Mizuno Run Club, headed by Coach Ige Lopez, is back! Sessions begin on March 26, 2009, every Thursday at Mizuno, Bonifacio High Street. It’s a 10-week training program leading up to the Mizuno Inifinity Run on June 7, 2009.

The run club is open to all runners. But, they are now offering the MIZUNO RUN CLUB MEMBERSHIP to those wearing Mizuno running shoes. If you attend regularly, you get the chance to receive special perks such as free drinks, gift certificate, singlets, and a Mizuno Loyalty Card.

WHAT: RUN FOR THEIR LIVES
WHEN: March 15, 2009
WHERE: Fort Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City
DISTANCE: 3K | 10K
TIME: Assembly 5:00 am | Race Start 6:00 am
FEES: 3K (P150) | 10K (P250)

Have you registered for this Sunday’s race? Obviously, I can’t join this one.  But, I can think of a few good reasons why you should join:

1. Perfect training run right before Condura Race on March 22.  Why don’t you run 10k plus another 5 to 10k after?  That’s what I would’ve done.
2. It’s for a good cause.  Funds raised will help save the lives of children with congenital heart defects.
3. It’s organized by ExTribe, same raise organizer as New Balance 25k last November.
4. You’re not injured like me so you have no right to skip a race on a whim when I’m itching to join one.

While many of us will use next week to train (or taper?) for the upcoming Condura Half Marathon, the Pinoy Ultra Runners will have a long run next Saturday, March 14. How long? Uhm, just the distance from Manila to Tagaytay.

The beneficiary of this run is the Brain Foundation which aims to help neurosurgical indigent patients. If you wish to help, email pinoyultrarunners@yahoo.com or visit their websites:

Oh boy, I want to join this!  More info to follow soon…

Condura launches it’s Condura Race website today.  Click here to visit.  Undoubtedly, it is the best race website I’ve seen; a close 2nd was the recently held Happy Run.

– Look who’s photo found its way on the site! –

As if I wasn’t excited enough about running on the Skyway, they enumerated 9 other reasons why we should join the race.  And, I have to admit, they piqued my interest even more with the Condura Expo (wow, I hope there are huge discounts), a finisher’s medal, marching bands, cheering zones, and last but not the least, running with the stars (heehee). 

This race is definitely one of the premier running events in the country.  It’s probably a race that will be comparable to international running events.  Oh boy, time to start training, or in my case, heal from injuries…quick.  See you all there!
