[gallery orderby="rand"]

The most anticipated marathon event happened on Oct. 23, 2011. It was well attended by runners specially from other Asian Countries. Yours truly was there to cover the event.

The adidas King of the Road (KOTR) came to a vibrant and colorful close at the Bonifacio Global City grounds as thousands of participants fought to the finish as they vied for the ‘adidas Southeast Asia King of the Road 2011’ crown.

Exemplifying the brand’s exceptional commitment to sport, the adidas KOTR has unified runners from all around Asia – with participants from Thailand, then Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The race then culminated here in its first ever host country, making Philippines the ultimate race destination. Represented through the variety of different coloured adidas singlets, the multi-colour showcase is meant to demonstrate the vibrancy of the sports scene across Southeast Asia.

The adidas KOTR was a testament to the keen and enthusiastic participants overflowing with energy as early as three in the morning as they prepare for the very first gunstart at 5AM. With three different categories varying from 5K, to 16.8K and 21K, the routes make for an enjoyable and pleasant race day. adidas definitely delivered the race of a lifetime, creating an experience where runners not only challenged themselves but also achieved personal breakthroughs. Celebrities who made personal breakthroughs in this race are Robi Domingo, Rich Hardin, and Karylle . Even Iza Calzado, Will DeVaughn, Kim Atienza, and Rovilson Fernandez went all in with at the adidas King of the Road race.

The 16.8K category is the most distinctive signature distance this year as winners from the previous legs in Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia were flown in to represent their countries. Taking home the King of the Road 2011 crowns are I Gusti Gede Karang Asem with a running time of 57:58 and Mary Joy Tabal with a runnning time of 1:04:44 for our 16.8K Southeast Asian  winners, David Mutai with a running time of 54:41 and Esthar Karimi with a running time of 1:02:07 for the 16.8K Open Category; John Philip Duenas with a running time of 54:41 for the 16.8K Closed Category; Kimbert Sarmiento  with a running time of 15:59 for the 5K Category; and Frederick Mwingirwa Mathiu with a running time of 1:10:12 for the 21K Category.

With the availability of premium running products and training platforms, adidas provides runners with the tools needed for a better run—whether it’s finishing the first marathon or breaking a personal best.

From the adiNation of Runners, a running community formed to help motivate and train running enthusiasts to train together on a weekly basis; to the launch of the adidas miCoach virtual training system, nothing else gets a runner more prepared for a race than adidas. Race analysis and photos will be made available 3 weeks after the race day at www.runrio.com.

It was really a sweaty day for me because it was hot and sunny outside. In this kind of season Nivea deodorant is the one that works best. Roll-ons are sticky but with this one it's not.



Using Nivea Silver Protect; the deodorant and the roll-on, you feel fresh after!

Compared to the previous brand that I used, Nivea is amazing it's the most effective and long-lasting.


With Nivea, I am able to go to the gym and work out without worrying about my underarm odor. It goes on very smooth, fights odor all day, all without any aluminum or heavy fragrances

Now I choose to buy a brand new Hanford brief because my old brief looks like bacon now. I need to get a new one.  So I went to marketplace and searched for Hanford briefs for sale. When I found a Hanford Boys Fun Auto Collection at Handford Ph’s store I immediately clicked Proceed to Checkout button.

Entered my address and selected Paypal as my payment option, then clicked place your order

 Tip: *Remember to fill out the form completely

 

 

After entering my complete information, my address is now posted and I'm ready to pay my order

I payed my order using PayPal

See ! It’s so convenient to buy a brief online using Multiply marketplace.

Now this made me think why don’t I also sell products online or might as well promote my services, besides putting up an online store at Multiply does not cost anything. So I think I will be I will be turning my Multiply account into an online store as well.
