my 300th marathon....one of my worst marathon time. hurt my lower back the previous day. not from running but , i think, i pulled a muscle from carrying the box of pink shirt that i gave away to my friends and family. as early as mile 11 i was cramping already. i wore a pink shirt,moebens,zensah and a red tutu. it was an amazing experience with my family and running friends like ARC, MarathonManiacs and LA Frontrunners. |

i'm not mentally prepared for this race. i was on vacation for 2.5 months(actually i did a 50K and a marathon). i'm still in vacation mode. i miss the Philippines and London :( . The best running weather for Bulldog. the 1st lap was overcast and the sun came out after 4 hours and was not even that hot...and with some cool breeze. but ofcourse still lots of hills...my plan to walk all the uphills and run all the downhills(w/c i love). the big long hill during the second lap was terrible. i think i was walking sideways and at least 25 runners passed me. cramping the last six miles. :(...i will definitely do this race again next year..lots of ultra friends :) |

i love this race!! the first half is going up. i puke at mile 3 since i had a late dinner 7:30 and the race starts midnight. i'm kinda bloated. had lunch with my sister and friend at pink taco in Hard rock hotel(bus pick up).in the bus for 2.5hrs. i forgot my compression socks..darn! from mile 8-13 my legs were so heavy i have to walk. i guess it was not my day. but got a second wind at mile 13. ran the next 3-5 miles real fast and passed other runners...... |

almost DNS. my cellphone was 1 hr late. my flight from bangkok the previous day was delayed for 3 hrs. my cellphone kept the bkk time. i got up at 3:30(thinking that it was 2:30). since it was raining so hard, they might cancel the race. so i checked the internet. then i realized that it was already 4am. 4am is starting time for 42k. i rushed to the race venue. took a taxi. luckily, i live nearby. i saw the frontrunners already @ 5k mark. so when i arrived at MOA(mall of asia; race venue). i checked in my bag and my umbrella and started 30 minutes late. around 1k, i passed another late runner. then i was by myself the next 10k. around 12k mark i started passing slower runners. it was raining almost the whole race. i can take the rain but not the smoke from jeepneys, buses,etc....wet wet wet!! |

wow..9th place. i lov this race. lots of rice field..rice field on the left and rice field on the right. saw lots of carabaos. lots of uphills. some of them are very long nd steep. humid and very HOT! the first 15k was throught the army base.saw lots of soldiers. since yhe race has no aids station(except for a roving army truck every 10-15k), i looked for my own crew. three volunteers..my college friends(anna,aida and ghie). they helped me with water,gatorade,coconut water and esp. ICE!! they drove me from manila to nueva ecija where we stayed for the night and drove me to the starting line @4am. then met me at 10k mark and every 5k. then 30k mark i told them that i need them to be at every 2-2.5k bec. of the heat!! i walk almost half of the race...im a fast walker!!at the finish line i met them again with the RD Sir Jovie(a retired major general). got a free lunch. |

wow...i love this race! lots of uphills, lots of trails(with lots of gravel)....and lots of pineapples!! dark the first 2 hours since we started @ 3:15am. humid and hot. the course is beautiful. ran through small towns with cheering children...through corn plantation and through del monte's pineapple plantation. very organized race. some runners have their own crew(support). but it's not really needed since they have aid station every 5k (and every 2.5k after 30k). they have water, juices, fruits(bananas, and the sweetest pineapple available on earth). some stations have boiled eggs, boiled sweet potatoes and suman(sticky rice dessert). it was 2k longer and the last 2k is straight steep uphills. ill do this race again if i'm in the philippines ....got massages(3x) very cheap...also went to a riverrafting trip the previous day. was treated like a celebrity during the free carboload dinner and during the race and post race party.. |

i kinda pulled my left calf muscle at mile 8. but was ok around mile 9. ran it at an easy pace. and...yes i finished 3rd in my age group (40-49) |

wow what an experience!! my 2nd NM marathon. probably ill do the 50 states again...nope. too expensive. wnating to do this race to honor the wwII veterans. i flew to el paso and drove for 45 miles to white sands missile army base. stayed for two night inside their gym for free. so i brought my sleeping bag and towel. i need to save money. the noise doesnt bother me so i have no problem sleeping there.
the race is kinda hard. the first few miles of sand pit did not bother me. the sand pit at mile 21/22 did...and the strong head wind from mile 8 to 13. hills on those miles too. i love the downhill part before mile 20. i started near the back so i can see all the marchers(thousands of them). i even saw some filipino participants and some marathon maniacs on the course. i ran with my Philippine flag and gave it to a veteran at the finish.
Before heading back to El Paso, i went to see the White Sands National Park. cool. i might to this race again..a must do marathon!! ...and Bataan is pronounce as three syllables..BA-TA-AN!! |

third day of the triple. did 12 laps(about 2.2mile per lap). i ran extra .1 mile, i think. thaks james for showing me the right path. and thanks also for telling me that we're only doing 12 laps( not 13). less than a mile before finishing my 2nd to the last lap, i step on a pine cone(?) and twist me ankle. but luckily i rubbed my magic "katinko"(tiger balm competitor)from manila. the pain went away. when i got to the water stop for my last mile, i was told that my time is 4:20. so i need to run fast to have a 4:38 time....and my finishing is exactly 4:38! my last lap was the fastest of the 12 laps. so for the three day marathon i have a finishing time of 13 hours!! yippee!! now, i have to relax for 2 1/2 months for my next marathon. i need to run my 200th on my birthday in march....it will be the "Run Deo Run 45k and Half". |

*** im registered to run seattle and seattle ghost but airfare way too expensive. so this thanksgiving triple was the replacement. thanks charlie!!..13 marathons in 10 weeks!! yes 7 stars...******* |

J for Jersey Shore. sunny with ocean breeze. almost flat. ran along jersey shore. 43 registered to run the whole 26.2(ironman/ironwoman..with red bib numbers in the 900's) but they listed only 27 finishers. most participants were relay runners. at transition areas relay runners always passed me. i was running with a girl in a relay team the first three-four miles. between three-six miles my lower legs were so tight. i have to stop massge it at some point. i was more relax the second half of the course. the last three miles i passed the runners who passed me the first six miles. also ran just ahead of the team member of the girl i ran with the first four miles.since it was a stagered start, i was the first ironman finisher and was interviewed by a reporter. i was awarded third place and got a certificate, glass and a golden baton. but when i checked the race website i was actually fifth. too bad i already got the goodies!! at least i was in the top five...no finisher's medal. |

no hills, wind, sun and the temperature was perfect. you run 150 laps around the running track. you reverse the direction every 30 mins. 150 laps? it was crazy but i had lots of FUN. the running track is soft. they played music the entire course(i think it stopped for about 5 minutes). i love the music they played. some are 80's. it was held in st. olaf college. beatiful campus. it was an intimate race(only 40 runners). the best pasta feed! the race director and his family and friends were great. this is a must-do marathon. if you're planning to do a marathon from a-z, this is a marathon starting with Z! |

one of the best marathon experience! i ran as elvis. i ran in a sparkling-rainbow elvis running outfit. no chaffing at all. stars were glued to it. some have batteries and they blink too. 200+ elvises ran it. we have to stop at 5.5miles(for 20-30 mins.) to witness the mass wedding of 25 couples. sweet...!! i dnot care about my finishing time. friends met me at the finish line. weather is perfect(a little bit cold).....***note: won the elvis karaoke singing contest. did blue suede shoes..milli vanilli style. my prize: free reg. for next year's race with two nights hotel accomodation at mandalay bay suite...."thank you! thank you very much!" |
