The "second wind" is an overused word in the world of sports with its mysticism due to its rarity. I thought if I could repeat another

More Pictures. Although I was too busy taking pictures of other people, I'm still fortunate to have some takbo.ph people also take pictures of me. Thanks to Timmy, Chelly, Ruby, Neil, and Vener for the pics. i2runner also wants to be an i2photographer, but only has a camphone. No SLR, low tech styl

Right after our 21Km LSD with the takbo.ph runners, Doc Lyndon "malmonmd" raised a question, how do you taper 2 weeks before the 21K? Nobody gave a clear answer, and even I was silent. I always thought I was ready, and I already did an unofficial 1:57 during my long runs. How do I taper? To be hones

Yesterday was a scheduled 12miler for me, but I wanted my loving Beth to join the takbo.ph February run so she could meet a lot of runners and inspire her to run regularly, and maybe competitively.
