2010 i2goal - enjoy running

2010 i2goal – enjoy running

It took me a while to decide what goals to aim for this year. Now last year, I believe I have been ambitious for my actual abilities and though I did accomplish them, I have really suffered at the latter part of the year with injuries. I learned my lessons the hard way. 6months after the marathon, I

Mizuno Infinity Run Expo 2010

I got a little confused searching takbo.ph's racing schedule because the Mizuno Run was removed. Then I looked at facebook, it seems that they moved the race to April 2010. Now here is the official information from Mizuno (Tha dates are quite easy to remember 1.10.10, and 4.11.10). I think I'll sche

Nike Lunar Racer Review

Nike Lunar Racer Review

In order to run a faster 5K someday, one of takbo.ph's speed king Ritchie Alava advised me to buy racing flats. Shoes that first came to my mind were adizero rocket, RC, PRO, and mizuno ronin and musha. These racing flats look really hot and light, but they also look like I could only wear them fo

2nd Year Running Anniversary, new 5K PR

Today is my 2nd year anniversary of consistent running (except for the ITBS, which should lessen it to 1.5years) and have celebrated it with a new 5K PR in the Phil Star Celebrity Run. I was aiming to beat Luis aka Gingerbreadrunning’s time of 22’50”. Why? Because he used to be a really slower

Weight Loss & Running - part2

Weight Loss & Running – part2

This is now the Part2 of my Weight Loss Series, where I would share my personal experience and elaborate more tips. In part1, I've mentioned I've lost 39pounds in 2years. If you average that, you would end-up with 0.4pounds/week. That's quite slow, but most weight loss programs would recommend slow

Weight Loss & Running – part1

Last Friday Beth and I attended takbo.ph's first Christmas Party. I can't believe that just last year there were only a few of us in our first LSD EyeBall and now I can't recognize half of the members anymore. It's really great our little group is now a big organization, and it keeps on growing! I b

It's Fit & Right, right?

It’s Fit & Right, right?

INTRO: For some reason, a small number of my colleagues from our company wanted to join the "Fit & Right" race last Sunday. My running friend and colleague Manding invited some of his office-mates to join the fun run, and we ended up registering 45 runners! Sounds a good number at first glance, but
