I am a Bicolano by birth and choice. By any standards, I am a slow runner but I like it that way. I look at running as a healthy and exciting way to make a difference. Together with my fellow runners from our family, school, office, and the community, we use running to give back.
This phrase defines the contrarian, a person who takes up a
position opposed to that of the majority, regardless of how unpopular it may be
at the start.
I visited
the Wandering Jouster site of my
favorite Bicolana blogger, and I got to enjoy her latest blog entry entitled
“Shoe Talk” which was about the 7 leading global brands of running shoes
and their history. Informative stuff
about Adidas, Nike, Puma, KSwiss, Reebok, Asics and Mizuno.
For one year now, I have exclusively been using Asics running shoes, the Cumulus to be specific, for my running. To my mind, Asics provides the best in cushioning. And for long distances beyond 42 kms, a generous amount of cushioning is an ultra runner’s best friend.
