Race for the Orphans
by Cheryl Villareal on Jan 23rd, 2012
As a teacher, I know how important education is for the young children. Though several only think it is the latter years that are important, studies have shown that it is the early years of education that mold the child to the person he or she will grow up to be. For most of you reading this post, you have been blessed with a strong foundation and good education that will help get you through the rest of your lives. For several others however,...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

My First Marshal Experience at Greentennial’s Rescue Run!
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 31st, 2011
Just 2 weeks ago, Cagayan de Oro and Iligan was hit with a huge typhoon that destroyed several homes and took away thousands of lives. Typhoon Sendong was one of the strongest to ever hit the two places, and they sure weren’t ready for it. In the spirit of bayanihan, everyone else tried to help out by sending donations in cash and kind. Others even experienced going to Mindanao and seeing the damage first hand. For the running comm...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

Rescue Run: Community Run for Typhoon Sendong Victims
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 24th, 2011
An entire town was nearly wiped out after a strong typhoon hit them just days ago. While I was comfortably hanging around with friends and “Facebooking”, THOUSANDS of people were fighting for their lives. I was shocked to come home and read all about it in the news… worse to even see videos of the people who lost their families, loved ones and home during the tragedy. Typhoon Sendong left at least 3,000 dead and thousands others homeless in...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 6th, 2011
People of today’s generation have become very comfortable with GPS! In fact, we are so comfortable with it that we have it on almost ALL of our gadgets –in our cars, on our laptops and on our phones! So it’s really no surprise that the watch industry, particularly the sports watches also used this new technology. When Soleus first began back in 2009, they were determined to be a RUNNING WATCH.

Soleus Sports Watch: “Giving Runners Everything We Need and Nothing We Don’t!”
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 5th, 2011
First and foremost, what does Soleus mean? I've heard the term, and I've even seen their team in several fun runs throughout the year, but I've never really thought about the meaning of the word. To me, Soleus was simply a sports watch. Well, for those of you who didn't know, the word soleus is actually a muscle in our body. It is a powerful muscle in the back part of the lower leg (or calf) and runs just below the knee all the way ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

My New Diadora Mythos Samurai III
by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 1st, 2011
After a tiring day at work, I came home to find something sitting on my bed. At a distance, it looked like a regular box. I knew my brother Vince was giving me a pair of shoes, but I had no idea what kind. I had no idea it would be a pair of Diadora Mythos Samurai III running shoes! Nice! - Diadora is an Italian athletic footwear and apparel manufacturer that began way back in 1948. They are more popular for their line of soccer shoes rathe...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

The 3rd Quezon City International Marathon
by Cheryl Villareal on Nov 26th, 2011
The Quezon City International Marathon started out back in 2009 and quickly worked it's way to the top. I heard about it in the past 2 years but have yet to try running her due to the unavoidable conflicts in my schedule. This year however, I think I'm going to break the ice. Not running a full marathon yet, but will at least experience running in the QCIM for the first time. Who knows, I might run my first marathon here in the future... after al...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )
