Runner Profile: Jomar Paras

He's not the usual serious runner. This friend of mine is the only runner I know who prefers the knee length board shorts as his regular Training and Racing outfit. He also prefers taho rather than your usual PowerGel pre-race boost. Needless to say he's one of the fastest runners in the HappyFeet line-up.

Although he seems different in a lot of things, he surely plays and enjoys the same game. Training secretly (god knows where!). Follows a top secret personalized training plan. And discretely ups the tempo when you're racing beside him, just for thrills.

Here's my take on Joms....

Hi Ben,
Are you a member of Happy Feet? I'd like to get more information on how to join the group as it seems to be the only active running group around... I would consider myself a beginner/intermediate runner. I'm staying in the Philippines for the next five months and I really don't want to sign up for a gym if all I want to do is run.
Thank you for any info you can give me!
