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 […]
