The Chronicles of SAR: First Day at Hong Kong (Day 03)

Our China Special Administrative Region (SAR) tour would of course not be complete if we didn’t visit the other SAR, Hong Kong.  For our third day, we were up early to temporarily say goodbye to Macau, and say hello to Hong Kong.

I Ran with Piolo: Timex Run 2012

I’m not just making this up or saying this figuratively, really did ran with Mr. Piolo Pascual and Coach Rio dela Cruz, literally!  This was during this weekend’s Timex Run 2012 which was one of my most memorable and fun races of all time.  And oh, the official race results are also out.

Hot Issue: Runner’s World Philippines Jan-Mar 2012 Edition

Do you already have the latest issue of Runner’s World Magazine Philippines?  The latest one is a “Marathon Special” and aside from getting the magazine, you also get an arm band to place your gadget when you run—for still the same regular price of ₱150.  But I’m actually more interested in that special feature about “Top Running Bloggers.” :D

Dried Mango Chronicles: Cebu City Marathon 2012

Cebu City Marathon 2011 holds my record for my fastest marathon so breaking my course record would also mean a new personal best—what a pressure!  On a lighter note, merely completing CCM will finally take me across my first 3,000 kilometers.  Will I be able to break my previous record, or will I just break a leg?  That’s what went through my mind, and this was what went on with the race.

All set for the race

Dried Mango Chronicles: Kublai Khan and the Day before Cebu City Marathon

One of my most eagerly awaited event to jumpstart my year has arrived, the Cebu City Marathon.  Flying in on a Saturday afternoon gave me just enough time to claim my kit, do my last grocery shopping, and eat all I can—wait, uhm, yeah, eat all I can!

Departing from NAIA Terminal 3: We used the sky bridge which led us down to a bus: “Riding a bus. More fun in the Philippines.”
