- The Edsa Run
It was a double run weekend for me. We had our long slow 30k run with TBR Dream Marathoners on Saturday, then I signed up for a hilly 10k race on Sunday: The Edsa Run. Of course, I couldn’t miss this for the world. And, I am so glad I didn’t. It was one fun [...]

- The Last Race of the Year: Rizal Day Run
Until the night before, hubby and I were unsure of signing up for Bald Runner’s 32km Rizal Day Run. I knew I wanted to run, but for how long? I wasn’t quite sure what distance I could handle now that my body and brain are both in off season mode. I ran a 10k yesterday [...]
- Nike Run Manila 5k
It was a toss up between QC International Marathon and Nike 5k two weekends ago. QCIM will always hold a special place in my heart since it was my first unofficial 42km. Yet, I couldn’t bring myself to drive all the way to QC that week for a race I wasn’t planning to…uhm…race. Nike Run [...]
- Race Report: Run BGC
I registered for Run United and Run BGC even before I left for New York. I missed Run United because I didn’t wake up (blame it on the jetlag!) Fortunately, I managed to show up at the Run BGC assembly area last November 28 wondering if I would even survive a 10k run. SLEEPY START [...]
- Part 2: Running NYC Marathon
Wave 3 | Blue Corral | 10:40 a.m. They said it was the coldest New York Marathon in 20 years. I couldn’t agree more as I stood at the foot of the Verazanno-Narrows bridge dressed in a lowly black garbage bag shivering like a wet kitten. My lips were dry, my skin had goosebumps all [...]
- Part 1: NYC Marathon – Getting to the Starting Line
Let me start my NYC Marathon story with this: how we got to the starting line. For first-time New York visitors like us, getting to the race start was as big an adventure as the race itself. Our race (third wave) would start at 10:40 a.m. at Verrazano bridge, but we had to be at [...]

- Southridge Run: First Place!
The day started ominously. I crawled out of bed with my left knee still sore (as it had been all week hence the lack of posts due to minor depression!) I hadn’t had over 5 hours of sleep all week due to work. Breakfast wasn’t satisfying at all with with my favorite Skippy’s Natural Super [...]
