- Running in Central Park: Last Run before NYCM 2011
This morning, Rico, Angela, Anthony and I ran our last run before the New York City Marathon 2011 this Sunday. We met at the corner of 59th and 5th, right by the Apple store (oh, this run was for you, Steve!) and made our way across to Central Park. – with Rico and Angela doing [...]

- Out Running
You know how some of these running shops have this cool sign “Out Running” displayed on their doors when no staff is in sight. Well, I took the liberty to make my own for TBR. See above. (Yes, I still have a lot of time to design completely useless stuff for your entertainment.) You see, [...]

- 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 [...]
