- Running is Not my Life
Believe it or not, there was a time in my life when the R word was not mentioned at all at home or with friends. The only time we used it was when mommy would RUN errands, or we RAN out of fresh milk, or I wanted to RUN away from nasty clients.
If you gave [...] - THE BULL RUNNER DREAM MARATHON – 22 May 2010

I woke up at 3 a.m. yesterday morning expecting to run a slow and easy 32km at the first Quezon City International Marathon. Little did I know that I would end the race as a marathoner. Yes, I finally achieved my long time dream of finishing the full 42.195km. You’re surprised? I was too…
- Hood to Coast: Best Race Ever!
It was my turn to run. As I saw Cool Aussie running towards me, I took a deep breath, grabbed the green band from his hand, and set off to run my first leg…
- Animo Triathlon 2009 – Part 1
This was so much more fun than my first triathlon last year! While the first tri was a race to finish, this one was a race to beat—not others—but myself. I jotted down my time for each sport in last year’s Animo Tri…
- I’ll Miss You, Annie
This evening, my bestest running buddy, Annie, will be on a flight to Singapore to start a new job there. As much as I want to be happy for her, I can’t help but feel otherwise. My running soulmate and partner-in-crime is leaving. And, I am completely devastated.
We met way back in the summer [...] - My Singapore Half Marathon Experience
I’m sitting here trying to organize my thoughts and I don’t know where to start. How can one find the words to share such an amazing experience, one that occurred in a little over two hours, but forever changed the way I think about myself and the way I will view life? How can one [...]
- A Tribute Run For Dad
Last October 30, 2008, my dearest Daddy went to sleep and never woke up again. He passed away at 78 in his own bed with half of the family at home with him. We are still grieving, but there is comfort in knowing that he left with peace in his heart and a gentle smile [...]
- Meet Other Runners
Calling All Runners—who have a mere minute to spare!
I created a new page called “Meet Other Runners.” It’s main purpose is for all of us to celebrate the passion we have for running and to learn from and about each other. Sounds very deep huh? A third reason is, quite frankly, just to [...] - Mad About Running
It’s the greatest high ever. To hear my feet beating down on the pavement in a drumlike, almost hypnotizing rhythm. To feel the wind brush against my face and smell its fresh breath kissing my cheeks. To reunite with Strength and Freedom, formidable friends I hope to encounter more often in life [...]
