The Human Race....
Ok so NIKE's come up with a bigger version of our little Virtual Run. :)You too can participate by either running in the 25 cities with the actual race. Or you can opt to register yourself for the virtual race.
:::::::: BUT WAIT...... THERE'S MORE!!!! :::::::::
Our good friends from Nike Philippines together with Top Race Organizer Rio Dela Cruz will be coming out with an actual race where we can all run the 10km distance.
Ok so what's the catch??? In order to log your miles(km) on race day. You need either the Nike SportBand or Nike+iPod kit. Register on Nike's website and just log your run on race day. :) Simple ey!?
:::::::::::::::::: AND, MORE!!!! :::::::::::::::::::::
Nike Philippines is good enough to give away 5 Nike Sport Band Kit to 5 lucky PhotographerOnTheRun.com readers.
- shoes not included -Share with me your running story.
In as short as 5 images, tell me your story.
It doesn't matter if you use a nifty Point and Shoot camera or a Professional Camera. All I'm after is your story, and how you present it. :)
Send your stories to benov20@yahoo.com
and please rename the images chronologically.

Training.... trail race... photography...
Well most of my time now is devoted on either meeting up with clients, prospective clients, or client friends. :P This is what I get for pursuing my dream. (in bold letters read.... I AM NOT COMPLAINING)
Training....
Got myself back in good training for 2 weeks now. I got my track sessions going. Well I'm back to square 1 that is. But again, it's all good. My right quad gave up on me the other week when i did a short 100m intervals. All my friends laughed at me while I was sitting my sorry @ss on the corner of the track. I guess I was pushing it too far too soon again.
Got my long run sessions going too. Im back at 1:20hrs steady. And for my afternoon light session I gots myself a new training partner... Thanks Aljo for the good company! :)
Trail race.....
I spent last Sunday in Tagaytay. Coach Joar and I braved the early hours of Sunday with little or no sleep at all just to get to the starting point of TNF's first ever trail race.
Ok so here's my take on that race:
- Finally there's a good trail race in Manila!
- That was a really challenging course. And a very good one!
- Hydration was well taken care of every 3km along the 10km loop. (thanks to RUSH)
- The view was fantastic! (not that I had the time to enjoy it)
- Perfect weather!
- and I saw some boiled sweet potatoes and corn on one of the aid stations. COOL!!!
now here's what could have been done better....
- Race packets should have been distributed days before the race. In our group(happyFeet) we help out with members registration. But raceday bib collection isn't really a good idea. This statement is backed up by more than a year's worth of experience.
- With the first reason came the second bad thing with the race. Please START ON TIME. When I registered I was told to be on site at 3am for bib collection since the race would start at 5am. Guess what time we started????? 6:48am! Good thing the weather cooperated and gave us a really gloomy and cool weather for the entire race.
But then again..... I'm still glad that trail race events will be part of our regular race schedule. It's a very good break from all the road races.
Photography......
I recently finished a series of sports photos. And it's lined up for a small exhibit. That is if it pushes through. :) (crossing my fingers really hard)

I also got myself a new cam setup. Nostalgic love affair with the large format system adopted to my current DSLR system. Now I'm really having fun with all the table top shoots that I do. Watch out for my soon to be up website. :)
thank you REGIE for the photo and CUZI for making me look beautiful :P

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....

Long absence...... Training Restart.......
I haven't had a good run logged for almost 2 weeks. Since after the fuego race, I was swamped with work that I had little or no time at all to grab for a quiet or should I say heartbreaking training run.
Yesterday though I told myself I had enough! I had to run! I was cranky already and I feel that my creative juices are just simply slipping down the drain. Luckily, I didn't have to train alone. I tagged along Rio and the Ellis' recovery session. Whew! Good thing it was a recovery session..... For them recovery for a hard race and training and for me it was a recovery from doing nothing.
I'm hoping for a good restart week easing up on the training to avoid any injury delays again. :)
Hope to see you all on the next race. Prepping up for another 5km fast one on the 13th.

Mizuno Punta Fuego Race 2008
It's been a while..... Been really busy with the other stuff I love to do. Haven't had the pleasure of training properly lately. But this race was just too good to pass.
Luckily I was still able to snag 1st place for the 5km event at a very disappointing finish time (I hope coach doesn't find out about my current finish time)
Notice on one of the shot, I was wearing my trainers (Wave Creation9, yes that same huge thing behind the runners :P) Yes, I raced with my trainers. Reminder to self..... Please do not do this again. Specially now that I have a new pair or racing flats on the way (remember 1st place! hehehehe)
The course was hilly. But the picturesque scenes well made up for the heartbreak moments. :)
I hope to be back in good shape for the next Mizuno Race on the 29th. Hope to see you all there!
