(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

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.

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

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
