- Running in Sentosa, Singapore
The hubby, kids, and I spent four days at Sentosa the past weekend. We had a fantastic time riding the rides at Universal Studios, hopping on the Skyride and Luge, viewing the sea creatures and watching the pink dolphin show at Underwater Adventure, dining at Festival Walk, and shopping at Orchard Road. Aaah, I almost [...]
- 36
They say you grow wiser with age. I turned 36 over the weekend and, even with the addition of another year under my belt, we sure had one of the worst workout ideas ever. On Saturday, my birthday, I biked 48km and swam 1km. The following day, my plan was to run for 2 hours [...]
- Labor Day Brick at Nuvali
There was a lot of work cut out for us this Labor Day holiday! Friends and I decided to head South for an easy brick session at Nuvali. (“Brick” is a bike then run training session.) It was to be my first brick this year (if you don’t count Tri United 1). When we arrived [...]
- My Highschool Buddies are Now Big Sur Marathoners!
This was us way back in 1992. That’s PWe, Vicky, me, Nich, Joanne, and Rico seated. This was taken during the boys’ highschool graduation from La Salle. We were a bunch of kids who loved golf carting through White Plains, eating Nagaraya at village parks, and sneaking our way into Euphoria or Faces. Through the [...]
- Product Review: Thorlo Experia Socks
When I started running way back in 2006, the only pair of socks I used were thick and long Thorlo socks that I had used way back in college for hiking. (Stop laughing!) As a newbie, I knew little about using runner-specific socks and I relied on the knowledge that Thorlo was a well-known, credible [...]

I got myself a copy of Runner’s World – April-June 2012 with teammate Ani de Leon-Brown on the cover. There’s an article entitled “Best of Running”… Aaaaw, TBR made it to the list of Most Popular Local Running Blogs. Thanks RW Philippines and those who mentioned TBR, especially those who unfailingly continue to read about [...]

I was invited by Jun to be “saling pusa” with Coach Norman and his athletes for a day trip to Subic. The Shiv and I couldn’t refuse. – with Coach Norman Pascual and his triathletes. Thanks for accommodating me! – Plan was to swim 1.6km at Dungaree and bike 40km. I wanted to be home [...]
- Product Review: Powerbreathe
As runners, we’re all trying to find new ways to improve our performance through training. But, only last week, I learned that we could also exercise our breathing muscles and improve our performance. I received a new product called POWERbreathe for testing. – POWERbreathe – – Upon opening the flap – - Inside the box – [...]
- Life’s a Beach
Everything has been fast paced for me lately, so a family trip to the beach was more than welcome. The hubby couldn’t make it due to work, but the new BF and the trainer surely couldn’t be left behind. (Bulls suffer heavily from separation anxiety especially when it comes to new training gear.) Plan was [...]
- Lunch with the Foreign Runner
It’s always nice to catch up with old running blogger friends. So, when we found out Philip and his wife Vina were back in town, we had to call for a get together. Of course, talk was about running, marathons, and triathlons over sinigang na corned beef and crispy pata. – Jay, Vina, Philip, me, [...]
