My Fitness Autobiography

Nowadays, a lot of people comment on how into running I am.  How much of a health-aware individual I am and that I’m capable of posting respectable run times.  In my latest endeavor, I’m now trying out multi sports.  I’ve invested a significant amount of time in my swim since based on my first attempt at an aquathlon and a triathlon, it was obvious that I did not know what I was getting into.  Hopefully in the coming years, I get to improve.  But looking back, I don’t think I ever thought in my wildest dreams that I would have goals like these… Now I dream of finishing the 100-mile edition of the Bataan Death March Ultramarathon, I dream of doing and completing the Ironman event in Kona, Hawaii.  These are dreams that I never had, and never thought of while growing up – dreams that started only sometime 2009.

Flying…

With my new work, I’ve had the opportunity to travel more, and I’ve discovered a number of reasons why I love to fly.  Here’s a quick list of my reasons why I love to fly… what are yours?

Travel Review: PAL’s Redemption

A few months ago, I blogged about the terrible demeanor and poor service I received from the stewards of PAL in my flight back to Manila.  That, though disgruntled, they should not take their sentiments out on the paying public.

Food Review: Lusso

It was that online review saying that Lusso boasts of having the metro’s best burger. The place is a little hard to find since we couldn’t see a sign outside. We found it though after asking help from one of the security guards.

Sweet Sole Review: Brooks Racer ST5

Finally a light weight racer that has “enough shoe” for a marathon!

Registration Fee Woes

I noticed that the first thing runners complain about in a race is the registration fees.  There’s always this talk about the fees being too expensive, and that organizers are taking advantage of the “running boom”.  Well, not that I’m siding with the organizers, but I just wanted to give my thoughts and see if I can put myself in their shoes as well.  (Runners, organizers and race directors, feel free to chime in!)

Sweet Sole Review: Brooks T7 Racer

Probably the lightest Brooks model to date…. well… at least among those that I’ve tried.  This racer is definitely a speed demon, and has been my weapon whenever I would gun for a new personal best.  With these shoes, I’ve hit my fastest 10km runs, and my times have continuously gone down!
