my run on 14-may-2009

i'm officially making a comeback!!!

ran a good 9.8kms according to my nike+ counter, which i honestly think isn't accurate. i just enjoyed my run. started at don bosco pasay road, all the way up to edsa. at edsa, took a left to hotel dusit thani to ayala. ayala to makati ave, then circled around the streets of salcedo village.

i manage to run for a good 35mins, then changed my song to All American Rejects' 20-minute speed workout. i had 8-speed one-minute speed bursts and a half-minute recovery. i think i would have been better running on a track for that kind of training.

oh, an update. my shins don't hurt much anymore. i think it has something to do with the lacing of my shoes as well. i also do a forefoot strike/landing so my quads and calves get the action.

and starting now. i'm gonna share what i'm learning from the net.

my run on 05-may-2009

after almost two months of avoiding runs, i ran this morning!

a good 5K revved up the running machine in me! i'm really concentrating on landing on my forefoot to avoid stress on my shins, which i think worked! i wasn't experiencing any shin pain earlier. but i have to honestly say that i popped an advil before my run just in case. boohoo..

but still, i ran this morning. and i'm really happy that i did it!

and oh, i got my Nike+ Milestone today too! i logged in a total of 250K ever since i started using it. but of course, i ran more than 250K than this record. i'm just happy to have this achievement though.

yay!

my run on 13-apr-2009

after the loooooooong hiatus due to the pain in my right shin, i was able to run this morning! yey!

i took muscle relaxants (myonal) as prescribed by a doc last week. this was because two saturdays ago, my right shin was in great pain after running a few KMs in my usual roxas boulevard route. i didn't know why. there are a lot of reasons to it, and it must be because i pushed myself hard during the condura run 2009.

although there's still pain, i was able to run a good 6KM++ this morning. thank GOD!

i'm looking forward to Sunday's Greenfield run.

oh! men vs women!

ooooooh! this i sooooo love!

this is a re-post from a favorite blog of mine, ohlalamag.com.

EVA LONGORIA VS TONY PARKER

Why is Eva Longoria throwing Tony Parker's running shows in the Canyon from their Hollywood Hills mansion !?



Don't worry it's all good between those two, Eva just wanted to help women to win the Nike Plus Challenge bien sur! Unless Eva Longoria is running with her high heel shoes then I don't get why Tony Parker through them out of the window too ... Come on Tony you gotta to stop her from running not shopping on Rodeo Drive ;-)

This European marketing campaign 'Men vs Women Challenge' starting on March 13 and ending on April 20 is the world’s largest running club Nike Plus will register the kilometers of men and women who join an official Men vs. Women online running challenge using the Nike+ system.



Launched in 2006, Nike+ allows Nike+ running shoes to transmit data wirelessly to an iPod nano, an iPod touch or Nike+ SportBand. Information on time, distance, pace and calories burned during a run.



The Men vs. Women campaign features a television ad that star Roger Federer, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Tony Parker and Eva Longoria Parker, Paula Radcliffe, Sofia Boutella and Fernando Torres.

And congratulations to my friends who ran as well, you know who you are.
