Second Buddy Run

Last year I ran with my buddy turned my wife Cindy. Now we have a cute little baby girl named Adi.

This year we are here again running for the second time.

It was a fine weather Sunday morning at Camp Aguinaldo.

Thanks to Robinsons Supermarket for organizing this run for the 10th year.

Finished 5K thru a long walk and little run of joy.

Coach Jim and Toni Saret said we just like mag jowa only.

Since it's a wonderful day we decided to go to ACE Water Spa after the run.

6 Reasons To Join Color Manila’s Blacklight Run

You see the same sights, follow a steady pace, and apart from the music blaring in your earphones, you don’t really get a lot of variety—so what’s fun about a run?

How about joining Color Manila’s Blacklight Run to see for yourself?

Color Manila is encouraging everyone to sign up for a one of a kind running experience—one that combines fitness with new and exciting sights, opportunities to bond with family and friends, while still getting all the benefits of exercise.

(From L-R): Pinoy Fitness’ Jeff Lo, and Color Manila’s Justine Cordero and Jay Em, encourage everyone to join the Blacklight Run, where there’s absolutely no competition – just running at your own pace and having fun.

Here are some of the reasons why you should seriously consider lacing up those running shoes—

For Fitness

While undeniably fun, you’re still bound to reap the benefits of exercise. Challenge yourself and see if you can beat your time and distance, or choose to take in the colorful sights at a pace you’re comfortable with—either way, you’ll feel better about having joined and finished it.

It’s At Night

Not a morning person? No problem. Since the Blacklight Run is happening at night, you don’t need to worry about waking up early or running under the heat of the sun. Color Manila makes this night run even more spectacular through the colors they’d be using – the colors would glow in the dark, thanks to the blacklight that would illuminate the entire race route.

Colors

Running can be boring—and once in a while, it helps to add a bit of variety into the mix. For Color Manila, as the name implies, it’s all about the hues. Whether you opt for the 10K, 5K or 3K, you can be sure to enjoy a unique running event amid filled with neon colors.

Go At Your Own Pace

The focus here is fun. It doesn’t matter if you’re a running pro who can easily complete 10K in a blink, or a newbie just dipping your toe in the world of running, it’s the perfect event to get started. Piece of advice – just enjoy the race route.

Get Social

For those who are always on the look out for something new and exciting things to do in the city, the Blacklight Run creates a perfect venue to get into shape, bond with family and friends, and of course, meet new people.

Ready, Sync, Go!

Synchronize your watches for a grand adventure in ARCA South. The 74-hectare Taguig property, set to become a new “city in sync” as master-planned by Ayala Land, Inc., is hosting a mobile-app integrated adventure run on Saturday, September 19, 2015.

           

SyncRUNize will be unlike other regular 5 km runs as it challenges both body and mind through a number of physical obstacles and mental drills. Racers will first have to download the exclusive SyncRUNize mobile app available on Google Play and iOS. 

The app directs participants from one checkpoint to another where they will have to accomplish the physical or mental challenge before they can get to the next.

           

ARCA South has partnered with Guerilla Race, organizers of the fierce sport Guerilla Race Series, to specially design the obstacle course. Mental drills, which can include calculations, stock knowledge tests, or abstract reasoning were designed by Go Go Hunt. Other partners are The North Face, Fox, Oculus Archery and as the partner-beneficiary of the event, the Help Educate and Rear Orphans (HERO) Foundation. Part of the proceeds from SyncRUNize will serve as educational aid to the children of soldiers incapacitated or killed in the line of duty.

 Racers can compete as individuals or as teams of four.  They will get a chance to win P90,000 worth of cash and prizes for individual and group winners. At the end of the race, participants can celebrate their victory at Sync City, where they can enjoy the interactive booths and the food market.

“SyncRUNize is the kind of event that embodies the principle behind ARCA South as a City in Sync,” said Mr. Stephen Comia, ARCA South Project Development Manager. “The development is envisioned to be the newest CBD in Taguig where all the elements that make a city are present and in sync. In addition, the efficient management of the road network, traffic, communications, environment, security and other systems in ARCA South are primary.”

With DOTC’s planned Integrated Transport System (ITS) –South Terminal being recently awarded to Ayala Land, Inc., ARCA South will become one of the most highly connected districts in the city. This world-class transport terminal will rise beside ARCA South and increase accessibility to the property. The direct link to the Skyway and C5/ C6 highways will also make ARCA South minutes away from Makati, Bonifacio Global City and the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

ARCA South will also eventually operate with a centralized system for traffic, power and security management, furthering its vision of being a city in sync. The district will be highly pedestrianized, punctuated by green spaces and streetscapes, and integrated basement parking to free the streets.

Registration for SyncRUNize is available on www.arcasouth.ph or in Chris Sports branches nationwide until September 18, 2015.

To get to ARCA South, participants can take the East Service Road along South Luzon Expressway or C5 in Taguig.  While for those interested to take the public transport, for a minimum fee of P30 per person per roundtrip, participants can also avail of shuttle services to the race via pick up points in Tower 1 in Ayala Avenue, Makati; TriNoma Mall, Quezon City; and Alabang Town Center, Muntinlupa.

When you love Running Does Taking Care of your Skin Becomes A Problem?

Here's what I regularly do to at least take care of my health :

• Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables.


• Drinking Wheatgrass (Thanks to Ida Bata for the products)


• Regular Exercise and Avoiding Stress.


• Going to YSA Skin Care Center for skin healthcare.

After becoming busy to fun runs and regular jogging I forgot that I already need to visit YSA Skin Care because my skin is becoming baluga again due to sun exposure.

I do jog regulary and add sit-ups after because I wanted to get rid of my big tummy and achieve a six pack abs. Well,  two of my body parts that I am very conscious about is my dirty face and my big tummy.

Somehow I would love to feel and look good so I can have many friends. Lol

RACE FOR LIFE 2011 : PUTTING THE FUN BACK IN THE RUN

Running has been a real passion because throughout life you get rid all kinds of stresses in your life.
Once you get out there and you start doing it, you just kind of pay attention to it.

It helps you get away from everything. All the stress seems to disappear and all your worries goes away.
You may see the type of nature, like maybe a squirrel running around, or just someone walking there baby in a carriage, and then all your worries just go away and then you just keep going and going and going.
You start pushing yourself harder and harder, and before you know it you are getting better and better.
It all works out because it helps you stay in great shape. It takes off the extra weight that you don't want.
It gives extra energy throughout the day.
Running reduces stress level , It gives you the energy to complete things throughout the day and life seems so much better.

How to Loose Weight this Holy Week

1. Biking

Biking is a good exercise. A few days ago I joined the massive bike ride of the 13th tour of the fireflies. I lost 2 lbs. after biking for almost 5 hours. Medyo masakit sa puwet pero I am happy because we also did it for clean air.




2. Running

Yes it's true that running can help you loose weight. I lost 1 lb. during the Nat Geo Earth Day Run 2011 last April 10, 2011 at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig



3. Playing Ultimate Frisbee

When I have free time I go to UP Sunken Garden to play Ultimate Frisbee, it's an effective way to loose weight because it involves a lot of running, so you really sweat a lot when you play this.



4. Swimming

And of course, swimming. Nothing beats a natural way of loosing weight with swimming. My friend Jayson Biadog swims and this is his way of loosing weight.



How about you what do you do to loose weight?
