bullrunner, thanks! i thought of not joining the race with my coughing but i didn’t want my preparations gone to nothing. so, i just stayed calm and relaxed and think of finishing the race. i wanted to look funny with that Lance Armstrong pose and I am glad you liked it. yes, i’ve tried pushing the power button of my GF 305 after reading your comment and there is a backlight! Thanks for the link! Good luck with your recovery and see you soon!

mark, thanks! that shows that i am still a “low-tech” guy!

carlo, thanks for being a regular reader and visitor of my blog..keep on running, too!

olvis, congratulations for a nice time finish on your first marathon even with a lesser mileage on your preparations/training. Stay fit and consistent on your training if you want to improve your time on your next marathon in August. Rest assured, i’ll post more tips for the marathon. i really appreciate you for shouting my name at the finish line!

Hello Baldrunner,

I was the one telling you at the finish line that I read your blog regularly, I enjoy reading and getting some tips, actually, a night before the marathon, I called my co runners from Amoranto Runners Club to inform him about the tips “for the first time marathoner” you had posted and just this morning when we saw each other in Amoranto Stadium, he told me that it helps a lot the tips I got from you. I just started running June of last year and is planning to join the Milo Elimination , I’m looking forward of getting more tips from you…

Congratulations for crossing the finish line!

hi Mr Bald Runner…

I ran the PMPR yesterday it was my first race. I was not able to run a short distance race prior to yesterday’s marathon. It was good running experience for a newbie like me. I started running on may of 06. But I was not into regular training until the last week of December when I do run in 2 weekdays and weekends. I average 32 miles/week pior to marathon but I’m still short of indurace and passed out in 37k of the race and I started walking. But I still manage to finnish the race in 4 hrs and 28 (unofficial). I’m in front of the way up to the finnish line and I’m confident the one you heard shouting “BALD RUNNER” was me. I been reading your blogs for tips prior to the race. I’m planning for a second marathon run in August. I hope you could post more tips…

Maraming Salamat…
Mabuhay po Kayo!

Hi baldrunner, congrats on your finish! As a relative newcomer to the sport, I enjoy reading your running stories and tips. Also, since my late grandfather was also in the military, I would like to thank you for your service and dedication to our country. Keep on running!

Bald Runner! Congratulations! There was no doubt you’d run this marathon looking so cool and calm. You didn’t even look like you were cramping or that you were slightly ill.
I love the last Lance Armstrong shot haha.

By the way, Garmin has a backlight. Just press top left button for a few seconds.

Enjoy your rest and indulge in some good food. You deserve it.
