I was thinking long and hard about my moniker. I’ve asked a couple of people, one of them being fellow Runnroo, Jean, and she told me to call myself odd things like The Bully Runner or The Pathetic Runner.She must have misheard me and thought I was asking what she wanted to call herself. (Hi […]

How did I survive my first 25KM long distance run/walk?
Rose Buenconsejo shares her first 25 kilometer run with the Runnroo during the Tour de Cebu Stage 3. Why I joined Runnroo’s Tour de Cebu? As I mentioned in my ‘online diary,’ I joined Runnroo’s Tour de Cebu to get reconnected with my childhood kind of life. I was a barrio girl (I am still […]

Tour de Cebu Stage 3: The Real Winner
I had trouble sleeping the night before Tour de Cebu Stage 3. It could be because I slept on the floor and heard foot steps or maybe because the foam bed was quite thin. I also felt something different when I tried to stretch my right leg. It felt like the joints were grinding; and […]
My Longest run, so far!
25K, from Capitol as Kilometer 0 to Naga as Kilometer 25, from 4:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Okay, so I’m crazy…but crazy only because I’ve never done this before. Running for more than four hours — almost six kilometers per hour — breathing in pollution coming from buses and big trucks along the national highway, […]
Running reflection on a Sunday
After eleven hours of sleep, I felt that my body has recovered enough from Saturday’s Tour de Cebu Stage 3 six-hour run. I suffered pain on the sole of my feet because I ran barefoot in the first 8 kilometers and with my slippers on in the last 17 kilometers. The pain is manageable though […]
Tour de Cebu
Last July, I had fun watching Tour de France 2011. I was so amazed how these professional cyclists were able to ride around France in 21 days in an average distance of 150 kilometer per stage in 5 hours (the numbers are rough estimate). Aside from the cyclists and their advanced lightweight bike, I was […]
Tour de Cebu 1: Cebu Capitol – Naga City
Saturday. August 06, 2011. I forgot when and how the talk about touring the Cebu island on foot started, but it was Joseph, the 4-1 Runner, who kept pushing it. No formal planning at all. No serious preparation. A public Facebook event invitation was created to encourage more runners as well as photographers and travelers […]

Reasons why I run…
Many injuries are associated with running because of its high impact nature: pain in the knee, shin splints, pulled muscles, twisted ankles and some other leg related injuries. Why did I still opt to run when running can cause injuries? Here are the reasons why I run… Running is an inexpensive activity. All I need is a […]
A beginner’s guide to running
by Odina Abellana The day before I’m set to run, I take mental notes of what I’m supposed to bring: jogging pants, shoes, comfortable socks, warmers, a scrunchie (though I sometimes forget this) and the garmin watch we use to map out our adventure. My jogging pants symbolizes the length of the journey we are […]
The Silent Jogger
Hello my name is Paolo G. Lim and I am a runner. My running started way back in high school, in the form of leisurely jogs around my hometown, Tagum. But I never took it seriously, or joined any races. This would go on until college here in Cebu, where I’d take jogs to Marco […]
Hello, World! We are the Runroo Five
Running is simple but it’s not easy, but if you ask me why I’m running, I’d tell you “because it’s definitely worth it!” I started running more than a year ago without any thought of doing a half or full marathon, not even a 10 kilometer. I didn’t also promise myself anything mileage-related. I fancied short […]
