make that change

it has been a while since i last wrote here in my blog. i was not even able to make kwento about my 2 milestones early this year, one would be my 3rd Condura Full Marathon and my second Ateneo Aquathlon.

for the past 3 years or more, i have always been associated with another brand (which, if you're an avid reader of this blog, most probably eh alam nyo na kung ano un haha).

i started running using another brand, but when a friend introduced me to it, i was initially intrigued, and eventually tried it out and found out that it was perfect for me. it was lightweight, offered ample support, and as time went by, the designs AND colors eventually became updated and attractive na rin.

we've had numerous encounters where i was challenged, but it was able to stick by my side no matter what. there were times when i felt like giving up, or it decided to give up on me, but we eventually were able to patch things up, and get back on track.

there were attempts also try on other brands, two to be exact, but eventually i went back to where i was comfortable with, where i was at peace with.

times have changed throughout the years, the relationship with the brand had its ups and downs, major falling outs, but eventually went back to the brand. or at least tried out to be at peace with the brand (primarily because there are a lot more people involved with the brand which i personally initiated the contact and introduced them to the brand) but i eventually had to move forward.

why the need to change? other than change being the only constant thing in life, change pushed me to get out of my comfort zone. i may have had stagnated in the brand i was with, to the point that i may not have been maximizing what else i could be, what i can make of myself, as a runner, marketer, and as a person.

I made that change to something that i believe can help maximize my potentials and at the same time, something i can push to its own potential, making both benefit. :)

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

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).
