Christmas Party and Run Races for the Indigent Kids of Daang Hari

Hi everyone,

Pinay In Action is holding a Christmas Party with Run Races and other games this Dec 11 in Daang Hari for the barefoot running kids.  If you would like to participate by joining and helping out you can do this just by showing up and playing with them and/ or you can also give some gifts to make their day.

Here are the Christmas Party Shirts we will be giving them, worked on the designs based on Senator Pia’s idea.

Hope you can join us!!!

Team Woman Run

Girl Power Time!

This morning was a special one dedicated to women runners, I had such an excellent time bonding with girlfriends!  My Fitness First-South Tri teammates Belle, Mimi, and Rizzo signed up for the Team Relay and clinched the third spot, and that really made our day as we were up against an amazing bunch of women.  Adding to the fun was the fact that a lot of my fellow female triathletes joined as well, including Marichu, Mica, Trina, Nina, Tessa, Leana, Fiona, Monica, Kim, Amanda, Bea, Leica, Chesca, and many more! Some of the participants wore costumes (my teammates and I were dressed as beach bombshells) and special prizes were given to the best ones. 

Congrats Lactacyd, Princess Galura and Coach Rio for another great event!!!

Thanks Mica for the pics and of course P.R. for being our pacer and support crew!!! 🙂

Century Tuna Run plus Phil Premiere Cycling League Time Trials

Well this is a really belated entry but nevertheless I still wanted to post some pics.

Three weeks ago I did the 21km run in the am, with my friend Arland keeping me company as he was willing to run easier as part of his taper for Ironman Langkawi.  It was an excellent run event with a lot of celebrities and friends although I had to hurry as I had to join the Philippine Premier Cycling League Time Trials in Sta Rosa on the same day!

TBR Dream Marathon, BULL CIRCLE

BULL CIRCLE: Series of Running Talks
THE MARATHON DREAM
What is a marathon? Why do runners dream of conquering it? We gather a team of marathoners with various backgrounds—a Boston-finisher, an ultramarathoner, a one-time marathoner hoping for a 2nd attempt—to impart their wisdom and practical tips to guide you on training for a marathon. They will also talk about their various marathon experiences, whether it was in Pasig or Paris, to inspire and motivate you.
For TBR Dream Marathoners, we will also talk about the TBR Dream Marathon. We introduce you to the TBR Dream Team, the organizing committee behind the marathon and faces you’ll see regularly from now until marathon day. Plus, you’ll get to meet other TBR Dream Marathoners who will take on the journey with you.
We hope to share the message that you don’t have to be a super athlete nor do you have to devote your entire life to running just to finish a marathon. Proper training, plus dedication and hard work, can get you to reach your marathon goal.
DATE: Wednesday, 17 February 2010
TIME: 7:00 PM
VENUE: 3/f R.O.X., Bonifacio High Street
HOW MUCH: free of charge, no pre-registration required
WHO CAN COME: Open to the public but TBR Dream Marathoners will be given priority seating.
* TO TBR DREAM MARATHONERS: Upon signing in at ROX, pls. inform us if you are a confirmed TBR Dream Marathoner so we can assist you. We will also give you your 1 BOX OF CECON TABLETS (100PCS) so you can start taking it during training.
