Before anything else, here’s the link to the official Rexona Run results. I signed up late for the Rexona Run but I have actually been at the peak of my running in the past few weeks. I’ve been really trying my best to run at least 6 kilometers three to four times a week and [...][...]

Magic: The Gathering Commons Draft On Sundays
I’ve been playing Magic: The Gathering on and off for the past *gulp* 14 years so I had no choice but to take Poch Ceballos’ offer on joining a fairly informal take on a Magic: The Gathering commons draft. The whole idea of Magic: The Gathering is to win the game by constructing a deck [[...]

My Next Road Race: The Greenfield City Sunset Run (April 24, 2010)
Barring any last-minute changes, the Greenfield City Sunset Run hosted by a subdivision of the same name in Sta. Rosa Laguna. This will be my first road race that I wouldn’t have to wake up before the sun is up. It will take place on the 24th of April. It would be such a refreshing [...][...]

Globe Run For Home Results: The Sub-30 Is Now Official!
Globe has finally released the results of the Run For Home 2010 and while the official time didn’t match the time I saw on the clock as I saw as I crossed the finish line (I remember seeing 29:16), my finish time was registered as 29:42 and my chip time was read as 29:34. It’s [...][...]

Running My First Sub-30 5km @ Globe Run For Home
It’s been mere hours since I crossed the finish line at Globe’s Run For Home and I’m still quite on a high because of what I accomplished. I ran my first sub-30 minutes 5km run. Yes, I know it’s not really a big deal if you’re really into the sport but I’m quite n[...]

The Unilab Run United For Wellness: The Lessons
Unilab Run United For Wellness is my third road race in the last two months. The route for this event is identical to the one I ran just two weeks prior so I was really hoping to improve my personal record from my 5 km run at the Century Tuna Superbods Run. My training schedule [...][...]

Globe Run For Home Year 2: March 21
Thanks in large part to the strong influence of the people who I met in Sagada late last year (mostly due to JP and Dale), I’ve sort of picked up running as a hobby cum addiction at least for the early part of 2010. I’ve ran in two events now and I’m slated to join [...][...]

Why I Will Not Be Century Tuna’s New Image Model
After running the 10km event at the Condura Run, I decided to go down to the next lowest distance for the Century Tuna event. The latter running event had a lot more participants and a much earlier start but fortunately it wasn’t much of an inconvenience. Relative to the field, I think I ran a[...]
