akalain mo yun....

a fellow runner from takbo.ph celebrates his 1 year runn-iversary today, Aug.17,2009. when i opened his blog, i saw that his first run was with Men's Health Miracle Run last year.





tapos napaisip ako.



teka, hindi ba ang unang beses kong tumakbo eh nung unang Miracle Run din?

kung tutuusin, nung umpisa pa lang akong tumakbo eh, feeling talaga ako, hindi ako nag practice, feeling ko ang lakas ko kasi nag babadminton ako, pero sa totoo lang eh mahirap pala yun! hindi naman ako gumamit ng hindi running shoes talaga. in fairness eh ginamit ko ay tunay na running shoes, tipong lumang luma na sha, na out of retirement na eh binuhay lang ulit. eto sha oh :)

naka lagay sa time ko sa 10k was, 1:19 daw, wahahaha pero sa totoo 5K lang un (talk about super bagal and super taba diba?)

hahaha hassle diba?

after nung miracle run eh di na muna ako tumakbo. so kumbaga sa relationship, eh cool off muna kami. and this cool off would last sobrang tagal, tipong the next race i was aiming was, the next miracle run (which was slated ng march 28, 2009 diba ang tagal!) feeling ko kasi sobrang ang hirap ng 10k, so dapat ganon katagal ang pagttrain ko dapat.

so far ok naman ang experience ko with running :)

after that i told myself, 2009 im going to change, im going to be more active, and incorporating running in my regular routine. medyo nag serious lang ako ng december when i gifted myself a new pair of serious running shoes.

after that, i tried looking for RUBUs (running buddies), which then led me to takbo.ph.

joining that forum led me to seriously train for races which started with the March 8 LSD.

more and more friends were gained during the Condura CLP and Condura Run mismo, and also the Miracle Run. sobrang addictive to the point that we had an SSD the day before the Miracle Run mismo.

isang patunay ng sobrang ka adikan eh itong feature sa akin sa taho.ph.

marami pang mga sumunod na karera, takbo, inom at kung anu-ano pang masasayang bagay at realizations while running, during, before and after races, pero bottomline, this addiction will not stop. may pauses at times, pero wala na atang titigil dito :)

dati ganito lang ka konti ang mga kasama kong tumakbo


take note, mga officemates lang yan (well, more on ex- officemates na, kasi wala na sila sa Summit, ako andito pa rin).

ngayon ganito na ka dami.


(pero konti pa yan sa totoong group pics. for more pics from the different races, click here. and here.and here.(these are JUST some of the pics taken during numerous running events and other running related events.)

why do i hate mizuno

Mizuno sucks. BIG TIME. yup. you read that right. why? point #1: they are not a mainstream brand. mainstream in a sense that they don't even ha ve well-known product endorsers unlike other sports brands around the world. i mean, how can they expect their products to sell like pancakes if the y're like that diba? point #2: they do not promote much of themselves. not much print ads if you'd ask me. i work in a magazine publishing company and i don't see mu ch of their products splashed all over our magazines. i don't see them havi ng television ads too. not even in the newspapers does mizuno have anything that will lead people to buy their products. point #3: the products are not that "fashionable." as compared to other "mainstream" brands, you won't see you r regular juans and marias weari ng mizunos together with their jeans to the office. you don't see them usually wearing mizuno s when they go around the malls, walking, shopping, chilli...

can you ENDURE the HEAT?

maraming nag rereklamo sa init ng panahon. makalipas ang ilang buwang pagkalamig-lamig buong araw, ngayon naman ang tindi na ng init, lalo na sa tanghaling tapat. at dahil dyan, kailangang magpalamig! yung ibang mananakbo, tulad ng ilang Ultramarathoners, sinubukan na ang kasiyahan ng pagsali sa triathlon. PERO sabi nila, lamang pa rin ang ULTRAS kumpara sa TRI.  yung iba naman, gustuhin mang mag TRI eh nag iipon pa rin para sa bike. eh paano naman ung gusto lang mag multisport? san sila sasali?  bakit naman sila sasali dito?  this event was conceived primarily to serve as simulation for those joining the Ateneo Aquathlon slated on March 20, 2011. in line with the team's partnership with Microwarehouse, the official distributor of Blackberries in the Philippines, the team decided to make it open to the public as a way of sharing to the public the joys of multisport. Here is the write up from the organizers (which i am also a team member :) )  ENDURE is a buddin...

SURVIVOR International Marathon: Smart SIM 2009 (part 1)

i'm sure a lot of runner-bloggers already expressed their opinions towards the recently concluded Smart SIM 42K SURVIVAL Run held this weekend. this is just to summarize things from MY point of view, and MY OPINIONS. This was supposedly the "most prestigious" marathon in the Philippines (well so they say). if being prestigious means: 1. No water stations for most of the stretch of the SCTEX 2. No support stations allowed along the long stretch of the SCTEX 3. No light along the way 4. runners' safety along the long dark stretch of the SCTEX was unsure (even though the road was closed from motorists, the sheer darkness of the place can put an injured, dehydrated runner lost in the darkness) kahit na they say bring your own lights, ibang level pa rin ito. then i guess this is it. i think it could be likened to training for the BDM, pero sa BDM alam ko may ilaw, at may posibilidad to buy drinks/ hydration along the way. i've had a lot of friends from takbo.ph who had...
