- 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 shouldn’t [...] - Perfect Saturday Run
Last Saturday, Hubby and I woke up early in the morning eager to get dressed for our date. That’s a date for a long, slow run with running friends, that is…
- What’s in Your Bag?
Having left a ton of stuff before yesterday’s run, I thought I’d prepare a Running Checklist to avoid little mishaps in the future and to help newbie runners determine what to dump (or remove) from their bags before a workout…
- Forgetful Jones
My sister and i often joke about how forgetful we’ve become ever since we were injected with anesthesia during our children’s births. We forget a story midway through a conversation, we leave one or two items more often than we would like to admit…
- Double Training Day
As corny as it sounds, the greatest gift this blog has given me was the opportunity to meet people who share the same passion for running as I do. Yesterday, I realized that I started and ended the day with some of these people with whom I have had the good fortune of training (and [...]
- To Pee or Not To PR
To pee or not to PR, yes, that is my question.
As I mentioned in a previous post, in the much too green November 2008 issue of Runner’s World (page 44 for those of you who have a copy), they said that “one or two cups of coffee or tea an hour before a hard [...] - Playing Catch-Up
Hospital duties left me feeling bloated and cranky. I missed days of running, consumed every little thing in sight due to sheer boredom (from Boy Bawang to butong pakwan), and temporarily lost the ability to sweat within the four walls of that tiny air-conditioned room.
The only training I got this week was a measly 30 [...] - Saturday Long Runs
After months of slowly building my mileage to 10k, I finally feel strong enough to restart my weekly ritual of Saturday long runs with Annie. FINALLY!
Yesterday, Annie and I ran 13k at an average pace of 6:18 min/km around the village. Every week—barring weekend work, a race, or the recurrence of shin splints (knock on [...] - I Missed You!
I worked till 11 or 12 last night. The hubby arrived from a meeting shortly after. We were both exhausted. But, before heading off to sleep, I started packing my bags for an early morning run. Hubby asked if I’d be able to wake up at 5 am. I replied “I have no idea but [...]
- Virtual Training Run
You are cordially invited to join an international (well, sorta international) group of runners who shall lace up, run the same distance (somewhat) at the same time (okay, that’s one thing we’re sure of) wherever they may be in the world.
DATE: 2 August 2007, Thursday
TIME: 4:30 A.M. (Manila Time)
DISTANCE: 10 km/ 6 miles [...]
