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)

hanep, ppdd, ang tatag mo

still a good run padre!

ahaha.. thanks thanks..

it wasnt easy. hardest run ko na sya...

actually nung nag U-turn na sa may coastal mall, maybe 12-13km and around 2hrs in the run na ata yun, i was about to give up (1st time ko sana na DNF or did not finish)

suddenly, this elderly runner (naka suot pa sya ng 42km finisher shirt) patted me on my shoulder and said "kaya mo pa yan brad", he smiled, then went ahead and passed me

siguro nakita nya ako na all-in na, since nakasabay ko ata yun nung 5km. baby steps lang sya (small, short but consistent pace)

nainspire ako bigla. kuha ng saging sa next hydration station, then punta sa first aid to have my legs massaged and get ointment (preventive measures para sa pulikat)

took my energy gel around 15km para nde ako kapusin. gusto ko na nga magpagulong pababa nung sa last flyover eh haha

langya di ko na talaga ulitin yung ganun. grabe. sobrang hirap tumakbo. ambigat ng katawan ko.

Rescue Run 2012 for typhoon Pablo victims

http://www.pinoyfitness.com/2012/12/rescue-run-2012-for-pablo-victims-december-23-2012/

mukhang eto magiging last run ko (kala ko sin tax run hehe)

after our company xmas party, pahinga/idlip lang onti then drecho takbo sa Milo 21k. late pa nakadating.. disaster

so ang nangyari... nakainom + pagod + puyat + no stretching + no warm up = WASAK

luckily i was still able to finish 21km below 3hrs... sayang ganda pa naman ng condition ko. for the first time, nde ako pinulikat despite 21km.. bawi nalang sa PSE bull run next year

kitakits on Sin Tax Run on Dec16

official time ko sa Nike 1hr 6mins 58secs.. wootwoot!

si Bianca King lang nakita ko (not sure if si Solenn or Rhian yung kasabay nya) and si Apl.De.Ap dun sa paglagpas ng starting line

congrats din to Droidz1979 and yrrah123456789 halos dikit lang times natin..

kitakits on sunday 21k sa Milo!

goodluck @thedarknight on your 1st 21km attempt

pre-run spa session @ Pr1mero on Friday... wooohoooo!!!

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

hehehe...

 

Congrats sir Turk

i agree congrats to Turk and wifey

nakita ko si super runner Spirit220 nung Nike Run.. ambilis tlaga. papunta palang kami, pabalik na sya!

sinubukan ko habulin.. waley

anyway, after crossing the starting line 13-15minutes behind gun start (yeah ganun ako kalayo ampf) i was able to finish around 1hr 7mins (unofficial)

grabe mula start to finish nde numipis yung crowd.. mas nakakapagod yung pag zigzag at pag singit-singit kesa sa actual run..

congrats to all Nike Run finishers!

may cut-off time ba para sa Nike We Run Manila? for you to get the finisher's shirt? o basta makatapos lang?

sana lang by waves na yung gawin... ang sikip last year. napagod ako kakasingit

@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

yun ang worst case scenario.. magkaubusan ng finisher shirt.. lungkot nun

pero kayang kaya mo naman mauna.. "super runner" ka naman eh hihi

hmm, thinking of joining 7 eleven 800 run 2013 kesa sa condura. pa share naman ng thoughts nyo para maka decide. TIA.

eto yung na-postpone na run ng 7-11 diba?

im planning of joining this event.. january 2013 sa cavitex

sana lang ayus na cavitex by that time..

@floppydrive -- try and search for 1172 and 1175 sa photos nung Run BGC

matangkad sila pareho, long hair din

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...

got my nike race kit as well.. ah yun pla yun kaya madami naka pwesto sa threadmills kahapon.. saw 2 girls trying.. naka maong pants pa sila.. tindi.. kso i think nde nila nakuha ung target

sayang lang register ko sa nike wrong sized pa singlet ko. i asked for L pero XL pa din. anong klaseng yun. walng sinabi kay runrio masabi lang na NIKe ang may pa event.

anyare? tama nmn size nakuha ko dun sakin nung nagclaim ako (XL).. nde na pde papalitan? i saw a customer service booth inside their tent yesterday ah

I almost forgot... claiming of Nike We Run MNL race kits starts today (Nov27 upto Nov30)

dont forget to bring ID and confirmation letter

if you are going to get someone else's kit, pls bring authorization letter as well

Sarap tumakbo!

