I woke up early
Sunday morning at 3:30 am feeling good and excited about the Red Crab Run that would
start 5:30am at McKinley Hills. This would be the run where I would first use my Kinvara
3. I was looking forward to its lightweight minimalist yet pillow soft
feel.

- 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.
KINVARA 3: Float like a butterfly, finish like a bee!
Christmas is
early in our home. Even before the All
Souls Day holiday break, we already had a Christmas tree up in our living
room. And one early morning, I woke up
to see a pair of Kinvara 3 hanging with the silver balls on the
tree. Who is it from? Could it
be from good old S.C. – Saucony Claus? Ho ho ho ho......
FIRST BALFOUR CHRISTMAS DECOR: Going Green with Red
The Philippines is
known to have the longest celebration of Christmas in the world. This is clearly manifested by the setting up
of Christmas decor by the start of the 4th quarter of the year
on houses, parks, avenues, hotels, malls
and buildings. Here in our Sucat office,
we had ours in place on the first week of November.

TETRA PAK RFR RUN: 2ND Leg of My Back-to-Back Half Marathons
Late Saturday
morning, I was attending a servant leader seminar organized by our parish
church in Paranaque City when the husband of my fellow lector approached me and
inquired if I would be interested to run a 21-km fun run the following day
(Sunday, November 18). He
said he had a race kit but because of
some conflict in schedule, he would not be able to use it.
TBR DREAM TEAM RUN 2012: A Festival of Colors and Dreams
The inaugural

treat season.

A GIFT ON THE 1ST ANNIVERSARY OF THE BICOLANO PENGUIN BLOG
November 5
marks one year of the existence of my Bicolano Penguin blog. I was happy on this day, especially given the success of our Tiwi-Sangay Road Run
three days ago. My joy was doubled later
that day when I received an anniversary gift from the "godmother" of my blog.
1st BICOLANO PENGUIN ANNIVERSARY RUN : Kings of Tiwi-Sangay Road
What better way
to celebrate the 1st year of my Bicolano Penguin blog than to have a
long run with close buddies in a special place.
Such a venue exists in my home region
of Bicol. This is the long and winding
Tiwi-Sangay Road.
RUN UNITED PHILIPPINE MARATHON: BIG MEDAL & BAYANIHAN
I guess the
starting point of many a discussion about the first-ever Run United Philippine
Marathon is the size of its finisher medal.
It is huge. Nope. A better term is humongous, dwarfing any
medal the Pinoy running community has seen in our shores. I even dare to write
that it is perhaps the biggest finisher medal in Southeast Asia, after
comparing it with the one I got at the 2012 Standard Chartered Marathon
Singapore. Indeed, the organizers of the
RUPM succeeded in making it memorable.
