St. Peter Life Run perfectly defines a FUN RUN
by Cheryl Golangco on Oct 25th, 2010
Last October 24, 2010, most runners I knew opted to register for the Adidas King of the Road Challenge. I on the other hand ran the St. Peter Life Run. I honestly wanted to join the King of the Road, but I just thought the price was too expensive. Imagine paying 850 pesos to run? This was just way over budget for me! It felt more as if you were paying for the singlet/the brand. Meanwhile, the St. Peter Life Run only cost 50 pesos! That's an 800 p...

Run for Knowledge: Karunungan Manila 2010
by Cheryl Golangco on Oct 21st, 2010
I am a teacher myself, I understand how important it is for children to be able to receive a proper education. Though I still think that nothing compares to being inside the actual classroom, the Knowledge Channel helps reach out to those who are unable to pay for a proper education. The Knowledge Channel has already helped several children gain the much needed skills they need through their educational and interactive lessons with the virtual te...

by Cheryl Golangco on Sep 11th, 2010
This is just about the cheapest marathon yet! Can you guess how much?
Okay, so before I tell you the price... let me first tell you the details of the run. The St. Peter Life Run will simultaneously start on OCTOBER 24, 2010 in 3 different locations namely Tiendesitas (Manila), Cebu Ayala Terraces (Cebu) and Victoria Plaza Mall (Davao). Running in Tiendesitas will surely provide a new experience for the runners!

Miles for Smiles: Our Victorious Results
by Cheryl Golangco on Aug 22nd, 2010
After a month of waiting... the day of the race finally arrived! A month ago, I remember asking everyone I knew if they wanted to join my running team! You see, participating in the run as a team would automatically sponsor the cleft operation of one child! I wanted to be a part of that! It was difficult finding my 9 team mates because of the distance we had to run and the price we had to pay. Running as a team was 15,000 pesos (1,500 each) for 1...

Run to Read: Results of my first 10km run
by Cheryl Golangco on Aug 17th, 2010
Last Aug. 15, I ran my first 10k marathon! I originally wanted to sign up for the 5k run (as I always do) but unfortunately, I was told that there were no more slots! Hence, my fiancè took it a challenge and registered us both for the 10k run! My initial reaction: "OMG?! WTF! I'm gonna die!" And of course, he had to slap me back to sanity!.... but seriously, I was nervous.

Philippe (my fiancè) and I registered for the run...

Run for a Cause this August!
by Cheryl Golangco on Aug 1st, 2010
There are several fun runs to look forward to this month of August! As for me, I try to make it a habit of joining at least 2 fun runs every month! I would join more but I don't have enough money to spend too much! I'll try to upload a list of races per month as soon as I can, for the meantime however, you can also try checking out takbo.ph
This August, I decided to join 2 fun runs. One of which I've already mentioned in the past. This would b...

Miles for Smiles: Running for a Difference
by Cheryl Golangco on Jul 24th, 2010
Just a few weeks ago, I was surfing the net looking for a run for this coming August. There were two fun runs that I was eying. Unsure though which I wanted to join.
2 weeks ago during the Robinson's Fit and Fun Buddy Run, I was handed a flier for the Miles for Smiles fun run. I started reading and slowly it gained my interest. I spotted a category for groups. I never tried running in a group, but this run made me want to try it! Running in a ...
