FRONTRUNNER MAGAZINE Vol III Issue 3 2012: My Letter to the Editor

A running kindred, Gia Estrella of Ayala Triads and Team Kamote, texted me early this week that my letter was posted at the latest issue of the Frontrunner magazine.  I was excited to get a copy which I finally did last Wednesday.

RUNNING THRU THE RIVER UNIT BARRIOS IN IRIGA AND FINDING A MYSTERY BRIDGE IN AGUS RIVER

Early Friday  morning of July 20 in Bicol, I had a big itch to run.  The night before,  a physical therapist applied some  deep tissue massage  on me which made me feel good and optimistic of having a pain-free run.  For  the past two weeks, I have been feeling some pain on my right calf area during and after a run. This time, my muscles felt good, energized even.

RUNNING TO LAKE BATO VIA MASOLI ROAD

I had to cancel my Tiwi-Sangay Road running adventure last July 14. It was a disappointment for me, but a mark of an ultra runner is resilience.  If I couldn’t do a seven-hour adventure run, I guess I could do a shorter one; something in the vicinity of four hours.

BEST TASTING HALO-HALO: DJC in Tiwi

A bonus of my recon drive thru the Tiwi-Sangay Road is  I finally got to taste the famous halo-halo in Tiwi. For more than a decade now, I have been hearing and reading about this cool delightful pride of Albay.
