Isip: A letter to the past
I have always tried to live my life with no regrets; and up to this point, I’ve never had regrets that keep me up all night or haunt me in my nightmares and daydreams. However, there are some things that I would have done differently, given the chance. Nothing completely life-changing, but maybe just enough to set me on the right path earlier. So here goes a letter to Past-Me, after all Present-Me has experienced until today.
Takbo: The 3 Stages of Running on my most Brutal 21km
I recently ran my most stressful and life-sapping half-marathon. I don’t know the exact reason why that run was deadlier than the others, but I have never wished to drop dead so many times in a single run. Kidding aside, I really had to dig deep just to finish. And through that run I was able to see some kind of pattern, a system, if you will, in the feelings I was going through. Let’s dig in.

Isip: Off days
We humans aren’t invincible, as much as we want to be :(. There will be days where we won’t be up to our optimal performance, be it in fitness or even just in our daily activities. They can ruin our groove, destroy our momentum, and hold us back from reaching our true potential!

Isip: What do you think about when you run?
Like I said before in my previous running post, the biggest challenge in running is mental. It takes more will-power than muscles to move one leg in front of the other repeatedly for 5 or 10 or 21 or whatever kilometers. I’ve also gotten used to not listening to music while running so it’s mostly just me and the pavement. It gets a little monotonous, so I just think of a lot of stuff.
For kicks, I decided to keep track of the things I think about when I run. Maybe some of you can relate as well.

Isip: Syota = “Short Time,” Not a serious relationship
It’s a slow Saturday at the office so…
I don’t claim to know everything or even a lot about this issue, but I’ve come to believe that most problems that Philippines is facing is caused by the Filipinos’ attitude of always looking at the short term instead of the long term. So prepare for a slightly long article about why we r who we r.
