Second Wind: October 2013
http://caloybsecondwind.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Just another running blog by just another runner. Monday, October 14, 2013. A bittersweet 37th Milo Marathon Davao Elimination Race. I went into the 37th Milo Marathon Davao 21K Elimination Race last Sunday, October 13, hoping for only one thing - break my personal best for the distance. While I was having doubts I would, given the circumstances I am in now in comparison to 2011, I still harbored the thought. Dreaming was free after all. I couldn't say I wasn't prepared. I trained, putting in running...

Second Wind: April 2015

Just another running blog by just another runner. Friday, April 03, 2015. One moment in a run. One moment in a run. Life mirrored in a split-second event. You stumble, you fall, you get back up and go on. It was my 10th straight day of running. I decided to go out on a 10k loop of dirt road and short pavement close to home. I have run there countless times before I moved to another locale because of work some three years ago. It was the first time I was running that loop again. The important thing is we ...

Second Wind: March 2015

Just another running blog by just another runner. Thursday, March 19, 2015. A bit before 5 in the morning, I woke up, went through my usual pre-run routine, slipped my feet into my old, trusty pair of Nike Free 3.0 , and laced up. My roommate for the seminar, who was also getting ready for his own run, looked at me in surprise and asked me: "You're running in that? In Baguio's cold morning air? I was in my usual get-up of blue short shorts and white singlet. I just smiled. Going back up, I noticed I was ...

Second Wind: February 2015
http://caloybsecondwind.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Just another running blog by just another runner. Thursday, February 19, 2015. Running has always been my go to activity when I need to think of something to write about. Running helps clear the mind and allows the flow of ideas. It works for me. It indeed would have been a spectacle to see, and a memorable moment one would cherish to be part of. I remembered hearing a participant of the People's Fact-Finding Mission in Mamasapano share some of their findings during the tow-day data-gathering activity.

Second Wind: May 2015

Just another running blog by just another runner. Saturday, May 09, 2015. After running 15 kilometers over rolling terrain, you get tired. I would say it's the same for all runners, newbie or seasoned. Your legs get battered from all the pounding and get exhausted. I can feel the exhaustion everytime I picked up the pace. There was no pain, nothing like it, but there was fatigue that made my legs feel heavy. There was no smoothness in the stride. There was labor in each step. But after you have finished ...

Second Wind: January 2013

Just another running blog by just another runner. Tuesday, January 01, 2013. Less is still something. Things happen in life that just change our usual routines. That was what the metatarsal stress fracture on my right foot did early this year. It was another 4 weeks before I started a walk-to-run routine. Another event changed my usual routine in June. My training skeds got disrupted as well. As a result, I had to give up some races. I didn't do the two main races which I had been doing almost ye...The t...

Second Wind: September 2014

Just another running blog by just another runner. Monday, September 22, 2014. The girl who runs in black. She is one of those numerous runners out there, not much known for their regular road pounding just because they are not so vocal about it like others are. She has no pictures of her runs. She has no posts about her times or the kilometers she had put in on any social networking site. But she runs, as often as she can, at night after office hours. I for one find inspiration in stories like this, in t...
