I came into this race both excited and apprehensive.
I was excited because it had been three weeks since I last joined a race, the last one being the PIM. While I certainly did not miss waking up at 3:30am every Sunday morning, I did miss the race day atmosphere, and the race day people very [...]

A few days ago I read a really interesting post on Sir Amado’s blog concerning the technology utilized in the Dare to be Fit ‘n Right Fun Run.
Well, just a point of clarification(and a bit of correction) on Sir Amado’s post though. Both the ChampionChip and the “strip” utilize RFID technology. They’re just shaped differently. [...]

Next season
I am really excited about the next season of the show. It’s already great, and I believe it could only get better. I may still not hear it live, but then I’d be making sure to listen to its podcast weekly.
There are still a ton of topics that the Run Radio guys could discuss, [...]

I finally “caught up” with Run Radio.
I must admit, I really didn’t follow the show when it was still actively airing - I just didn’t have the time on Friday nights to tune in, and I really don’t listen to the radio except when driving.
Nevertheless, two weeks ago, I found myself having nothing to do [...]

I am down to my last two races for the year. Shocking, I know, considering that I had months with four races in them. Well, it’s because one of the two is special(and a bit expensive)
I already talked about one of the two, the Power Run, which I nearly missed registering for. It actually fell [...]

It’s more like “Huli man at maswerte” or “Huli man at may 100 pesos” actually.
Quite some time ago, I wrote about how my being a cheapskate cost me the opportunity to register for the New Balance Power Run.
The Power Run, for those of who you had been living under a rock, was cancelled due to [...]

Last time around I wrote about how even Papa Piolo’s presence simply doesn’t make a half marathon worth 750 bucks.
Girls of course might have a different opinion, because, well, they’re girls.
That got me thinking: maybe the presence of another celebrity would change my mind, and that of other guys.
How about we replace Papa Piolo, with, [...]

This Sunday, I would be missing one of November’s running biggest event: the Timex Run.
It’s not because I had grown tired of racing and will no longer join the “garden variety” ones. The Timex Run, as I said, is a major event. I certainly haven’t grown tired of racing. And I still love the small [...]

Something else
I, together with my brother/pacer walked kilometers 32-34. After a walk-free marathon in Subic, I was, once again, back to taking walkbreaks. I am not proud of that but that’s what I did.
Eventually though a second application of liniment took care of the twitching in my calves. The gel which I took at kilometer [...]

Let’s bring it!
Last time around, I wrote that I felt like I would be in a condition to make serious record advances in this race. I still felt like that at the starting line. I started this race strongly. The game plan was to go for a positive split, gain surplus kilometers in the first [...]
