- Sun Fun Run
The sun was covered by clouds today, but it was bright and happy at Sun Cell’s Fun Run at Bonifacio Global City this morning. With the huge set up, the Sun Fun Run looked like a major race that was just as well-organized (or even better) than other public races, but this was actually a corporate [...]
- Pinoys Beat Monks to the Finish at Laguna Phuket International Marathon
I heard Laguna Phuket International Marathon was a huge success. I’m still pounding my head against the wall for getting injured weeks before the race, but hey there’s no point in crying over spilled milk, or in this case, a missed international 42k race in paradise which my legs were absolutely ready for…tsk tsk. Overcast [...]

- 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 [...]
