cardiac attack

montalban trail LSD was the first time i joined a trail LSD, and back then, i was still a newbie.
i believe that to be a well-rounded runner, i should also incorporate trail runs in my training, even
it means waking up earlier that usual just to get a chance to run the cardiac hills route. the cardiac hills was already been "visited" by other takbo.ph members last year (2010) and i thought, i should be able to try this one out already.

the long and winding road (part 1)

the cardiac hills presented its challenge last yeara and i thought to myself why not try this one out. despite having lack of sleep (slept at 12, and almost got left behind because i woke up at 320 when our meeting time was 320! wahaha), i still pushed through with it.

the guys were at jollibee paseo de sta.rosa as early as 430am ata, and we were able to get there at around 5am. after arriving (as most of them were already warmed up and stretched), we then had a briefing on the route, etc, had a count off of total number of members running, etc. prayers were said, and off we go!

its hard to describe the route as it was a mixture of road, trail and rocky cemented roads.

here are some images taken during the run :)chill uphill run for julie as this is her second time to run the route
this time, she was determined to finish it running for most of the time

wondering where the name "cardiac" hill came from.
wala namang na cardiac arrest siguro while running this route, right? :)


one of the numerous group shots taken during the run. this one was shot while waiting for the others to arrive. (another excuse to slow down and run chika pace :) )mizuno run club boys represent!
(pero check out the shoes, hindi mizuno? tsk tsk tsk)

paging marketing peeps of mizuno, trail shoes please? :) heheheno one gets left behind.
walkeroo & kenkoyrunner made sure that the other knew where we were headed :)
saan kayo pupunta? DOOON!!!! :)
actually, lagpas pa doon


remember heartbreak hills?
"jill" got the better of "jack" this time

another group shot "ruined" by the argonaut

these were supposedly BIKE SUPPORT

thanks for the trail mix RJ !:)

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
