The Takbo.ph race calendar is already filled with races that would be held months from now. What the heck, the Condura 2011 Marathon is already there, an encouraging sign and proof of the Concepcion brothers’ commitment to what is shaping up to be country’s top road racing series.
Actually, all of the events that I am [...]

Condura, obviously, is February’s main racing event.
Among the distances in the Condura Race, the full is obviously the flagship distance. What the heck, most of the runner-bloggers in my RSS folder(which just about includes the who’s who of the local running world) would be doing the full this February 7.
For March, the main event is [...]

So it’s confirmed - the TNF 100 this year would be held in Baguio.
Most readers would probably know that the TNF 100 is on the top of my “DO AGAIN” or “TO-AVENGE” list. True I would like to run the SCSM again, as a more competent runner. I would like to have a go at [...]

One of the first things I did when my “sabbatical” ended was to schedule my upcoming races. February is packed with important races, so I really hoped that I would be able to start racing this January, to get back into the racing “groove”.
When I checked the race calendar though, I was very disappointed. Not [...]

It’s already October, meaning the full marathon season is almost upon us. October actually has extra significance for me since I started racing on Halloween night last year - meaning, this would be the last month of my first racing year. I honestly can’t believe it - it has been a year already?
For this month [...]

If the last quarter of the year is the full marathon season, September is definitely the half marathon season. As Sam pointed out in a comment, there’s a half marathon in each weekend of September: there’s the Milo Eliminations-San Pablo on September 6, the EcoDash on September 13, the RotaRun on September 20, and finally [...]

This is not a rundown of reasons why you should join the Run for Home. That has been discussed in detail, if not repetitively, in many blogs already. These are just some of my thoughts regarding the upcoming event which is generating so much excitement in the Filipino running community.
It is surprising that the registration [...]

According to the organizers of the VolunteeRun when I registered, the course for the half marathon would consist of a 3 kilometer track ran 7 times. Yes, seven. And to think that I almost abandoned the UP Acad oval as home track when I began training for distances beyond 16K, and that I was thankful [...]

I will be running in the VolunteeRun this coming Sunday.
I thought about running in the Botak event, but decided that it simply doesn’t fit with my plans for Milo(which I hold very very important). It is simply too long(even the 50K), and it would not be wise to risk it.
I was actually ready to register [...]
