Today, Filipino running icon and my dearest friend, Patrick “RunningShield” Concepcion, passed away. He was the epitome of a real runner – self-effacing, humble, and kind. You would always just see him swiftly, lightly running by with a quick wave and his big smile. To me, he’ll always be running. RIP PatCon. You will be missed. (more…)
Last Dec 2007, Patrick Concepcion, one of the most dedicated and generous runners I know, visited Boracay and enjoyed a beautiful run in its shores. A friend took his photo, which Patrick then sent to Runner’s World U.S.A and Australia. To his pleasant surprise, the Editor of Runner’s World Australia featured his photo and a brief article on Boracay under the “Rave Run” section of its Feb 2008 edition. Way to go, Patrick!
By the way, don’t miss Patrick’s CONDURA RUN on March 2, 2008. The race will be organized by Mr. Rudy Biscocho.
