Before we end this busy, busy month of blogging and races, let me present to you our 3rd Runner’s Profile. Again, allow me to let you know that the purpose of this blog is to share stories of triumph and hopefully learn from others as well. Without further ado, here’s to a strong lady runner.

Additional questions: James: If there is one tip that you want to share to newbie runners what will it be? Mamita: Have fun and enjoy all your runs.
James: What do you do when you are not running? Mamita: Sleep, Bond with my kid and pamper myself: massage, foot spa, parlor thing
James: Do you do any crosstraining? Mamita: Before, I always go to the gym and attend boxing class but since I ventured into multi sports then I have to switch and cross-train for biking and swimming.
JourneyingJames with Mamita at Mt. Makiling Trails
I met Mamita during one of the ANR Alabang Runs at Madrigal Business Park. That’s is why they call me “Baby James,” Mamita is my “mom” in the running scene. I am very much amazed on where Mamita gets all her energies- indeed dedication and discipline to the sports that we love pays off! Congrats Mamita to more of your victories and podium finishes!
This December 19,RUN along the RUINS, HONOR our HEROES, and SETTLE the SCORE at CORREGIDOR.
Be ready to validate all your races this year at the
CORREGIDOR INTERNATIONAL HALF-MARATHON
Run for All, All for Twenty-One.
Hardly would I recommend a race, but Corregidor International Half Marathon (CIHM) is a must-run for all serious runners out there! With only one distance to train for: 21K or Half-Marathon, this surely is every runner’s dream. I recommend this too all runners.
10 Compelling Reasons Why You Should Not Miss CIHM:
We are having FUN out of town
10. Out-of-town race. I love traveling and who’s not? Why trap yourself to ‘common’ race venues. C’mon give your running career a break. Go to Corregidor. Honor our heroes in this historic island by giving your best shot.
The Killer Uphells
9. The Route. 60% paved, 40% trail, 101% challenge plus unforgiving uphills (read as UPHELL). As a fellow blogger, said, this is not for the faint of heart. When we tried some of the race route, I was saying to myself, “Why did I joined this test run?” But hey, it was fun and the scenery was amazing too! Have you seen the Caraballo? If not, register now to CIHM.
Mile Long Barracks
8. The Mile Long Barracks. Oh they say that they see ghosts here. Whether you see them or not, try to run as fast as you can when you pass this marker.
Carbo-Loading Bonfire Party
Solidarity & Victory Party
7. Before and After Partehs. Yes, there are 2 parties: Carbo-Loading Party the night before the race and the Victory Party the night after the race.
Edward Kho leads the test runners
6. The Race Organizer is a Runner himself. I have bad experiences on joining races. The reason behind the failure- the race director/organizer is not a runner. I would assure you that this is a run organized by runners for runners.
5. The Runner’s Backpack. It has a packet for you race bib, running shirt and shorts and your running shoes has its own niche. How cool this backpack is. Imagine everyone boarding the Sun Cruise Ship with uniform bags.
I want those while walking with my VFFs
4. The Running Jersey. So you can’t flaunt your singlet in the mall? Now you have all the bragging rights of finishing not just another HM while wearing this limited jersey. Only 800 runners has this.
Add this Medallion to your Collection
3. The Medal, rather the Medallion. 3 inches in diameter and 10mm thick. But only those who crossed the 10K mark before the cut-off time of 1-hour and 45-min. Those who cannot will be given a 10Km Achievement Medal and will be brought back to the starting line. Train hard and add this to your collection friends!
2. Validate your Progress. This will be a race to validate all your races for the past year. Since the route is a mix of trails, dirt, cement and uphills it will really test what you are really made of as a runner.
1. Make new friends. I love out-of-town races because I get to meet new running friends. The camaraderie, bonding and friendship of runners is something else. I don’t know the exact reason why. Don’t run on your own, make friends and be excited to run at CIHM. See you at Corregidor!
