http://marathonfoodie.blogspot.com/2011/12/long-road-high-drama.html
I run because I won't give up my humba. Saturday, December 31, 2011. Long Road, High Drama. November 22, 2011. All within the past 12 months Cebu played host to the staging of five ultramarathons with distances ranging from 50 to 65 kilometers. But the Cebu Century Properties 100K Ultramarathon last November 18-19 was a landmark run of sorts for Cebu being, the longest footrace the province had ever seen passing through four cities and eight towns.

MARATHON FOODIE: November 2009
http://marathonfoodie.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
I run because I won't give up my humba. Thursday, November 26, 2009. RUNNR in Cebu (and a blast from the past! This was my first road race ever. As you can see in the photo, runners then were content to be running in cotton garments (in my case, the regulation cotton PE shirt and shorts from STC) and sneakers (regulation Spartan brand which was the required footwear for PE class). The lady just behind me is wearing denim shorts and canvass slip-ons! It was a miracle we didn't get injured as much then.

MARATHON FOODIE: February 2010
http://marathonfoodie.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
I run because I won't give up my humba. Friday, February 26, 2010. Click image to enlarge.). It hasn’t sunk in yet. Even as I write this first column, I still can’t believe how running has taken me to a totally unexpected path – from non-athlete to certified marathoner and now a sports columnist. This incredible journey started February 8, 2009, on a chilly Sunday morning. In Hongkong where I got picked up by the sweeper bus at kilometer 25 for running too slow. And I’ve had two full marathons unde...

http://marathonfoodie.blogspot.com/2011/12/fitting-farewell.html
I run because I won't give up my humba. Saturday, December 31, 2011. October 25, 2011. Last Sunday, there were three runs happening simultaneously, but runners whether veterans or newbies, knew where they had to be. The tribute run for the late Melinda Ponce gathered a total of 1,436 registered runners after only five days of blitzkrieg organizing. There were several tribute runs for Melinda last Sunday. There was one in Manila, another in Legazpi City and in Tagbilaran Bohol. View my complete profile.

It’s one of the many reasons why a. While the first qualification is based solely on. It is the longest individual road race crossing three prov...

MARATHON FOODIE: October 2009
http://marathonfoodie.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
I run because I won't give up my humba. Tuesday, October 20, 2009. On Tuesday morning, I got this from the mail. Inside was an invitation to run the 2010 Standard Chartered Hongkong Marathon. No, I'm not that special, it's just that the HKAA has a mailing list of all previous entrants and they have budget for invites sent the old school way. The cut-off time remains the same - 5:30. Speaking of training, there are those who say that if you want to improve your time, there must be specificity of training&...

MARATHON FOODIE: Road to Redemption (Last of 3 parts)
http://marathonfoodie.blogspot.com/2012/02/road-to-redemption-last-of-3-parts.html
I run because I won't give up my humba. Sunday, February 12, 2012. Road to Redemption (Last of 3 parts). Two weeks before Bataan Death March 160 I was resigned to running the last 58 kilometers of the dark and treacherous Mac Arthur highway alone. Then like manna from heaven, God gave me Ken Alonte and his partner of eight years Emmilie Cuizon. My pacer Ken Alonte sent to me by the gods of ultramarathon running. It was way too fast! When we reached Mabalacat, we met Bro. Carlo Bacalla who had earlier...
