Rock and Run? Not!

Races

It’s half – past one a.m. I am up and I am sick. All because I chose to run through the rain at the Rock and Run race last June 19. Now, I wasn’t forced to run. It was my choice to brave the rains. I’d still say it was an adventure. But I’m pretty [...]

Running

I was so excited to wear my pink running shoes. They felt good when I was walking during the fitting, I wondered how they would feel on my feet when I’m actually running on hard pavement.

It all started with a Facebook message: It was love at first sight. I knew it was exactly what I wanted. But I wasn’t too keen on spending more than 5k for a pair of running shoes. So I told him, let’s just wait for a sale. Besides, my rubber shoes were still intact. Sure, [...]

I ran for two consecutive mornings after the Nature Valley Run. I wanted to work out and maybe, I wanted to make up for the race I didn’t run. I even put on hubby’s oversized Nature Valley shirt just for good measure. With my knee pain completely gone, I made sure to stretch, stretch 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 [...]

Slow and easy. That was how I ran my 4.4k today. After two days of rest, my right leg was still aching a bit but I needed to run. I wanted to run. We have another race this Sunday and a bit of training would help. Despite the fear of pain nagging me, I kept [...]

Hello running!

Running

What’s so special about running? My hubby Kernan was so into it that I often wondered how he could find the passion for a seemingly boring activity. He would often encourage me to go with him during his early morning runs around the Academic Oval at UP. I would often decline his offer because I’d [...]
