are over), chocolate almonds from Classic Confections, when I bit into something much harder than an almond. To my horror, it was a quarter of my molar!
    By the next day, I was at the dentist’s clinic having it mended. I thought a simple [...]
