- Riovana Sports Recovery Center
I’m a sucker for spas and deep tissue massages. I also know the value of therapy and treatments for muscle tightness or injuries performed by licensed physical therapists. So, when I dropped by the new Sports Recovery Center on the 2nd floor of Riovana in Bonifacio High Street, I thought I had died and gone [...]
- Product Review: Sensacare Universal Pack
Ice is a runner’s best friend. It’s surely mine, especially after a long run! Icing an injury can help reduce inflammation or swelling and speed up recovery period. Even without injury, icing a specific body part that’s prone to injury can help prevent problems during training. TIPS FOR ICING AN INJURY: Ice, ice, ice immediately [...]
- 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, [...]
- Inspired by Hope
I ran 15k yesterday, the longest distance I’ve covered the past couple of months since Morton Schmorton Neuroma attacked my little toes. Wow. I was over the moon about hitting the road once again in such pristine weather conditions and among a fantastic group of running friends. Friends would often ask throughout the run: How’s [...]
- Freedom to Walk Again
Today is the first day I could walk again without limping, discomfort, or pain. I didn’t know how much I took walking (and running) for granted until now. After 25 days of wobbling like Erap, I can finally say good riddance to my cane and meds! – I had to buy a cane in Megamall [...]
- Black Lines
I should have been in Phuket today. Right this very minute, I should be running towards the finish line. Or, I could have been participating in my 3rd triathlon, Animo Tri at Ayala Alabang this morning. Lord knows how hard I trained for the swim portion of that race. Or, I could have spent my [...]
- What Is Morton’s Neuroma?
I consulted a new doctor today upon the advise of a triathlete doctor friend. I entered his clinic expecting the worst. I had mentally prepared myself for terrible news: a fracture, a shoebox cast, and no running for over 2 months. (That’s what I get for scaring myself with my own “expert” xray readings. Now [...]
- What Does Not Kill Me Will Only Make Me Stronger
C’mon sing with me and Kanye… As much as I detest Kanye for treating Taylor Swift so rudely, I would have to admit that his voice—and that song of his above—has been playing on my mind almost the entire day. What doesn’t kill me will only make me stronger. As soon as we arrived from [...]
- A Cruel Joke
I wish someone was pulling my leg. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. And, after coming from my doctor this morning, I’ve learned that something else was pulled—my muscles. Two of them, to be exact. Last Thursday was like any other day. Jun, Lit and I met at the track for speedwork. But, there was one [...]
- 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…
