UPDATED: takbo alimango takbo!

with all of the running boom lately, it's rare to see a road race labeled "correctly". a lot of fellow runner-bloggers have been berating hosts/radio and tv personalities mentioning races as a marathon, but in actuality, it's just a FUN RUN. what's the difference? basically it's just about the distance of the race. haha big deal no? being a marathoner is really a big deal, but for me, it's not a something that one should make a big fuzz out of.

anyway, i got a facebook invite to a crabby run, haha, crabby primarily because it is the Red Crab Alimango House Fun Run :) yup, fun run. and to make things more clear, it is a 5 kilometer fun run to be held at McKinley. For those veteran runners, we all know that McKinley is one hilly route. it's fun to do hill repeats here ;) sooo this fun run, it's really gonna be a FUN one :) hehehe.

Registration fee : P650 (race bib, singlet, finisher’s medal and our sumptuous breakfast!!!)
Race Route: Piazza Venice McKinley Hill, Taguig on November 25,2012.
Reg Period: October 1 to November 15, 2012 at any of our Red Crab branches.

(i guess this is a sign to start eating hills for breakfast, or dinner?)

will there be Mr. Krabs at the finish line? :) or will the medals be crab shells? (or aprons be awarded for that sumptuous breakfast? am excited!)

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

so, you're a runner. you've heard and might have read the benefits of running, and what running (or exercise in general) does to you and your body. other than the stated obvious reasons why running is good for the heart, here are some more reasons on why running is really good for the heart. let's just have the pictures speak for themselves... (akala ni fifi sha lang ah :) hahaha) running is really good for the heart, as can be seen through these images (but running also is not that friendly to your pockets, hahahahaha) for other run-related love entries check on the following blogs too: - kikayrunner - ronald a.k.a. halimaw so ano, tara, takbo na! ayot? apir! eto talaga ang dahilan sa break up ni...

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
