Mukhang magandang event to...

Masakit lang sa bulsa... hehe

Re: Asics, minsan pakiramdam ko dumudulas-dulas yung forefoot ko sa loob ng sapatos, pero hindi yung pakiramdam na yung sole and dumudulas sa asphalt. Lalo na kung maluwag yung lacing sa forefoot tapos pawis na yung paa.

 

 

Hirap nga maghanap ng pictures sa huling takbo. Buti na lang marami ng photographers ngayon kaya masmaraming chance na magka-picture. Yun nga lang nakakahilo maghalungkat.

 

 

@one_hot_momma, welcome po sa running thread! Kailan po yung Beijing Run? Ito ba yung Beijing Marathon sa October?

 

Sa Condura, lahat ng events timed to finish between 6-8am, so madali na lang yung oras. Yung meeting place na lang ang pagusapan.

 

 

BTW, may interesado ba sa Condura 21K racekit? Pagpipilitan ko na tapusin yung 42K - kahit gumapang pa! hehehe

@Floppy: alright!!! hanga na ko syo... di ko pa talaga kaya ang 42km (kahit nga 32km)... hehehe

@ppdd: ayun o, 21km race kit sa Condura... masarap tumakbo sa Skyway... hehehe... recovery session sa homebase mo na lang daw ang bayad kay sir Floppy? hahaha

Mukhang maganda yung route ng RU1. Halos patag. Lubak na lang sa Buendia ang katapat.

 

Saan yung SVD?

 

Napadaan ako ng Skyway Saturday. Para sa 21K, yung tawid lang ng Sucat ang challenging hill, lalo na yung papuntang Makati. Pero pabalik ng Alabang hindi na ganoon kahirap yung incline, tapos may gradual descent papuntang Alabang.

 

Yung 42K route ang may dagdag challenge - 4 na tawid ng Edsa!

Yup, parusa talaga ang Sucat climb ng Condura... yan din ang nagpahirap sa akin last year...

SVD... seminaryo kasi to, hindi sa loob ng seminaryo ako tumakbo at baka ikulong nila ako dun, sa road lang ako...

bago mag olivares/silang rotonda ito kung galing ka sa aguinaldo highway... hindi masyadong dinadaanan ang road na ito kaya magandang tumakbo dun... minsan ay sa tagaytay oval track ako (near Tagaytay City Hall), pag nagyaya yung kaibigan ko from tagaytay, mas ok tumakbo dun dahil minsan may fog pa lalo na pag madaling araw pa...

@ppdd -- Wala pa din akong makitang pic ko... pero yung mga pacers ko, nakita ko agad... hahaha

sa RU1 ako sasali... parang last year din, sumabay sa isang big event ang Yakult 10miler....

-------------

Tumakbo ako kahapon sa Tagaytay... naku sobrang lamig at hangin... nakakapagpabagal ang malakas na ihip ng hangin pero cool!!!

Run at the SVD area... few steep roads... pero nagsuffer ang tuhod ko at pinulikat din ako... ouch, paano na ang Skyway!

PSE Bull Run is a very good event...

Thankful ako sa napakadaming yelo sa mga stations para macooldown ang katawan ko...

nakatulong din sa pulikat ko yung yelo...

Naging usapan din naming mga katrabaho ko yung mangyayaring Condura run (in relation dun sa namatay) at sinabi na lang namin na kilalanin ang katawan kung kaya pang tumakbo at wag pilitin kung may nararamdaman nang kakaiba...

kahit regular runners tayo ay hindi natin masasabi...

Had my recovery run earlier at MOA (4am-5am). ang lamig... hahaha

When I went to the office, I saw a very pretty foreigner girl running along EDSA-Estrella....

try ko sabayan next time...

yup... looks like another wet race tomorrow....

I'll be slow tomorrow... so I expect a 3hour run for me...

PM me your numbers so that we can meet pre- or post-race...

wala akong alam sa the Fort area... maybe sa starbucks, krispy kreeme, or brother's burger magkita kita...

see you at the race bukas... gunstart is 5:15 for 21k... and we will also be sharing the race route of another Run even... Run for 10...

Good luck to us!!!

I remember last year na kulang din ang distance na declared sa mapa nila...

pero during the race day, binago nila ang route (extended the Buendia area).

Hopefully they will do it again this Sunday...

San tayo magkikita @ppdd? sa primero o belagio o NPS? hahaha...

the map is missing a kilometer!!!!

wheeee.... maaga ang kalayaan flyover.... :D

I still can't find my bib though... may shirt ako pero baka tawagin akong bandit pag walang bib...

Happy New Year!!

Hope to achieve more milage this 2013.

Found a good running spot herein catanduanes.... The main road!

Speaking of Turk... where is he? hehehe naiwana na tayo...

Slots for 21km for condura skyway marathon was open earlier today (12-28-2012). I wonder if it is still open...

