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. I usually spend my Saturdays bumming around the house, but this Saturday, I was given the great opportunity to join the All Women's Run! As I always tell my friends, "basta RunRio, Sulit!" and I was once again NOT disappointed. - I arrived 5-10 minutes after the 5k gun start and started almost together with the 3k runners. I felt really sad and did not r...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

Thoughts and Result of the RunRio Trilogy Leg 1 for 2011
by Cheryl Villareal on Mar 9th, 2011
Months before the race started, I was already feeling very eager and excited. Last year, I joined all 3 legs of the RunRio trilogy, and this year, I hope to achieve the same. I convinced my friends Jessica and Mon to join me and my fiance Philippe in the run. They were hesitant at first because of the price, but I convinced them Rio organized races were well worth it! They finally gave in and registered. I'm sure they did not regret it. :) The...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )

Globe Run for Home 2011 at the Bonifacio Global City and Makati Central Business District
by Cheryl Villareal on Mar 3rd, 2011
In its run last 2009, Globe Run For Home introduced the use of timing chips. I must say, these chips have proven to be very useful over the past years. It's also what I usually look for if a race asks for more than 500php. On it's 2nd run last 2010, Globe Run for Home decided to use recycled PET bottles for the singlets! I'm not sure how to explain PET bottles to those who don't know, but basically, these are the plastic bottles of mineral wate...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )
