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...

can you ENDURE the HEAT?

maraming nag rereklamo sa init ng panahon. makalipas ang ilang buwang pagkalamig-lamig buong araw, ngayon naman ang tindi na ng init, lalo na sa tanghaling tapat. at dahil dyan, kailangang magpalamig! yung ibang mananakbo, tulad ng ilang Ultramarathoners, sinubukan na ang kasiyahan ng pagsali sa triathlon. PERO sabi nila, lamang pa rin ang ULTRAS kumpara sa TRI.  yung iba naman, gustuhin mang mag TRI eh nag iipon pa rin para sa bike. eh paano naman ung gusto lang mag multisport? san sila sasali?  bakit naman sila sasali dito?  this event was conceived primarily to serve as simulation for those joining the Ateneo Aquathlon slated on March 20, 2011. in line with the team's partnership with Microwarehouse, the official distributor of Blackberries in the Philippines, the team decided to make it open to the public as a way of sharing to the public the joys of multisport. Here is the write up from the organizers (which i am also a team member :) )  ENDURE is a buddin...

SURVIVOR International Marathon: Smart SIM 2009 (part 1)

i'm sure a lot of runner-bloggers already expressed their opinions towards the recently concluded Smart SIM 42K SURVIVAL Run held this weekend. this is just to summarize things from MY point of view, and MY OPINIONS. This was supposedly the "most prestigious" marathon in the Philippines (well so they say). if being prestigious means: 1. No water stations for most of the stretch of the SCTEX 2. No support stations allowed along the long stretch of the SCTEX 3. No light along the way 4. runners' safety along the long dark stretch of the SCTEX was unsure (even though the road was closed from motorists, the sheer darkness of the place can put an injured, dehydrated runner lost in the darkness) kahit na they say bring your own lights, ibang level pa rin ito. then i guess this is it. i think it could be likened to training for the BDM, pero sa BDM alam ko may ilaw, at may posibilidad to buy drinks/ hydration along the way. i've had a lot of friends from takbo.ph who had...
