Improved my time in Takbo Para sa Puso

During the Runnex @ 25 race a couple of weeks back, I finished in 1 hr 3 minutes. In Takbo Para sa Puso’s race this morning, my unofficial time according to my Polar is 1 hr 1 minute and 2 seconds! OMG! If I had run a little bit faster, I could claim to the [...]
Running Essentials: Road ID
Posted in Running, tagged Lifesaver, Philippines, Road ID, Run, Running, Wrist ID on May 19, 2008 | 7 Comments »
Last December, I have decided to get myself a Road ID bracelet. It does makes sense to get one because if you are like me who does not bring an ID when I run (just one key in my pocket), it will be extremely hard if ever I get into trouble (knock on wood) and [...]

It had been steadily raining since Saturday night and when I woke up early for the Pasig Run on Sunday, the rain has not stopped. A couple of my co-workers and myself were sending SMS messages back and forth, unsure if the races for that day will push thru and if they are, are we [...]

We signed up for the Pasig ULTRA Run during the Champion Run Along the River event.
While eating yummy lugaw or goto (can’t tell the difference) and lumpiang toge in one of the carinderias at Marikina Riverpark, we noticed a registration booth nearby. It’s for next Sunday’s run at the ULTRA. We haven’t joined any race [...]
Thoughts on Marikina 2nd Champion Run Along the River

My unreliable Polar is telling me the Marikina 2nd Champion Run Along the River is 11.46kms! I have never ran a race where my watch tells me it is exactly 10kms or 15kms. At least it is consistent in a way.
How did I fare? My official time is 1:12:41 with a pace of 6:36. A [...]

Looking forward to tomorrow’s Marikina 10K run. The last time I was in Marikina was during the Tour of the Fireflies in April. I was surprised how clean the city is. I haven’t checked out the route for tomorrow’s run but if it involves the view of the river, I know it will be one [...]
