- Holy Week Training
As long as we fulfill our religious duties, we can use our free time this Holy Week to train, rest, and train. Well, that’s what I’ve done the past few days. This morning, we got a good group together for a long 25k run that turned into a shorter 14k run. I felt ill at [...]
- The Next Step Triathlon Camp Review
Last April 9 to 11, 2011, I was invited to join The Next Step Triathlon Camp of Coach Dan Brown and Ani de Leon in Subic. Although I’ve done two mini sprints in the past few years, I still never considered myself a triathlete. I’ve been a “wannabe triathlete” for God knows how long. The [...]
- I Survived Tri Camp…and I Loved It!
I’m back from the 3-day Next Step Triathlon Camp in Subic! I survived! No jellyfish stings, Mom! – I couldn’t have asked for a better group to hang out with at tri camp: my teammates at Team Hammer Bic (2nd) and Mike (Right) with Dr. Adel who guided me all through my 2nd bike ride [...]
- Thy Nerves Be Calm
Can you guess where I’ll be over the weekend? I’ll be at camp. The Next Step Tri Camp with Dan Brown and Ani de Leon in Subic to be exact! I’ve been fortunate enough to have been invited to join as media partner. How do I feel about it? It brings back memories of my [...]
- Bike Basics with Patrick Joson
Twice this week, this newbie biker girl attended Bike Basics sessions with Patrick Joson. Like I’ve said before, I am the most clueless person I know when it comes to bikes, so Pat’s invitation couldn’t have come at a better time. Patrick started our one-on-one session by teaching me the parts of the bike (so [...]
- Life Happens
While the rest of the world was at Camsur Marathon over the weekend, Hubby and I rushed Little Miss TBR into the E.R., watched a mascot go naked before our eyes, and showed up 30 minutes late for our regular Sunday long run with friends over the weekend. SICK ON HER 6TH Little Miss TBR counted [...]
- TIPS ON RUNNING RACES SAFELY FROM THE EXPERTS
During last Sunday’s 34th Milo Marathon, a young male runner gunning for his 21km PR, collapsed 1km away from the finish line and was rushed to the hospital. Sadly, he passed away yesterday. I haven’t stopped thinking about him since I heard the news. I’ve collapsed once when I had just started running, and so [...]
- BACK TO BACK HARD DAYS
So, the TBR Dream Marathoners should have run their most crucial long run yesterday. Many of us ran at NUVALI together (click HERE to view how much fun we had there), but the heat was so intense by 7 a.m. that some runners fell short of their goal distance or time. We all know they [...]

- Baguio Day One: Camp John Hay Run
We were to spend 4 days in Baguio for Holy Week. I packed 5 sets of running clothes. Just to be sure, right? Running in cool weather—with the El Nino heat of Manila—was an opportunity that this runner wanted to take full advantage of. DAY ONE: 10K | CAMP JOHN HAY I run in Camp [...]
