A Comment From Project Donate A Shoe


The following is a comment I received from my Project Donate A Shoes Page in this blog. I really don’t know what to reply to the sender but I thought of posting his comment in this blog with the hope that my running friends from Souther California could help him.

2011 BDM 102 Test Run Instructions


Some participants were confused when I made a link to my previous post last year about my guidelines on the conduct of the DBM 102 Test Run which was held last year. Except for the date, I was trying to inform this year’s runners that the guidelines I published last year will be the same instructions to be followed this coming Saturday except for some adjustments.

The following points/information should be considered by the runners during the conduct of the BDM 102 Test Run this coming Saturday, January 15, 2011. This is in addition to the guidelines published last year: Continue reading “2011 BDM 102 Test Run Instructions”

Run Report: 2011 FAT ASS


(I jokingly said to the other runners that this run for me is called FAT ABS Run while showing them my tummy which had grown in shape/size and expanded due to the absence of any running activity for the past one month.)

This is a classic example of a run with fun and a chance to enjoy the company of other runners in a very relaxed atmosphere. Continue reading “Run Report: 2011 FAT ASS”

8+8+8


That is a total of 24 Minutes of Jogging & Walking which I did early this morning!

Exactly a month ago, I had an injury on my left calf muscle that made me completely out from running. It was a “blessing in disguise” to force my body to take a break for a much-needed rest and recovery after 11 months of marathon and ultramarathon races. Continue reading “8+8+8”

“This Is It!”

I Tried To Wear It

One Hundred Sixty Kilometers…Twenty-Eight Hours…One Silver Belt Buckle…A Lifetime Experience!

Review: My Past Running “Wishes”


On January 4, 2010, I posted my thoughts for my running wishes in 2010 and beyond.

Obviously, there had been an increase of running clubs and groups in 2010, not only in Metro Manila, but also in key cities and towns in the country. More runners had joined in weekend road races in Metro Manila, as well as in other cities and provinces. There seems to be a contest on major road races as to the record-breaking number of runners instead of improving the quality of service support to the runners.

One Wish


This is a wish that could be attained in 2-3 years. I wish that the BDM 102 and 160 will be included as a “Qualifying” Race for the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Race and Badwater Ultramarathon.

Let me know about your thoughts on this wish.

BR’s “Best” In Running For 2010


1) 2nd Edition of BDM 102—Better administration and conduct of the event with lesser manpower; more runner-participants; slowly getting exposure and awareness in the running community; runners from overseas increased; and finally dubbed as the “longest solo running event in the country today”.

2) Jeju & Soochow Ultramarathon Events—Exposure of our local elite athletes to IAU-sanctioned events proved to be beneficial. As a Race Organizer, more information and technology had been absorbed, studied and applied. Meeting and talking to the “Gods” of Ultrarunning in these events was one of the best experiences!

“Uh-Oh! I Did It Again”


Two days after the 2nd Quezon City International Marathon, I went to Camp Aguinaldo to have my recovery run. I planned to have one loop of the 7K-loop course with a slow pace. However, after running for about 5 kilometers, I slowly increased my pace up to the finish line. But my workout changed when I felt my 7K run was not enough. So, I decided to continue my run with a goal to finish 10K for the day. Continue reading ““Uh-Oh! I Did It Again””
