Top Runners’ Stories for July

———————————-

“If the truth of our running is that in our ‘moving’ we find ourselves, then running is the gift that allows us to know ourselves deeper.” – Ultra Distance Runner Lizzy Hawker

Then, telling running stories is a way of sharing that gift.

Thus, we thought of making the posting/sharing of the top stories in aktib.ph a monthly thing, which we started last June (see here >>).

And, as our little thank you note, we’re giving aktib.ph visor to contributor of the number 1 story of each month. We love to give everyone a visor but we are quite low on budget (hopefully, only for now!). Once when we’ll be rich as Pacquiao, we’ll have a “run for aktib.ph visor” where everyone will get one even without running! =) So for those asking, how to get an aktib.ph visor, simply share a story with us at aktib.ph. (How to get visor? More details here >>.)

Without further ado, here are our top stories for July!

* of Torn Compression Pants, Coke Soaked Socks, Sockless Second Loop and My First Ultra by Maria Christine Colmenares

“So, I am happy to say that I survived my first Ultramarathon despite the lack of proper training and preparation. I must admit that it wasn’t an easy one. In fact, it was a painful one, but I will gladly go through all that again because the sense of fulfillment after completing this foot race is beyond comparison.” Read on here >>

Thank you to all, January to July! Please, more to come!
