- Run then Eat at Mercato Centrale
After an easy run last Sunday with friends (tapering off for California International Marathon already), I dropped by Mercato Centrale at Bonifacio Global City to buy food for a potluck lunch with my mom and siblings. My sis, Janice, was there to help me choose among the tons of food. Janice co-owns Mercato Centrale along with [...]
- TBR DM: 1st Weight Management Session
Last November 22, 2011, TBR Dream Marathoners who had the good fortune of obtaining limited slots for the free TBR DM Weight Management Sessions with Armand and Mitch Mendoza met up for their 1st session. The first get together was held at Jamba Juice in Bonifacio High Street. Jamba Juice Managing Director Sharon Fuentebella gave [...]
- Running for Jamba Juice
Jamba Juice is in Manila! This is great news for us Pinoys as we become more health conscious. But, it’s even better news for us runners since fruit shakes and juices are great ways for us to nourish our bodies. The kiddos and I dropped by for the VIP opening of Jamba Juice last Thursday [...]
- The Day Before the New York City Marathon 2011
My cousin, Celine and I woke up to a slow and sleepy Saturday morning and set out for a half day of shopping ahead. Of course, shopping had to be brief because I didn’t want to stay on my feet all day. – We shopped around the midtown area and hunted for my Canon S100 [...]
- Gatorade Sweat Test for NYCM
In preparation for New York City Marathon, Gatorade invited Anthony Pangilinan and I for a Gatorade Sweat Test, a test conducted by the Gatorade Sports Science Institute (GSSI) more commonly to elite athletes from Philippines National Teams to the Azkals. They’ve also done the test for the Polo Tri Team. The Gatorade Sweat Test basically [...]
- 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 [...]
- TBR 30: Q&A with Mitch Felipe-Mendoza
Hi TBR 30 Challenger: it’s Day 13 of our commitment to eat right for 30 days! How have you been doing? So far, we are over 100 runners strong and counting! To help us stick with the program and learn more about proper nutrition, I’ve interviewed Mitch Felipe-Mendoza, one of my favorite nutritionists to bug about [...]
- Day 6: TBR 30 Eat Right Challenge
Wow. I had humble expectations for this group. I wasn’t sure how many of you were willing to eat right with me for a full month. But, it turns out that a lot of us—99 as of the moment (including myself and the “shy” TBR 30 participants who emailed or texted me about the participation [...]
- TBR on Food Magazine – July 2011
Thanks to Food, especially Ianne Sison-Evangelista and Nana Ozaeta, for giving me the opportunity to write “Eat to Run” for the July 2011 issue of their magazine. (Am I the only that’s noticed that when I’m injured, food is the only other thing on my mind? Hah!) I wrote about my daily food regimen, how [...]
- The First Day of the Rest of Your Healthy Life
Yey! As I type this, we’re now 26 42 77 runners on the TBR 30 Challenge! I’m feeling two things right now: 1) Excited about the journey we’re all going to go through together, and uhm 2) Nervous because, man oh man, there’s no backing out now! Hah! You probably feel the same way, don’t [...]
