A Happy Recovery
Posted by jgavan101 on September 29th, 2008

A week of waiting
The back pain persisted until Thursday. I was not able to do my morning runs. I would wake [...]

Quennie rode a jam packed bus on the way home last week. It was crowded that there was no place to sit. Fortunately, a guy gave up his seat for her and stood instead.
While the guy was standing up, she noticed the print at the back of his shirt. It looked familiar [...]

It’s Quennie’s birthday and I don’t have a gift. I have an excuse. I don’t have a new atm yet to withdraw my money and get her a gift. I wanted to give her the most fashionable flipflops in the market. But she doesn’t like it at all.
Anyway, I just made [...]
Running in the Moonlight

When practicing for your first marathon, they strongly urge you not to miss the long runs. While there will be shorter runs in the middle of the week, it is the long runs that builds up the mileage and the endurance to finish the full 42kms. I do my long runs on Sunday [...]

I just lost my wallet last week on the jeep. I think someone took it since I dont want to admit that I misplaced it. I was about to go home from work and take the bus when I found out it was not in my pocket. I dont have any other [...]
Bacolod Food Trip
Posted by jgavan101 on September 11th, 2008
Whenever I return to my hometown, my diet is completely forgotten. I would usually resist the urge to eat a lot on the first day, second day, third… no. I would usually give up on the third day. It would be two servings of chicken inasal and two servings of rice at [...]

Finally, we have a date for the wedding.
We don’t have a mushy picture to post for the announcement. So I thought the race number idea will work for now. The colors used is also our motif for the wedding. Unless, Quennie changes her mind again.
April 19, 2009. Save the date.

Dream Run #1

Starting Point – KM42 at Pontevedra just at the foot of the bridge
In 2001, I told myself that I should run a 10km distance before I reach the age 40. What I had in mind was to run from Pontevedra, which is my fathers hometown, to Hinigaran, which is my mother’s hometown. It [...]
