Pavement Runner, the initiator of the
#BostonStrong run(s) that happened worldwide in the aftermath of the April 15
bombings and one of my favourite running bloggers outside the Philippines, released last week the 1st issue of MUSH
Magazine.
What is
MUSH? It is a digital magazine "… about running, fitness, yoga, cross
training, healthy eating, and many other things." One can subscribe the blog to access
(http://pavementrunner.com/mush-launched/).
The magazine got its name courtesy of the wife of the blogger. She
suggested to Brian that name because her hubby was mushing a lot of things
together.
Of course,
the 1st issue was all about the #BostonStrong runs. Forty-four pages
of photos and stories of the more
than 100 #BostonStrong runs in various states of the United States of America
and several countries in North America, Europe and Asia. Of special interest to
my son, fellow blogger WJ, running
buddies in Bicol and Alabang is page 22 where group pictures of Boston Strong
Muntinlupa and Boston Strong Naga appear side by side.
I dare to
imagine that they share the joy of being part of the global running community
in standing up (not still but running) in showing solidarity with the greatest
marathon of our times, the Boston Marathon.
Maraming
salamat to Pavement Runner for including us in the 1st issue of MUSH. Thank you very much to Pavement Runner for
an empowering experience.

thank you very much for sharing this article, vicboy.
when we decided to have the boston strong in muntinlupa, we didn't have any idea that we would be receiving such "recognition" via mush and runner's world. we did the run because we wanted to put across our deep sentiments to the victims of the bombing. as runners, we are expected to turn to running as our simple way of expressing our oneness with them.
my sincerest thanks, too, pavement runner.
cheers to the boston strong muntinlupa and naga city runners!
Thank you WJ for your kind words. Yes indeed. The running of the Boston Strong Muntinlupa was reward in itself. Making us feel that we can contribute something, no matter how small, to something big. Having our photos in magazines abroad are delightful bonuses.
