- Out Running
You know how some of these running shops have this cool sign “Out Running” displayed on their doors when no staff is in sight. Well, I took the liberty to make my own for TBR. See above. (Yes, I still have a lot of time to design completely useless stuff for your entertainment.) You see, [...]
- Camp Run Series
Last month, race organizer ExTribe launched its Camp Run series which is composed of several running events throughout the year all at, where else, Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City hence the series name. Camp Run will feature a military or boot camp theme, a unique race format, and a novel route for the runners. It will [...]
- Avon Run to 125,000 Kisses
On its 125th anniversary, Avon will stage a nationwide race called “Avon Run to 125,000 Kisses” to raise funds to essentially “kiss” breast cancer goodbye. It’s going to be a walk/run event held at SM Mall of Asia on October 2, 2011. I’ll be there! Hope to see you all.
- Shoe Review: Nike Lunar Glide+ 3
The world knows I’m a huge Nike Lunar Glide fan. I was never a fan of Nike running shoes until the first Lunar Glide came along. I used the Nike Lunar Glide+ for all my five marathons so far. It has literally gone the distance with me. The recently released Nike Lunar Glide+ 3 is [...]
- Three Things I Loved about NBA Fit Run
The rains didn’t stop me from running at the NBA Fit Run this morning and it turns out neither did it stop all 6,000 runners that showed up. Organized by Runrio, the NBA Fit Run was another well-organized race event where everything from the course to marshals and hydration stations were provided. This was definitely a [...]
- What’s Your Favorite Part of a Marathon?
What’s the best part of the marathon for you? The common answer is, of course, the finish line. Words cannot explain the fulfillment one feels after running the long and arduous 42.195 kilometers of a marathon. Other runners will answer the start or perhaps midway when they encountered a helping hand, a discovery of their [...]
- Sun Fun Run
The sun was covered by clouds today, but it was bright and happy at Sun Cell’s Fun Run at Bonifacio Global City this morning. With the huge set up, the Sun Fun Run looked like a major race that was just as well-organized (or even better) than other public races, but this was actually a corporate [...]
- Timex 226 Bohol Triathlon
I was in my own little world wondering when I’ll ever join and finish a sprint triathlon—there’s none anytime soon and the Speedo NAGT in October conflicts with my sched—when I heard about the Timex 226 Bohol Triathlon in Anda, Bohol. I was floored. Isn’t it amazing how our local races just keep improving and, [...]
- Of Butterfly Wings and Birthday Runs
Last Sunday morning, I woke up at 3 AM to the sound of rain dropping heavily on our rooftop. My first thought: Poor Milo Marathoners. I couldn’t imagine running a 42k for over 4 hours under heavy rain with soaked socks and raisin-like feet. Having said that, running a distance less than a full in [...]
- TBR 30: Eat Right Challenge Continues…
So our 30 day challenge ended two days ago. How did you fare? As for my 30 days, I was eating properly probably 90% of the time. Admittedly, there were times when I couldn’t resist temptation or I just completely forgot about my commitment to eat properly. Whoops. (Apologies for failing to remind you too [...]