@wynette: prepare for hills in the first 5 KMs, since Sucat area is the Sky-est part of Skyway (i Think)...

also i was quite disappointed but it seems I lost my Bull run race bib... wahhhh... I must have misplaced it... arg!!! finders keepers...

ang pagkakaalala ko sa huling 100 meters ng condura, ito ay paakyat kaya parusa ito... hehehe

my record last year is 3:00:00 for 21km... hope to improve it next year...

ready na din ako sa Bull run... maririnig nanaman ang big bell ng PSE... hehehe

@wynette, ang pace namin ni @ppdd sa 21km ay 7-8 min/km, reasonable pace na yan... pwede na ba kaming pacer mo? hehehe

@ppdd -- hindi ako uminom, nagcarbo loading lang... hahaha.. sa new year, di maiiwasan yan...

I'll be at Catanduanes this weekend para sa New Year... sana magkahanap ako ng pwedeng takbuhan dun...

@spirit220 -- ayun sabi ko na nga ba kaw yun nakita ko (may inii-stalk na sexy female runner haha joke)

congrats bro

@ppdd -- E kasi ang sarap nya sundan (kung sino man siya)... hahaha...

Training mode na din ako sa Condura at Bull Run...

FR on Sin Tax Run (6k category)

 

mas konti yung tumakbo compared sa sinasabi 5k total runners (yung mga niregister ko nde din nagsipuntahan.. tsk tsk)

hydration was good (2 stations lang, every 2km)

literal na fun run.. dami magbabarkada and running groups

anlaki ng cash prize para sa top finishers (asa naman ako na manalo haha)

 

unofficial time: 40mins+

 

@spirit220 -- tumakbo ka ba kanina? naka-orange shirt ka ba?

 

 

next run: Rescue Run 2012 (for Typhoon Pablo victims)

yes bossing ppdd... tumakbo ako nung Sunday sa sin tax run...

yep wearing an orange shirt,

hinahanap din kita, pero madali ako madistract sa mga head turners e...

I think my time was 43 mins sabi ni nike+...

This is my last fun run event for the year 2012...

pero di naman ako titigil sa pagtakbo dahil kailangan n magtraining para sa 21KMs next year...

Happy running!!!

Good luck sa mga Milo Finals Runners....

Bukas ako tatakbo sa MOA... no particular event, practice lang, may ibebreak-in lang na sapatos...

@ppdd... naku 1:13 ang time ko... ang sinisisi ko ay sina bianka king at rhian ramos... hahaha... (isama na nga din natin si Solenn...)

I was at the second or third wave about 10 mins after the gun start... yung mga kasama kong first time runners, naku sumakit ang leeg sa kakalingon sa hot babes...

All praises to nike we run manila... This year is better than last year's night run...

it's safe to say that Turk and his wife is the fastest runners in MTC...

hehehe...

Congrats sir Turk

haha "super runner" sa first KM lang... my average time for 10km is 1hr, 10 mins... malamang ganyan ulit yan sa sunday...

(depende din sa mangyayari sa saturday drinking session at spa conditioning)

I almost registered last July for the 7-11 800 run... It was postponed from august to october, then postponed again from october to january 20, 2013... I already had doubts on the first postponement... lagi ako dumadaan sa coastal road at alam ko na hindi pa matatapos yung improvement nila by this year... maglalast minute join na lang ako dito kung sakali...

ang sigurado ako na sasalihan ko ay yung PSE Bull Run at Condura...

@ppdd

nung nag threadmill ako kahapon, naka office attire ako (long sleeves polo at khaki pants, yung rubber shoes ay yung nike shoes nila dun)...

pawis na pawis ako after... hahaha

as far as I know, hindi na pwede palitan ang singlet size... parang nakainventory yata sa kanila yun...

ang kinakatakot ko lang ay ang magkaubusan ng size ng finisher shirt (or worst, magkaubusan ng finisher shirt mismo)...

spa conditioning ako sa sabado... hahaha

Got my Nike We Run Manila 2012 Race pack...

Nice shirt, Nice Bottle,

and I also customized my shirt....

they have this threadmill where if you ran .5KM in 3mins or less, they'll give you a "Super Runner" patch that you can place at the shirt...

guess i'm a super runner (at .5 km) hahaha

see you on Sunday guys...

registered to sin tax run...

ang mura... next to free hyundai run...

congrats turk and wife...

Nov 30? Michelle Estuar's run ba yan?

ppdd, i-blur mo na lang legs mo para di namin makita... hahaha

ppdd, nice FR on RFR

post pics while running RFR... para maramdaman namin na kasama mo kami sa pagtakbo along with Memphis...

hehe...

Still thinking what category to choose between 21km and 42km for Condura...

probably gonna buy a pair of Asics shoes (worth at least 5,500) and save the registration fee for Condura Run..

yup... Sin Tax Run is probably Rio's gift to us runners...

I'll register immediately on that run on Monday...

Nike Run - dec 2

Sin Tax Run - dec 16 - whoo hooo

ang sarap naman habulin ni Monica...

with 1850Php for Marathon... kaya natin yan ppdd...

hehe... route maps and gun times were same as last year...

sa december pa ako makakaregister dito
