- I am Flat Footed and I am Proud of It
To all flat footed runners out there, repeat after me: ”I am flat footed and I am proud of it!” I read an article on New York times today that ends this way: “Dr. Nigg says he always wondered what was wrong with having flat feet. Arches, he explains, are an evolutionary remnant, needed by [...]
- When Runners Wed
When runners wed, they don’t just send out typical formal invitations. They make you feel like you’ve been registered for a special race. When runners wed, all runner guests scrap their morning training runs for the wedding (or at least they postpone it for later in the day.) When runners wed, they share their vows [...]
- The Edsa Run on 27 February 2011
Block your running schedules for a meaningful race that’ll make heroes out of each one of us. More details to follow.
- Fat Jeans
I bought my pair of “fat jeans” in Gap in the U.S. after I realized that wearing my regular jeans from Manila might 1) cut my blood circulation, 2) have my jeans rip apart as I sat on the subway, 3) not allow me to eat any morsel of NYC food, or 4) all of [...]

- Kool ‘N Fit Sport Conditioning Fluid
I was given Kool ‘N Fit Conditioning Fluid late last year for product testing. It came at the perfect time as I was training heavily for New York. Even better that the generous supplier provided more than enough to share so I asked friends from my training group to spray to their hearts’ content and [...]
- The Galloway Method: Tickets on Sale Now
It was our dream to fly THE Jeff Galloway into Manila. It’s surreal that he’s finally arriving in less than a month’s time! You MUST be there to join us! Jeff Galloway is a legend in the running world. He is a world-class athlete and a member of the 1972 US Olympic Team. He is [...]
- Senti over Cebu
Just a few more days until the 2nd Cebu Marathon. I won’t be flying in this time, but my thoughts will be with all the 6,250 participants (including over a thousand marathoners!) who have registered for the race. – Thanks to race organizer, John Pages, for sending me this long lost photo just today! This [...]
