Just last month, I joined the Siargao International Marathon 2018 which was held on July 14 at Del Carmen in Siargao. Initially, my plan for that weekend was to just relax and unwind in Siargao but when I found out that the race date coincided with my trip, I knew I had to join. And to make the most of the experience, I registered …

Earlier today, I joined the Kerry Sports Manila Vertical Run 2018 with EastWest Bank which was held at Shangri La at the Fort.

In this race, we had to conquer 59 floors with 1353 steps to a heigh…

Super duper late post because I have been so busy that I completely forgot to blog about this race, which is the 3rd PCCI Cares Run for a Cause, held last month. So this was my fourth race for the year, given that I haven't been training at all. My original plan was to cover the race as one of the official photographers. I had …

Hi there, everyone! Here's a quick blog post about my most recent running event, the Color Manila Blacklight Run, which was held on February 24. For this race, I joined the 5km category.

Last weekend, I joined my first running event for 2018 at the Color Manila Paradise Run. It was more of a fun run rather than a race. I participated in the 10k category.  The race started around 5:45am. Because I had no training whatsoever prior the event, I went on a chill easy pace throughout the entire run. It was a good thi…

In my four years of running, I have never joined a color run. Which is why I was thrilled when Color Manila announced that they will be having a La Union edition. What got me excited about it is the fact that it will be held in my beloved borrowed surf town.  Color Manila La Union was held on September 30. Yes, it was on my bir…

Super late post but here's my race report for the Pinoy Fitness Kasama Run which happened two weekends ago.  The Pinoy Fitness Kasama Run was my comeback long distance run.

Two weekends ago, I joined my 5th Milo Marathon event (although not all of them were in the 42k category). First Milo event I joined was a 5km-race back in 2012. Then I ran 10km in 2014 and 42km in both 2015 and 2016. This year, I decided to go back to 10km because I didn't have any proper training. Not even for a half marathon…

When the Vertical World Circuit launched the first edition of the Kerry Sports Manila Vertical Run last year, I really wanted to join. However, I didn't have the resources for it. Which is why I was ecstatic to hear about it when they launched this year's edition. Of course, I joined. I signed up for the full challenge cove…

Last Sunday, I joined a race after being on a race hiatus for almost two months. I joined the 2nd PCCI Cares Run for a Cause which was held at McKinley West in Taguig under the 5km category. I figured that for my comeback race, I have to take it easy since I barely had any training. The race started at McKinley West, then headi…
