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

virgin no more

people say that it's painful when you do it for the first time. a lot of my friends have done it way ahead before me.  people have been telling since mid-2009 that i should already try to do it.  i've always thought of doing this when i feel I'm ready for it, to commit to it.  I didn't want to do something I would eventually regret. doing this entails responsibility, and commitment, and would be really time-consuming.   let's begin with the end when i started seriously running at last year's Condura Run, I never imagined thinking of ever running a full marathon in the near future. after that condura run, i started training for 10K races, then slowly leveling up to having LSDs and 15K and 10milers, and eventually had my first half marathon at Botak Paatibayan in May 2009. during that race, i witnessed how a not so "well-organized" full marathon that packed up everything way before the "cut-off" when the race didn't even have a cut-o

want to know what's behind the WAVE?

  there are a lot in store from Mizuno this summer.  1. Other than the upcoming Infinity Run on April 11, there will be a trail run  co-sponsored by Tagaytay Highlands by April 25.  2. an exciting race in an exciting race venue! Sick and tired of having your usual races in the most common race venues? wait for another exciting race from Mizuno that features one of takbo.ph members' playground . Yes, there is a race outside BHS, The Fort/ McKinley, UP and MOA, Roxas Blvd. Another exciting race from Mizuno will be held in ORTIGAS! yup, you've read that right. another race venue which no race organizer has touched (recently hehe). As early as now, start your training in the dreaded St Martin and St.Paul hills, as these are where speed mamaws are made! :)  oh, and these are just the beginning. 3.oh yeah, did i mention that Mizuno Trail Shoes are coming to the Philippines? :)  (well i guess this means they've read my Mizuno blog . hahaha) (thank you jai and the gals of