Tara Takbo Tayo!

:rolleyes: let's go!!!

Run BGC was great!

 

Pros: well organized, lots of hydration stations (there's a station every 2km) that's well stocked with water and Gatorade, spot on distance markers, very visible route markers, less congested route compared to passing over the Kalayaan flyover and going thru Buendia, and the route had lots of shade, very nice stage at the BHS Central area, fantastic raffle prize!

 

Cons: different starting areas for different events all quite a walking distance to the finishline. 15K route coincided with the Red Crab Run in McKinley Hill so more people along the route (and since the Red Crab run was only 5k distance, there were plenty of barikada walkers blocking the route).

 

Weather was nice, with a slight drizzle at gun start. The sun came out bright with very thin cloud cover so temp quickly began to warm up. The revised route is less strenuous to the legs. The Yoga stretching exercise was nice and a welcome change from the usual aerobic warm up exercise. Well done BGC and Runrio!

nice FR.. congrats bro

yan na din FR ko sa Run BGC

halos maligaw ako kakahanap ng starting line.. ampf haha

15km unofficial time: 1hr 52mins (first time na nde ako pinulikat after 12km yehey!!!)

i think i could trim the time down some more, but it seems that the stress and lack of sleep from the day before (from friday graveyard shift, diretso sa kasalan) took its toll on my body. 4km pa lang i was already feeling that i'm starting to run out of air. i got my second wind by the 8-9km mark, lalo na at may nakita ako 2 beautiful, tall targets

overall it was a great run..

next stop: Nike We Run MNL

@Turk -- wow a surprise swimming getaway for the kids.. ang saya-saya! baka may kuha ka pics nung cool girls in bikinis and nip slips (ooopppssss)

Condura is only 10 weeks away. Medyo kulang na sa oras para sa training mula 10km/week. Suggestion lang po na huwag na muna kayo mag-42K sa Condura at baka ma-injure kayo o di kaya abutin ng cramps at mahabang lakad. Unless, of course, slow down lang ang training nyo ngayon at sanay na kayo mag 32km up.

thanks for the concern bro.. i think i could do 25km at my current condition.. pero syempre 42km is still a long way

ang prob ko lang tlaga is squeezing in the practice runs at my schedule.. madami kasi ako VL filed this Dec so pedeng-pde mag practice to increase the mileage, pero prob ko is by January.. babalik sa weekly run nalang yung avail sched ko..

so i guess i'll follow your advice.. madami pa nman 42km events. slowly but surely 'ika nga

but still, i'll continue the plan i have set to add mileage to my runs.. para when the right time comes, pde na sumali..

my target: complete a full marathon in 2013

we've all been there, at least you get out and do a brisk walk. sometimes i get up, get dressed, and snooze on the sofa hehe.

haha. korek. i used to sleep in my running attire dati (minus the socks/shoes syempre). then set ng alarm sa cp (3am)

nung nag alarm, pinatay ko lang then balik tulog

pag gising ko, asar talo ako sa ermats ko and sister... anlayo na daw ng tinakbo ko.. sa panaginip! haha

wow ppdd, how do you manage to finish a 21k with only a long sunday run to prepare? ang lakas mo, nakakainggit.

ah eh.. swerte lang siguro haha.. siguro kasi i feel more physically fit now compared to me 5yrs ago (maybe even 10yrs ago)

I try to run every day ... TRY is the big word coz I end up walking fast lang

ok lang.. walking fast is still better than standing still diba?

wow dami nyo pala takbo. ako weekend warrior lang. the most i do is 10km per week (on my usual sunday run from house to sta lucia, then back)

pag tinamad pa.. wala na.. running and bball are my only activities (except for spa of course haha)

so i have to "force" myself to join events para nde tamarin at may motivation to run and watch my diet

eto nga pala yung running calendar ko for the coming weeks.. anyone joining me on these events?

