Milo National Marathon Manila Leg on July 26, 2015

My 5th full marathon distance (42.195km) in 5 years at the 39th Milo National Marathon held last July 26, 2015.

The route was revised compared to the previous years 42K route, the Kalayaan flyover to BGC and McKinley was excluded, instead 42K runners did a two loops at the Roxas Boulevar-Coastal area.

I attempted to hit sub5 finish but was not able to do so and settled for a 5:07 finish, 5 minutes slower than my last year's Milo Marathon. This is due to minimal training and long hibernation prior to the race.

One sad thing for this year's Milo Marathon Manila leg is that another runner died. Let's all be safe especially when running long distance.

Time to recover and see you on the road!

My Newest Road Buddy: Asics GT-2000 2

Since I started running by year 2010, I have already accumulated several running shoes. At average, I have replaced shoes in a yearly basis or at average 600 Kms mileage per shoe.

My newest running buddy is an ASICS GT-2000 2. This is also my first pair of Asics running shoes as I have been using New Balance for the past three years.

Moreover, my new pair of running shoes also offered me FREE registration to  the 2015 Condura Skyway Marathon.

From October 2014 to date, my Asics shoes already accumulated 350 kms and counting.

My running shoes list as follows:

Year 2010 - Adidas Duramo
Year 2011 - New Balance 770
Year 2012 - New Balance 860 v2
Year 2013 - New Balance 1260 v2
Year 2014 - Asics GT-2000 2
Year 2015 - Hmm probably Asics again

Keep running!
