reminscing

i've been running on and off for more than 2 years already.  yesterday pala was my 2nd runniversary. kaya pala ako kating kati tumakbo. there was something inside wanting to run again, for the sheer joy of running ;) medyo alanganin pero totoo hehehe gusto ko lang tumakbo kahapon (other than the fact na i wanted to try out the new mizuno wave prophecy). pero since my training sched yesterday was to bike, i went biking/spinning pa rin.

i just used my wave prophecy to work today.

initial reviews from other bloggers are consistent with what i felt.

it was bouncy. not a nice way to describe it primarily because it reminds me of my old




adidas megabounce+ meet mr. prophecy.

upon initial feel of the shoes, it had the same feel with the megabounce+. mataas ung heel elevation nya. somewhat it had a pseudo-forefoot running feel primarily because of the elevation nga sa heel. the ride naman is smooth also. the 4 "holes" of the full length infinity wave plate has the same effect nung bounce circles, it kinda pushes back the feet upon impact :) although i havent tried it for a run yet, same ung feel nya. mas flexible though ang forefoot ng bounce+, you know that this shoe is intended for a) porma or b) superb cushioning ang habol :)

one major mlamang of the the prophecy is that mas solid ung bottom nya. unlike sa megabounce+ na hiwa hiwalay ung ilalim per "roll" of the bounce thingy.

well, i guess i have to take this shoe for a short run to test how it really is, compared to the a) megabounce+

and b) wave inspire (my favorite weapon of choice).

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

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).
