Iron Kids Today!

Today was special because my Dear Son joined the 1st Alaska Iron Kids, 6-8 age category 1km run, held at the Manila Polo Club. DH and I just want to expose him to love the sport and have fun and we're so glad he did, in spite of his persistent cough these past few days.

I'm so sure the parents are more anxious than the participants! I remember the organizer held out the microphone earlier and his exact words are "Did you see all the ambulances around the area, they're not for the children but for all the nervous parents!" Another time he said "Parents if you are around the field we're not going to start!" I'm guilty as charge.

Here are some pictures for today's event.

Here's Another NY Vendy Post

I learned from Chef Bobby Flay that NY gives out awards for the best food vendors called " The Vendy Awards! Sobrang cool.

Check out all the finalists for 2009. Most importantly look at the food they prepare.

Biryani Cart - Meru Sikder

The King of Falafel - Fares “Freddy” Zeidaies

Rickshaw Dumpling - Kenny Lao

Jamaican Dutchy - O’Neill Reid

The Winner for best NY Vendy for 2009 : Country Boys/Martinez Taco Truck- Fernando & Jolanda Martinez!!

Looks Really Good

I can't wait to try this famous chicken and rice halal food cart at 53rd street and Sixth Ave in New York City.


I'm a sucker for street food, I don't mind what others say about being clean or what.. Although sometimes I get into trouble after eating too much (nausea, LBM hehehe) But it's just so good especially the street food in Jakarta, Hong Kong & Bangkok.

Here's Chef Bobby Flay's recommendation. Looks sooo good!





Soon!! This Summer :)

February Race + Lululemon

I miss blogging. Sorry I've been busy.

This month I'm joining 2 running events.

The Condura 2010 Run For The Dolphins. This event marked my 1st anniversary for my injury. To those who know me, last year's condura run was the worst 'fall' I had encountered for this sport. It was just like yesterday, oh well. I've moved on.

My Bib & DH's Bib. He's doing the 21km Half Marathon.

The loot that comes with our Race Kit. 

And the Century Superbods Run with Coach Rio.

Singlet and the loot from my race kit

Both are well marketed race events and I'm so sure that thousands of runners will be there. I remember 2 years ago when I started joining running events, I'm paying about P200-300 per race. Now they are charging P500-750 per race, depending on the distance. Everyone is joining the bandwagon, which is good for cardio exercise. More sponsors are throwing in money because of good exposure. Running is definitely the new black. 

To yoga fanatics, I'm so sure you know LULULEMON. They have the complete line of apparel for yoga, and running. I think it is one of the best inventions for work-out apparel. I buy my collection on-line and have it shipped to my place. Locally they are available at Aura Athletica in Rockwell Powerplant Mall.

 

Years ago I am not very particular with the "brand" of work-out apparel, I stick to the usual Nike, Adidas etc.  However when I started running more than 5km, I noticed that my tummy (where the garter shorts touches) and between my legs have painful chaffing! When I take my shower it stings really bad. My cousin in law CQC, whose very athletic, introduced me to buy Lululemon.

One of the features was all their clothes have flat seaming.This prevents chafing and irritation caused by bulky seams.

I checked the price on-line and wow, they are pretty expensive. So i bought just one pair of running shorts and compression tights. After I tried it myself.. I'm sold I'm addicted. I started buying all colors, different designs, some newly acquired crops are not in the picture. Admittedly I hoarded, but hey, because I'm active, they are all used and abuse by me, so it was really worth it.

I hope Lululemon Management gets to read my post, I've been raving it to my friends how I love it! I don't mind them sending me 'samples'; 'broken sizes' hehehe...

Now back to training.
