Sorry again for not posting new materials on this blog lately not because I haven't been running, on the contrary, I've been logging the longest runs of my running life. I haven't been joining races lately because I hate joining them if I know I only have minimal improvement from my previous PR, so

(thanks to Vener, Argo, Irene, and Gail for the nice pictures) "Failure is an Event, Never a Person". These are the most encouraging words I've received today from my Milo Marathon idol, Vener Roldan, after my heartbreaking failure to qualify in the Milo Eliminations yesterday that had a cutoff o

About 3months ago, when I was about to finish a 20mile long run, I had to stop at 18miles feeling exhausted. Really exhausted. When I removed my sunglasses, I realized it was really hot at 9AM, and I could no longer run any faster than my planned 9mins/mile pace. It really sucks not to finish a long

A lot of Milo Qualifier wannabe's like me, especially the young runners below 35 were probably a little disappointed when Milo tightened the qualifying times to 3:45, which is 15minutes faster from last year's 4hours. Personally, I accept this as a nice challenge to target next week. I admit, althou

(Thanks to Bhong Bernal and Marnelli Pecayo for the great photos and Reymund Pantisma for the video) Last week my company, ON Semiconductor, held its first Fun Run. As a relatively veteran runner (of 2.5years) in the company, I was quite happy that the mini running boom has reached us down south

The past 3weeks when I tried to run my 20milers, I fell short by a couple of miles. OK, it was more like 4miles. Right after 10miles, running felt harder and no longer enjoyable. It felt different from hitting the wall like I did last year. I couldn't really explain it, I thought I was over-traini

I apologize for not posting a new entry lately. Frankly, I've been seriously considering pulling the plug of this blog. I had some weird hate comments that were discouraging, and I thought the time it took to blog a long post weren't really worth it. Blogging about minor races and uploading pictures

Last Friday Morning, March 19, 2010, while doing their daily runs in the new C6 road in Taguig, my Father and Beth saw an old dead runner lying on the right side of the road, occupying the whole right lane. The man's body was full of blood that it actually flowed to the opposite side of the road,
