Condura Run 2009 Feature @ Philippine Star

Have you scored a copy of today’s Philippine Star newspaper? If none yet,  I suggest you make a dash to the nearest convenience store and try to check if copies are still available.

Tanya's Crazy Quilt article

our group pic with Pat and Mabu Concepcion is there too! 😉

Today’s issue, particularly of the Lifestyle section, features an article about the just-concluded Condura Run 2009 by lifestyle columnist, runner and dear friend, Ms. Tanya Lara. The article is complete with race photos and comes with the previously announced Race results. Yep folks! Race results for all distances are printed at the newspaper as promised. NYEK! My slow 21k finish is for the whole nation to see!

21k Race Results covered one whole page

The Condura 2009’s Philippine Star article can be found in the Sunday Lifestyle’s K Section covering six pages. Wasn’t able to get hold of a copy? You can still get to read the article and view some of the pictures by accessing the online article. Click here to go there.

Afternoon Bike Ride at Maarat

Best bud Pol and I had a short bike ride at Maarat. Why short? Because as if in a foot race, I DNFed! My first biking DNF. I wasn’t able to finish the whole trail because at one point as we near the place bikers call Giant, I was already heavily panting and I just gave up.

This is my first time to ride in Maarat and I will say that I may not have prepared myself well for the ride. I was not in 100 percent okay shape. Hay! It should have been my pre-birthday “padjak”. Well… There are regrets but there were more lessons learned. I still had fun though, because the trail that we were able to cover were good and challenging. I have already made a mental note that I will be back there and will be ready for it.

Thanks to Pol for this ride. Maarat, I’ll be back!

Greenfield City Run – April 19

Missed the fun at the Condura 2009 Half? Or are you looking for another half marathon to run in to make up for a not so satisfying Condura half finish? Tired of joining races covering the same race routes? Are you itching for another race that can awaken the running spirit within you?

Maybe the Greenfield City Run is what’s best for you. This Finishline-organized race which will happen on April 19, will have the regular race distances of 2k, 5k, 10k and as an added bonus, a 21k. That’s another half marathon race distance three weeks after the euphoria over Condura has died down. What’s best, the race venue will be at Greenfield City, Sta. Rosa, Laguna. So folks, this is one out-of-town race which doesn’t come by us every so often.

Hey if that still doesn’t interest you, the event also has lots of fun activities scheduled for the day. You can opt to bring the whole family to enjoy in this event. There’s a coffee and pastry fair, weekend market, outdoor outlet bazaar (woohoo, I AM EXCITED ALREADY!), and a children’s play area.

View the pics below to get an idea of what Greenfield City has instore for all of us. Start training peeps!
