One of my most awaited races for the year, Adobo Run After Dark didn’t disappoint as far as being one of the most fun events of the year! It was a real fun run, and here’s how it was from my perspective:

By the way, something is coming up from the event’s beneficiary, Isang Litrong Liwanag. For now, here’s a cool video that I hope will inspire everyone to be part of spreading light throughout the country:
The United Nations (UN) has estimated that today, October 31, 2011, the world’s population has reached seven billion people. That’s 7,000,000,000! Of course, this figure has some margins of error as nobody can really tell the exact population of each country in the world. For your reference, the Philippines is estimated to have a population of 94,013,200 (2010), the 12th largest in the world, with the city of Manila being the most densely populated city in the world with 43,079 inhabitants per square kilometer (District 6 being the most dense with 68,266 inhabitants per square kilometer).
There’s quite a lot of us in the world. I hope we all do our best to save our resources for our children and their children.

Costume Crisis
Halloween is almost here, one of the “newest” and most enjoyable western tradition assimilated with our own. For kids, it’s much ado about the “trick-or-treat”-ing, but for the kids at heart, it’s about the costumes and parties! It’s fun just thinking about it, but I have a problem–I don’t have a costume yet!
The official race results for the recently concluded adidas King of the Road Southeast Asia Championship are now published via adidaskingoftheroad.com. As of press time only the 5K and 21K results are available.

Awarding of the winners for the 21K
Congratulations everyone!
The first ever adidas King of the Road (KOTR) Southeast Asia Championship had just concluded in Bonifacio Global City, Metro Manila, Philippines, and I’d say it’s the most “international” race I’ve experienced in the Philippines so far. Here’s my recap on this outstanding race:

Completed adidas King of the Road? Congratulations! Looking for the race results? Well, it’s going to be available soon! So why does this post exist in the first place? This is my attempt at educating some runners as well as protest about some bad practices I’m seeing online.
Finally, the wait is over! Here are the official designs of the Run United 3 finisher’s shirts for both 32K and 21K. If you joined my poll, you’d be surprised with the results. 
From Philam Foundation: Today, millions of children in the country’s remote and far-flung communities have no access to quality education. Schools in these areas, should there even be any, are makeshift structures that are not conducive for learning. Philam Foundation, the corporate social responsibility arm of Philam Life and affiliate companies, are committed to change this. With our Philam Paaralan program, we envision to build clean, safe, and well-furnished schools in every underserved region in the country. In fact, last June 29, 2011, we have already built eight (8) classrooms in the province of Isabela!

Nike, We Ran Manila!
My first and longest race in more than two months, Nike We Run Manila surely gave me a lot to think about when it comes to my future long distance races. It was a lot of fun, but it wasn’t as easy as I originally thought it would be!
