End Hunger: Walk the World (My Barefoot Experience!)
by Cheryl Villareal on May 29th, 2011
Around June last year, the first ever Walk the World Philippines was held at MOA. I enjoyed the event because it was clear with its goal to just walk 1 km or run a short distance and be part in helping to put an end to world hunger. Last year there was a band playing near the starting/finish line, there were several people wearing costumes and body paint as representatives from different provinces, there were mascots, and so much more! It really ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

The Xavier Community Presents: Stallion Run
by Cheryl Villareal on May 6th, 2011
Lately, I've seen several private schools organizing their own fun runs. However, I think this is the first school run (excluding college / university fun runs) I've seen which will have a half-marathon! I'm not sure if other schools have done it, but kudos if you have! This is definitely a great way to get the students back outside and away from TOO much technology! - On their 55th anniversary, The Xavier community invites everyone to jo...Read More » Tags Share Comments (3 )

Get Ready for The Greentennial Half Marathon
by Cheryl Villareal on Apr 23rd, 2011
Last January, I joined the 1st Greentennial Run with a friend. For a new name in the running world, Greentennial sure did not disappoint me. It was a clean run with lots of activities to do afterward! Because of the success of this run, several runners asked if they could organize another run, and so they did. But just before they finished it, the tragedies in Japan happened which led them to organize a run for the benefit of the victi...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

Greentennial Run for Japan – because we care!
by Cheryl Villareal on Apr 23rd, 2011
Just a month ago, Japan was hit with 3 calamities all in a few days time. First it was an 8.9 magnitude quake that rocked the country, and then it was followed by a massive tsunami that washed away hundreds and thousands of homes and buildings leaving several homeless, and if that wasn't enough, the nuclear reactors put each of their healths at stake as one after the other started to melt down. Truly, being in these situations and still surviving...Read More » Tags Share Comments (2 )

Results and Aftermath of the All Women’s Run
by Cheryl Villareal on Mar 24th, 2011
I don't usually join Saturday runs because I still feel tired from work the day before.
