When the pressure of life gets into you, it will be helpful to constantly be reminded to have a breather and revisit the child within us. The playful kid in me was indeed awaken at Conquer Philippines 2013 and I couldn't be more rejuvenated. Without Limits Philippines and Proactive once again did a great job putting together one successful obstacle race event.
The past year has been so devastating for some Filipinos because of typhoons in our land. It became so often that those who just see these catastrophic events in the mainstream media became numb already and seemed not to be moved anymore. Now, who would't want to help by just doing the thing that we really love to do? By simply running Race For Life, we could help people more than we could ever realize. The category we will choose will definitely go a long way for others who are rebuilding their homes from the ground up. So register and help BDO foundation, Inc. to rebuild homes our fellowmen.
I do enjoy races that doesn't only offer a plain pavement to stomp onto. Races with additional challenges makes my mind forget about my tired feet. More so, makes me feel like a kid again. At my age, bringing back the child in me is a big deal. LOL! Come March 10 2013, "the" new obstacle race will come in the city. Don't be left out! Register and be surprised to what Without Limits and Proactive are in store for us this time. They organized prime and innovative races recently and it seems that their think tanks are still far from empty. This race will be brought to us by FSPI distributor Optimum Nutrition, a sports nutrition company, with the race carrying the Optimum Nutrition brand popular to athletes and bodybuilders
Just last year, China and the Philippines was locked on a naval stand-off. Our largest naval vessel was engaged with two Chinese maritime surveillance in a remote lagoon in the south china sea. Only then I realized how important the marines are. They are our first line of defense out in the sea, thus, its imperative to strengthen them or at least do something for their welfare. As runners, we now have a chance to look out on the welfare of those who are looking out for us and our sovereignty for almost two centuries.
I don’t know the exact stats. But I’ll bet that Commonwealth Avenue is one of the most travelled highways in Metro Manila. Its 6 to 12 lanes road caters to thousands of trucks, PUVs, PUJs, and private vehicles every day. With its recently implemented 60KPH speed limit, I could theoretically get to my office in just 20 minutes. But some segments can easily be clogged during rush hours, thus, stretching my travel time to 45 minutes or longer every day.
Quezon City International Marathon on its fourth year keeps its prestige and attracts foreign runners including a dear friend of mine to come home and grace this event.

Thanks to Runnex for decades of promoting the sport. Thanks to SMDC for making QCIM a part of your corporate social responsibilities. Thanks to Without Limits for ensuring an outstanding event for runners. A big thanks to Titanium Runner for making me a part of this eminent event. And many thanks to Diadora Philippines for my shoes and apparels. |

One could show his true fighting spirit through running. When the pain starts setting-in, that is the time when men gets ahead and be separated from the boys. I have seen the level of difficulties of leg 3, 13, and 23. And by the looks of it, there's no doubt that Jayson Escobar pulled them of with flying colors. The runner that motivates me whenever I see him dashing towards me - Jayson Escobar. And this is his account of Six:30 Epic Adventure.
