  2. I was with Team 7-Eleven Philippines and Jeff Lo during the Phuket Marathon. Read the extended cut of the story and my own experience running the 10.5k here: https://theroguerebel.wordpress.com/2016/06/14/paradise-revisited-and-reconquered-11th-laguna-phuket-international-marathon/

  3. sa totoo lang there’s a lot of faster runner here in our country kaso nga lang yung iba hinde nabibigyan ng pagkakataon makasali sa mga running event dahil sa kulang ang pang registration, pero salamat na rin sa PINOY FITNESS at TAKBO PH nakikita ng mga coaches ang mga tunay na athlete
