- Singapore Marathon, Here I Come!
In a couple of minutes, I’ll be packing for Singapore. Hubby and I take the earliest flight out tomorrow morning and head back to Manila Sunday evening…
- A New Leaf
Funny how I feel like I’m starting anew right smack in the middle of the year. Amid the chaos caused by H1N1 and the storm Feria, I sit here typing with a sense of stability, fortitude, and an eagerness to move forward with my running..
- Myotherapy at Intercare
Thank God for thoughtful friends. Concerned about my injured state, Kim, our 2nd mommy during the Singapore Marathon last year who is currently training for the Bataan Death March Ultramarathon, called yesterday to offer some wise advise: Get a deep massage…regularly. Her doctor advised her to get a massage after EVERY run and she swears [...]
- Promises Shwamises
So, I didn’t make it to Doc Fit last Sunday. I was afraid of aggravating the ITBS, I was exhausted from work that morning, and quite frankly I was simply too lazy to drive all the way to U.P. for a run that I couldn’t even really race in. Blah…
I did make it to a [...] - To Doc Fit or Not
Should I run or not? I’m registered for Doc Fit 10k tomorrow and I’m still undecided about showing up.
Let’s see. Since January, I’ve sought the advice of two of the more popular ortho surgeons, two acupuncturists, and a great PT. All have advised me to CONTINUE RUNNING, with a matching reassuring look whenever I ask [...] - Injuries are Nothing
For the past three months, I have spent huge amounts of time wallowing in frustration, anger, depression and self-pity over this ITBS injury. For an addicted runner, there’s nothing like a stubborn injury to give you the blues.
This morning, as I was massaging my tight ITB, my sister calls to deliver the horrible and [...] - Missing Asian Hospital’s RUNew
After a fairly good 8k Sunday morning run with the hubby, I was psyched. We had lunch at The Fort Strip and, over lunch, all the positive energy in my body told me that I could join Asian Hospital’s RUNew this coming Sunday. Since there’s no 10k in the race, we decided that we would [...]
- TBR 2×6 Recovery Program
It seems to be working! My homemade training recipe to rid me of Runner’s Knee and ITB problems is finally showing positive results. Maybe Jun is right, I should start calling myself Dr. Bull Runner due to my extensive experience with injuries.
Last month, I created the “TBR 2 x 6 Recovery Program” which goes [...] - TBR. ITB. LOL.
I am going insane. Or, I think I’ve gone psycho already.
I realized a couple of days ago that, by February 7, it will be the 2nd anniversary of my knee injury. Since Singapore Marathon, I’ve been able to run easy 5ks with manageable pain on the left knee, but I haven’t ran any of those [...] - Dry Needling Works Wonders for Tight Muscles
I was on that patient’s bed for a full 50 minutes this morning, lying flat on my stomach while squeezing a poor pillow to death, with my eyes shut tight for fear that I’d dash out the door once I saw those needles. Either I’m crazy or I’m a masochist, I thought. No one forced me [...]
