- Top 3 Ultramarathon Tips from Bataan Death March Ultramarathoners (Part 2)
I asked 11 Bataan Death March Ultramarathoners (see their profile here) for their top 3 tips for wannabe ultramarathoners. Here’s what they said:
- What Would You Do for Love?
I would run a marathon for you.
That’s what Tank Turner (Dane Cook) told Alexis (Kate Hudson) in the movie “My Best Friend’s Girl.” It wasn’t a great movie, but I loved that line. Well, I kinda fall for anything that’s associated with running.So, how far would you run to prove your love for your partner? [...]
- What Are You Doing this Valentine’s?
So, what are you doing this Valentine’s Day?
Please don’t tell me about your candlelit dinner by the bay nor the meal you plan to whip up for your partner; I don’t care for that (although you could tell the hubby so he’d get some ideas.) I’m more curious to find out how active, adventurous [...] - Can You Spot Coach Rio?
I was viewing Leica Carpo’s photo in NYC Marathon again last night. And, lo and behold, I was surprised to discover that Coach Rio secretly ran the marathon too. Seems like he put on some weight though (don’t we all when we’re abroad?) and quickly shed it off before he flew back to Manila.
Can [...] - 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 [...] - The Happy Run – Part 2

GOOD JOB:
- [...] - Sick Leave
Just when I thought I could start training again, I was struck by a slight fever, achy bones, and a tummy ache yesterday. I spent the entire day in bed consumed by an overall feeling of blahness, thinking about 1) the near perfect weather for swimming, 2) missed gym visit that day, 3) downgrading my [...]
- The Bull RAN
It was The Bull Run yesterday and this bull missed it.
No whining nor complaining from me though. This 2009, the brand new bull is choosing her races wisely. And, this Bull Run, despite winning best race name in my book (heehee), was one that I knew I could skip with a smile.
You see, by [...] - Desperate Runner
- My xray results. No fractures here. -
“Are you desperate?” This was the question that my good ol’ doctor posed before me soon after he reviewed the tibia xray I submitted to him last Thursday. After visiting him regularly (perhaps “way too often” is a better description) the past weeks, he ruled out a fracture [...]
