ABOUT THE KENKOY RUNNER

i am not a clown.

i am not what you would typically consider a "funny man" to all types of people. 

why KENKOY?

in my earlier days of running, little did i know of the proper running form, etc, a runner-friend mentioned that i looked funny while running. my head was wobbling side to side like one of those bobble head animals you'd see in taxi cabs etc.

they found it as something "kenkoy," thus, the Kenkoy Runner was born.


i started seriously running start of 2009 to initially lose weight, but fell in love with running.

i enjoy running, not because of the competition, but more on the natural high i get out of running.

i am not a speedster, but can be if needed. (or if challenged).
i have tried long distance running and found it to be relaxing, most specially if it  takes one outside of the metro.

initially was focused on running, but was exposed to multi-sport through runner-friends.

learned how to ride a bike only in june 2010 initially as a cross-training while recuperating from an ITBS. got addicted to biking soon after.

still polishing my swim to be a more efficient swimmer.


i am a marathoner, and a newbie triathlete. 


feel free to read on my thoughts about running,biking, swimming, or about life in general. 


a serious person despite the kenkoy outlook in life.

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

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
