July 17, 2009 3:34 pm R wakes up from afternoon nap and wonders what to do today. Remembers the Runnr opening…a few minutes after, gets a text message from B B: What time are you going to BHS? R: Anytime… what time you going? You wanna hitch? Can pass by for you… B: Sabay kami [...]

EXHIBIT A: See all these people outside the store!?!?! Huge turnout for the Runnr Grand Opening in Boni High Street. EXHIBIT B: Again, more people, this time inside the store. Enjoyed the night ogling new running stuff…winner!!! I couldn’t resist! Bought new gear I can’t wait to try out (thank you Runnr for the huge [...]
11 days and counting…. will be back in Cebu for work for the start of another school year which means I am on my own again to train…uh oh. That means I need a run plan set before going back so at least all I need to do is follow and set my goals on [...]
Food, believe it or not, is a good motivator. Krispy Kreme doughnuts anyone? I heard about the REACH FUN RUN through B who hinted, more like *look into my eyes* and said, “Imagine you get free doughnuts! And it’s a fun way to get back into training mode, PLUS, mechanics are simple, run 2.5km, eat [...]
DAY 1 after was painful….my feet were still complaining and had to either choose to just lie down or, when needed, walk ever so slowly. Knees were okay, and had no untoward pain. Good thing my right knee scare eons ago due to bad running form never ever did come back (something I’ve been watchin’ [...]

I’m alive! I did it! Am soo happy you can’t imagine how happy!!! Wheeeee! 42kms is no joke… you really have to respect the distance. Things I learned: 1. Mileage buildup is very very important if you want to last the 42 kilometers. Call me a slacker but I only really started training for the [...]
DREAMING WITHOUT AUDIO

Saturday, 11am, July 4, 2009 So it’s 17 hours till Milo…forgive me if it’s all I ever talk about because honestly, it’s all I ever think about! (For now at least =). It’s come to the point that I dream about it. Last night, I dreamt I was actually running the marathon already! I vividly [...]
THE WEATHER REPORT
Posted: July 3, 2009 in runningTags: accuweather, milo marathon, pag-asa, weather
I trust Accuweather.com more than PAG-ASA, hands down, on any given day. On more than one occassion, it has been influential in my choice of running gear or even in pushing through with a training run because it REALLY is more or less ACCURATE! No false advertising here, not like PAG-ASA that gives me undue [...]
2ND TO THE LAST RUN BEFORE MILO DAY
Posted: July 3, 2009 in runningTags: 5k, milo marathon, running
So we decided on just doing 5ks this week just so our legs are still fresh yet not too cold. Got to the meeting place early and decided to go and have a look-see as there were different shops that were on sale. Big mistake! Shopping is hard to resist especially with things ON SALE! [...]
