A Happy Recovery
Posted by jgavan101 on September 29th, 2008
After a “broke back” episode last week that got me off the track for seven days, I’m back on the road. A happy one for me and an instant surprise for Que.
A week of waiting
The back pain persisted until Thursday. I was not able to do my morning runs. I would wake [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
Any Given Sunday
Posted by jgavan101 on September 1st, 2008
Sundays are for long runs. I’m building up my mileage as I practice for a full marathon hopefully this year or early next year. I’m not sure where yet. Plenty of options but I would prefer it to be outside the country or at least outside Metro Manila.
This Sunday was for a [...]

Posted by jgavan101 on August 19th, 2008

I was wearing the same shirt and the same shorts that day. It was [...]

Posted by jgavan101 on August 15th, 2008
After being desperate of not running whenever it rains, I decided to buy a rain jacket that I can use for running. It’s also my reward for hitting my 300km. It cost me more than my budget so I have been excited to use it and get the value for my money. [...]
