The Pink Sand Beach of Zamboanga City - Sta Cruz Island
Out of town races makes me excited. It gives me the privilege to wander around places I've never been to or revisit places I'm already familiar with, all the while humbling myself in the heights of the mountains.

Zamboanga Mountain Ultra Marathon
Endured and enjoyed ZMUM. Not too bad for my first!
Standing there before the starting mark was quite exciting.

Mapawa Trail Marathon: A Race To Remember

Two months ago, I was only doing my usual routine - heat training, uphill training and long slow distance workouts in CDO uptown. Those days were a mix of exciting and agitating emotions given that the farthest distance I've run thus far is 32km. So part of my training is to improve ment…
