- Kraft Run: First Place, Baaaby!
Some friends and I are all currently deep in training for various marathons: JunB for Camsur in September, Lit for Portland in October, and the hubby, JunC, Mariel and I for New York in November. Almost every weekend we try to do our long runs together. Plan for last Sunday was to run a total [...]
- Camsur? Cam-sure!
The best thing about being bull headed is that I rarely ever give in to peer pressure. I try something new only because I want to, not because everyone else is doing it.
That explains why, early in my childhood, when my cousins would practice for weeks and finally dance to “Frosty the Snowman” in [...] - H is for Hills…and Higad
Yesterday, my NYC Training Program required hill training of 11km. I wanted to run outdoors, but for the first time, I was apprehensive and anxious about it. The mere thought caused sweat to drip down my forehead even before I started to run.
You see, during my last run, I spotted three higads in different [...] - Save the Date: TBR Dream Marathon on 6 March 2011

- Weekend for the Kids: Run to Read and U.P.
For the past weeks, hubby and I have been focused on training for NYC Marathon. We run separately on weekdays due to our chaotic schedules and run together on weekends. We usually run easy on Saturday mornings then join a race on Sundays. Both weekend mornings have been devoted to running.
Last week, after all the [...] - Mommy Milkshake Marathon 2010
The rain didn’t stop all the mommies (and grandmothers, kids, and preggy women…plus their partners) from running the Mommy Milkshake Marathon at Bonifacio High Street yesterday.

Our entire family, including my niece, showed up for the race armed with two umbrellas. Hubby [...] - Running at Venare, Nuvali
Last July 31, 2010, I was invited to give an inspirational talk on running for NUVALI’s new residential development, Venare. The unique event was called TRY-ATHLON encouraging the guests to give various sports a try: running, aqua aerobics, yoga, football, and more.

- The Runaway Maid
She stayed with us for less than a month. And, when she left, we didn’t know that she had robbed us of items almost three times worth her monthly salary.
It turns out that our crooked maid had a love for running! Except for cash, all the items she stole were for running:
1) My Mizuno Wave [...] - The Bestie is Back
Whenever Annie is visiting Manila from Singapore where she’s based, we make the most out of the little time we have together. For some women, that would mean countless hours of spa dates, shopping sprees, and long chats over coffee. Not for Annie and I.
We spend our time running as much as we can.
MONDAY
Last Monday, [...] - Sick of Being Sick
Talk about perfect timing. I had fever a few days ago and I’ve been coughing endlessly (and loudly) all week. With the nebulizer in my mouth last night, I easily computed the amount of hours I worked out all week: ZERO.
To think I was overly thrilled about NYC Marathon Training starting this week.
