where it all started.

coming home from a chill 2K run early tonight, Endure teammate and fellow takbo.ph pioneer Carina bbm-ed a message about Rico's blog for Condura 2011.

I went to my pc and opened his blog and read his article. It was plain and simple, straight to the point.

It briefly narrated how a brainchild of Jinoe Gavan was able to gather a group of enthusiastic runners, both newbies and  veterans alike, to celebrate the joys of running.

from that simple idea, the thought of gathering people together to get to know each other, to be able to put names with their takbo.ph handles, was what started the "evolution" of running groups in the Metro. It revived the camaraderie of runners from all walks of life.

Reading Rico's blog reminded me what made me want to join other races.

It was because of the people I was with that time when I had my

first LSD,

 
my first CLP,


and my First Condura.







ayot? apir!
sa uulitin!


See you at the Skyway! :)

    Congratulations, Timmy Kenkoy. Happy to see your "Kenkoy face" as you were approaching the finish line at the same time being cheered by your fellow Takbo.ph pals.

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

running is good for the heart

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
