- Baguio Bliss
You know you’re a runner when part of the excitement over an upcoming trip comes from the chance to run a new route, to give your feet the opportunity to experience something extraordinary. Nothing will stop you, not a hectic itinerary, an injury, nor lack of sleep.
- Back From Baguio
Aaaah, back from a 5-day trip in the City of Pines. It was supposed to be a vacation, but work beckoned so most of my mornings were simply bonding moments with my laptop looking out at the golfers from the verandah of Baguio Country Club. The rest of the time was spent with family fulfilling [...]
- Happy One Month Zero Runniversary to Me
It was time to flip the family calendar last night from one month to the next, an event that my kiddos look forward to every month as they get to choose which stickers to apply for upcoming activities. They have stickers for family trips, haircut, sleepovers, and more while I just pull out a thick, [...]
- TBR on Good Times with Mo
I was driving home this morning from a long morning at the pool with TI instructor, Nonoy, and classmate, Dondi, and as always I was listening to my favorite morning habit on 89.9, “Good Times with Mo” with Mo Twister, Mojo, and Grace Lee. There is not a weekday (except Fridays when they’re not [...]
- 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 [...]
- 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, [...]
- 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 [...]
- 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 [...]
- Meeting Mike: Fastest Pinoy at NYC Marathon
Not too many people knew that, during the Nike Clinic at Ultra last night, the fastest Pinoy runner at the recently held NYC Marathon was in their midst. No surprise, because this guy silently arrived with just a couple of his friends, clad in the most unassuming attire one could choose: a white shirt and [...]
