Why do I run? One of my mentors once asked me, if I had the chance to know the exact time and date I’ll perish from this planet, how would I choose to spend those moments? I thought long and…
Today, the eve of Chinese New Year, me and my friends planned a 12KM run that became just 8 but it was well worth it. Today is also the birthday of Kuya Ariel, the guy who out runs everyone…
I am officially registered in the Sundown Marathon 2010. Whheeewwww!!!! Not for a 42 kilometer run. I’m not ready for that. I registered for the half-marathon. And even for that, the 5 months of running I’ve had might not…
Yesterday’s run was a short one. Just 8 KM for our team’s usual Tuesday night 12+ runs. We decided, to ensure the future of our running endeavors, we needed to first secure another endeavor we have in life, specifically…
This morning while wearing my socks I saw all the shoes I had. They were all either grey, black, or black and white. The first ever pair I bought since I’ve been staying here in Singapore that has color are…
This will probably be my last run for January. I’ve a total of 88.24 kilometers of running logged in runkeeper. I have a student who used to do 40km a week. My golly! Will I ever be able to…

There’s still 10 days left for 2010’s January and already I ran close to 60 kilometers. Today will be a rest day. I know I earned it because I’ve been running 4 straight days. In fact, my joints are beginning…
Click on the picture. Those pink markers are all the MRT stops from City Hall to Pasir Ris. If you look at the lower left part of the picture you’ll see that the total distance from the two train…
I am now addicted to running. In between classes (and sometimes during classes), my mind drifts off to the last run or the next run. I love the feeling that comes after a good (and even a bad) run.…
It’s raining here in Singapore. I’m in the bus stop waiting for my ride home. A guy just burst out from beside me running to cross the street with nothing but his hand to cover his head. Stupid.
Alright! I have some major backlog to put in order (due to some trouble with the site; you may have noticed the new names of the sections—a strategy I devised to fix the problem). No problem, everything will be in…
