Avon Kiss Goodbye to Breast Cancer (KGBC) Manila Run: Do Something Beautiful Today
by Cheryl Villareal on Aug 12th, 2013
They say that 1 out of 8 women in the world today suffer from breast cancer as if it were as easy to get it as the common cold.

Simply knowing these facts won’t really change anything, but concrete action towards better prevention, treatment and support in whatever...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

Teva Trail Challenge: Surviving a 5k Run, Hike and Swim with my TevaSphere Shoes
by Cheryl Villareal on Aug 9th, 2013
I’ve been getting invites to join trail runs for the longest time but I never really joined any mainly for 2 reasons: One, I didn’t have any trail shoes and two, I didn’t have any transportation. The only trail run I joined was a short trail run in Filinvest Alabang. Blog on that HERE. Last July 28, while most runners prepared for the historical Milo run, I was preparing for my first trail run in San Mateo Rizal. Everything was set...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Indoor Duathlon Experience at Fitness and Athletics
by Cheryl Villareal on Aug 4th, 2013
About a month ago, I was walking by the Fort to claim a race kit for an upcoming run when I ran into Ms. Arleen Lindo of Chris Sports right outside Fitness and Athletics. She invited me in to check out a participant who was in the middle of his indoor duathlon. She then invited me to give it a try myself.

by Cheryl Villareal on Jul 25th, 2013
Since the dawn of time, men and women have always loved competing to find out who’s better in doing a variety of tasks.
