kenkoy runner's thoughts and then some.....

Last weekend's takbo.ph runfest was a celebration of running, and for us "pioneers" of takbo.ph, specially these types of running/gatherings are one of the most memorable events in our now-more-than-ever toxic days. nakakamiss din to have these people with me, although most are still visible, be it during ultramarathons, triathlons, duathlons, aquathlons, whenever we get together, it's like we were still the newbies we were a few years back.  Takbo.ph has been my first running family, and a lot of teams i know, all came from takbo.ph as well, as the group eventually grew big.  Happy 5th Anniversary Takbo.ph!  More power!
