I know it has been 2 years since i've last written on this blog, primarily because there have been a lot of things that happened, and as compared to before, there are a lot of things better kept in private, as a lot of people, even some of the people I personally know, tend to use their blogs as either, a company's extended PR reading material (tamad na ata Kenkoy Runnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15213399490073693157noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480550210875243557.post-53079149312765909052016-06-28T22:23:00.002+08:002016-06-28T22:23:52.787+08:00Maximizing PotentialsRunning has always been my favorite me-time activity. It does not only help me clear my mind, it also helps release toxins from my body. Even though running has been my 'sport' and therapy since 2009, I still have not maximized my potential with this sport.
Tonight, I tried to rekindle my love affair with running by jogging (yes, jogging, the slower version of running?) around UP acad oval.

i'm a huge fan of simplicity, with a tinge of surprise. normally i would be attracted to dominantly blue bikes, but this one, gives the necessary oomph that i usually look for.

Training for Condura has given me options on when to do my runs. Given that this is a midnight run, it gives me the option to train super early morning, OR after work. Given that i am admittedly not a weekday morning runner, I feel that its more appropriate, in my case, to train at night because obviously the weather conditions at night are more or less Kenkoy Runnerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15213399490073693157noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480550210875243557.post-72610493619950968572012-11-03T12:57:00.002+08:002012-11-05T11:54:18.144+08:00POSE-rcurrently shifting to use the POSE method in my comeback full mary come Condura 2013. I was intrigued by it when our team underwent sessions with Coach Pat Joson of the Jumpstart Movement. Coach Pat also recently had students from the Mizuno Run Academy do the same thing. POSE.
So what is POSE all about? to cut the long story short, it's simply changing from one "pose" to the other. simple noh?
