- New Balance 760 Night Race Rainbow Pack
This Bull’s eye spotted running shoes a couple of days ago at Runnr: New Balance 760 Night Race Rainbow Pack. Talk about starting the new year with a bang! First time I spotted something close to these bright and bold NB shoe colors was way back in December 2009 when David of Team Fatbird had [...]
- A Letter from a Best Friend
Today, Vicky, one of five of my dearest friends, turns 35. We first met in Prep and then became the best of friends in the 3rd Grade. – Costume party at Vicky’s house. She’s in a pretty princess outfit. My brothers had the wonderful idea of dressing me up as a…golfer. I’m right beside Vicky [...]
- The Last Race of the Year: Rizal Day Run
Until the night before, hubby and I were unsure of signing up for Bald Runner’s 32km Rizal Day Run. I knew I wanted to run, but for how long? I wasn’t quite sure what distance I could handle now that my body and brain are both in off season mode. I ran a 10k yesterday [...]
- Merry Christmas, Runners!
A runner’s Christmas is all about… …running with people you enjoy being with so much that you wish the run would never end – after this morning’s run with Jun and Annie – …hitting the road at 5am when the weather is nippy just to get the chance to wear all the long-sleeved, dri fit [...]
- Happy Holiday Running
Best running buddy is back home from Singapore! Of course, we had to celebrate her homecoming with a run. Annie and I dashed through our playground yesterday in between guffaws and short walk breaks (we are so not in serious training mode) to cover 7k of one of the first of our many holiday runs [...]
- Men’s Health – December 2010
Guess who’s on Men’s Health’s December issue? Uhm…aside from Rich Herrera… Yup. You’ll find me in one of the back pages… Thanks to the magic of makeup I look like a speed demon here. A friend had the perfect description for this photo: “very bullish!” Thanks to Men’s Health and Peejo Pilar!
- All Systems Go for Condura Skyway Marathon
This is what I wrote about Condura Race in 2010: “If Condura Run hopes to remain as one of the best races in the country, it must step up its offerings next year and inject newer, fresher ideas to compete with world-class local races that runners will definitely see this year.” And, after the bloggers [...]

- Nike Run Manila 5k
It was a toss up between QC International Marathon and Nike 5k two weekends ago. QCIM will always hold a special place in my heart since it was my first unofficial 42km. Yet, I couldn’t bring myself to drive all the way to QC that week for a race I wasn’t planning to…uhm…race. Nike Run [...]