Nov25 -- Run BGC -- 15k

Dec2 -- Nike Run -- 10k

Dec9 -- Milo Marathon -- 21k

Dec16 -- Sin Tax Run -- 6k (probably my last run for 2012)

still deciding if im going for 21k or 42k sa condura.. parang kinakabahan ako na nae-excite if naiisip ko mag register sa 42k eh

For long runs, how do you manage hydration? Do you bring a bottle or just buy drinks along the route?

 

Problema ko kasi yun. Meron lang akong belt na may 2 10oz bottles. OK sa sponsored fun runs kasi pwede mag-refill sa water stations na every 2km. Pero sa solo long run, hindi ko pa napa-plano kung paano. Nagatatanong lang at baka may standard practices na kayong ginagawa.

in my case, bumibili lang ako along the route. i tried running dati may bitbit 1.5L na gatorade. hassle eh haha

@turk -- cge next time idol. nde ko naman alam na magkakilala pala kayo. nabanggit ko lang na tumatakbo ka din, tapos sabi nya naging guest ka daw nya hihi

congrats on your 4th place finish and to your lovely wife as well for finishing 2nd place

Wow! 10K para sa first-timer! Bilib ako sa kanila!

 

Iba din ang pakiramdam maki-assist at mag-encourage ng bagong runner. Pay it forward, ika nga.

yep 1st timers.. first official runs nila. kakatuwa

yeah. iba din pala talaga yung fulfillment at satisfaction nun may inaalalayan ka. pero nakakapagod haha

sabi ko lang sa kanila is to enjoy the run, finish w/o any injuries ang goal.. next time na career-in kasi may personal best na sila to beat

ppdd, nice FR on RFR

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

 

hehe...

ah eh.. wala eh. bawal. makikita legs ko

eto nalang... pic from RFR Tetra Pak Run

Diana Zubiri . w/ Bearwin Meily..

FR on RFR

i ran (errr.... more like babysitting lolz) with my college friend galing SG (with her bandit runner brother) and Ms.Memphis of SSS (kilala mo sya bro Turk diba? haha). both are first timers

yung classmate ko pinauna ko na. kaya naman nya eh since nagra-run/jog sya. first time ko mag assist with a fellow runner (galing kasi sa sakit si Memphis a few days before the race)

ok naman yung route. 10k category which includes buendia flyover sa route

no freebies/lootbag pero ok lang naman

kakaiba feeling ng Coco Quench. nde naman nasira tyan ko. pero weird. nde ako sanay uminom ng ganun sa run haha

friendly marshalls, small turnout of runners so nde ganun ka-congested ang lanes

yung bananas for 21k runners naabutan pa namin, kahit medyo huli na kami sa 10k category (and most runners have already finished)

may mga markers din along the route so may idea kung ilan pa tatakbuhin

all in all, it was still a great experience for them.. i had to let go of my plan to beat my personal best (bawi nalang sa next runs) pero happy nman ako makita sila

at syempre bawi naman ako sa pics haha

next run... Run BGC (Nov25) 15k category

Signed up for Condura. Pinakamabilis daw maubos yung 42K category. Understandable, since there are only 1,800 slots and that there are only a few full marathons in the Philippines held every year.

what category ka bro?

after RFR, im planning of registering for Run BGC (Nov25) 15k category. after that, Nike Run na.. then wala pa plano after...

5000 slots lang daw yung Sin Tax Run.. must register now para umabot

@spirit220 -- mag 42km ka? hmmmm.. parang gusto ko mag try eh.. kaso if ever dapat magstart na ako training asap.. kundi titirik ako nyan

Condura Skyway Marathon details

http://conduraskywaymarathon.com/2013/race-info/race-categories-fees/

start na pala ng registration today... kasabay ng breaking dawn pt2 ahaha

with 2mos to prepare.. kaya ko kaya mag full marathon?

Wow.. monica torres.. may bago na naman ako i-stalk haha

congrats sa mga NB power run finishers

Looking for a race this December 2....

 

Thinking of Mcdo run or the Heroes run...

 

What do you think???

nike and QCIM both on Dec2 right? nde ka ba nagparegister kahit alin dun?

i guess any of those 2 is ok...
