BGC Parking Lot April 10, 2011 @ 4:00 am An hour before the race, I’m sitting here in the parking lot, chilling out and setting my intention for this run. I had no practice again. You could tell I haven’t touched my running shoes since my last race. How would you know? My old DTAG [...]

I always knew my first 10k would be special. I knew I could do it. I had practiced days before and I knew I could last more than an hour running. As to how fast I was, I didn’t care. So much. Well, I aimed for a modest 1 hour and 30 minutes. Kernan and [...]

One thing I learned from the Nature Valley Run: always believe in yourself and never pass up a challenge. Sadly, I didn’t do that months ago when the registration was still open. So I was back to being a spectator slash uber fan for hubby during the second leg of the RunRio trilogy. But I [...]

It’s amazing how much you can do when you tap into your raw power. Our stint at the San Miguel Bay Run could have been a disaster. Kernan and I were in such a hurry to leave Laguna to get to Mall of Asia that we forgot to bring his backpack. The backpack that had [...]

3 A.M. We were already up to get ready for the Neutrogena Chase the Sun race. It was my very first race, I was excited and just a little bit anxious. It was also a first race of sorts for hubby because it would be his first time to run 15k. This would also be [...]
