Last Sunday, August 12, I finally got to run again after 21 days without running.  I ran at Camp Aguinaldo with my fellow 83nean runners:  Ernie Badong, Ed Balcueva, Bob Castilla, Ruben “Fards” Fajardo and Noel Guevara.  Joining us, too, on that Sunday morning was Art Puncia who biked around the military camp.

THE RUNNER’S WORLD BIG BOOK OF MARATHON AND HALF-MARATHON TRAINING

It is written by four very accomplished runners who are connected with Runner’s World, the leading running magazine in the world.
