my first real running shoes


call it retail therapy...

today i finally bought my first real running shoes, an ASICS Gel-Kayano 16. but before that i first went to runclub for my gait analysis..

RESULT: heel-striker with over pronation

Pronation is natural inward rolling movement of your foot as it starts to support your body weight.

so, i need a pair of shoes on the STABILITY line then...

i'm way to out of budget but what the heck?! these new babies will somewhat make me feel good and besides i'll be using them on my future runs...






on sunday will be your first run Kayano. sleep tight cos it will be your first 10K run when you wake up. only first 200 finishers will get medals, so please help me with that.

Twenty Seven


today is no work day.

as usual i spent my day off from work at home pinning myself infront of my lappy. i had a blast talking to rhodora, ghedi and jpflo. we were talking about life and love, love, love the whole time. it definitely made me miss ghedi times = billiards, movies and food trips (mostly unplanned!)

here are some of the winney lines that day:

"funny thing is not once have you sounded really angry."

"but everyone has a breaking point and you seem to be making excuses not to reach it... i think you are trying to delay it by making excuses.."

"there is no excuse for lack of courtesy to someone you supposedly care about...it's like your parents when you come home late from a curfew and they pagalitan ka kase di ka tumawag. it's not about you coming home late, it's sometimes about the courtesy of just telling them you're ok."

"how loud do you have to scream til you lose your voice?hmmmm... i wonder"


i really had fun talking to you guys. thanks and i think we should do this more often. i am so much of a love-believer/keeper kind. it may not show on the way i look but all those who know me well will surely agree. "it aint over til it's over!" is my all-time love mantra. if it still makes you happy and then go. if things don't go well as you planned, then be it. those memories made you happy at some point of your life so how would that be a waste of time? besides, are you just going to let go without putting up a fight? (just saying.. or maybe just another excuse?lol) what's the best time to give up then? i think if you wake up one morning feeling nothing, then that's it.. GAME OVER!

moving forward. i decided to watch Johnny English that afternoon, that's after buying my running shoes (call it super expensive therapy!lol) it took me several hours before i finally got a hold of my first real running shoes and i guess another hour waiting for patty who had to extend a few minutes at work. so in short, i missed Johnny English .. but i had a great chitchat dinner with patty though.. i will have a separate entry for my Asics so as not to flood everything here.. lol

so it's a dinner date with patty. and since we both love japanese foods, we ended up dining at Red Kimono-Abreeza. our second... but this time we got a whole maki platter to ourselves.. yumyum!

our YASAI ITAME....


and of course our MAKI SAMPLER!


we left the place really late and we hit Chicco de Cafe afterwards. i had nothing, patty had her coffee.. we checked on some mags on the rack and came across this picture. i just couldn't help but take a picture of it. lol
