- Part 2: Running NYC Marathon
Wave 3 | Blue Corral | 10:40 a.m. They said it was the coldest New York Marathon in 20 years. I couldn’t agree more as I stood at the foot of the Verazanno-Narrows bridge dressed in a lowly black garbage bag shivering like a wet kitten. My lips were dry, my skin had goosebumps all [...]
- 15% off New Running Shoes Thanks to my NYC Hangover & The Brick
I confess. I’m still on vacation/recovery mode. That should explain why I haven’t even blogged about NYC Marathon. Why I can’t write much about running (it’s the last thing I want to think of right now). Why I’ve only run 5k since the marathon yet I’m not complaining. And, why I haven’t told anyone I’m [...]

- Part 1: NYC Marathon – Getting to the Starting Line
Let me start my NYC Marathon story with this: how we got to the starting line. For first-time New York visitors like us, getting to the race start was as big an adventure as the race itself. Our race (third wave) would start at 10:40 a.m. at Verrazano bridge, but we had to be at [...]
- ING New York City Marathon Aftermath
I did it! – My ultimate running dream and 5th 42km: ING NYC Marathon – My New York City Marathon was the slowest 42k I ever ran. Unofficial time was 4:56:38, a far cry from what I had hoped and trained for. I thought I was ready, but as it is with marathons (and in [...]
- NYC Marathon Preps
That’s it. I’m done. Not with the race, but with preparations for tomorrow’s race! Wow. Gearing up for a cold marathon (temperature is expected to be in the low 50s while we run, but while waiting in the corral it should be around 32. Yikes!) is so different (and so much more complicated) than preparing [...]
- NYC Marathon Expo
Hello from New York! Here I am by Central Park with a race banner above my head saying “ING NYC Marathon: Where the World Comes to Run.” Runners of various nationalities are all over New York getting their running fix—whether its by running short runs before the big day around the city or shopping for [...]
- Run BGC on 28 Nov
I’m a thousand miles away and NYC Marathon is the primary race in mind (we depart LA tonight for NY…Woohoo!) yet I know I’m going to enjoy an easy run on Run BGC a couple of weeks after I arrive in Manila. I think it’s the perfect race for me to recover from the marathon, [...]
