Running in My Saucony Guide 5

A lot were asking me about my new running shoes.  And a lot were also saying that it's the first time they heard of the brand.  Honestly, if I had not been into running, my brand vocabulary would be limited to Adidas and Nike.  Between, the two, I would always go for Adidas in a heartbeat.  That's just me.  I have nothing against the other one and might actually try it sometime.  

As a running enthusiast, I believe it is also good to test out other running shoe brands.  So I am starting out with Saucony.  In the future, I'd like to have my feet in a pair of Asics, Mizuno, Merrell, and Skora.  But that's getting ahead of myself, and my budget hahaha!

Running in the Rain

Running in the rain

Sunday morning was really humid. I have not started running and I already felt warm, the kind that makes you feel sticky and queasy. As we were walking towards Quirino Grandstand where we usually jog, I was already thinking I wouldn't last 30 minutes of jogging because the heat is making me tired already. Summer has really come...or so I thought.

Of Run United, Riovana and Finding the Right Running Shoes

A couple of weeks ago, we were already deliberating what running event we were going to sign up for. As I've mentioned after the PhilHealth run, it's either the Run United on the 17th or the OFW run on the 24th.  I wish we could run in both, but it's going to be a bit costly with the registration fees.  

We decided on Run United, so went to Riovana at Bonifacio Global City to register.  It was a long way off from our place and we could have registered online but we wanted to be able to fit the singlets and not wear over sized singlets as what happened with our recent run.  We also wanted to check out Coach Rio's store and scout for some running gears.  

Join the Running Revolution With Adidas Energy Boost

Since I was a kid, I've always loved the freedom of running.  I may not be one of the fastest runners in school, but I don't lag behind so much.  I am more of a sprinter actually.  I can do short bursts of runs.  It is only the middle of last year that I tried long distance running.  Well, 5K is already long distance for someone who is used to short bursts of speed and who has had a knee injury a decade ago.  It was that knee injury that actually made me stop running for a while.  

Going back to running, what's the craziest thing I've done to boost my run?
