Salamat, Cory

This is a website about running, but it is a Filipino one as well. So I hope nobody minds me going “off-topic” and putting this up.

Because this is a running website and you know it

I am revamping this website-slash-blog. More specifically, I am dedicating this website-slash-blog to running.
You see, I started this website-slash-blog a month before I started running. I originally planned this to be a personal site, but then running came along, and running-related posts took over. If you read old posts before the “move” though, you’d have [...]

Quits

I have a confession to make.
I don’t see the point in it anymore: the pursuit of PRs, the pain, the injuries, the lost Sunday morning shuteye, everything. At the end of the day, the sport, regardless of the distance, boils down to men in sandos(that’s what singlets are, aren’t they?) and short shorts going around [...]

What is a Boracay trip without a Sandcastle shot?
Boracay certainly was fun, with lots of swimming, trekking, landscape photography, buffeting, and yes, some running as well. Well, with regards to what I wished for:
1. The weather certainly wasn’t as cooperative as I hoped, BUT it certainly was kind enough to give me a [...]

Off to Bora

I’m off to Boracay tomorrow with my family. The timing is kinda awkward, since it’s enrollment week(won’t be able to enroll if not for Pau, actually), and I’d probably even miss the first day of my last subject in UP(and I only have one this sem). But it’s also perfect since it’d serve as a [...]
