"So Far, So Good"

I started blogging about running at Wordpress in October 2007 after reading a runner's blog in the Philippines who started blogging in May 2007. After reading such blog, I was inspired to have my personal blog about my running activities. I tried to recall my past running experiences and I tried my best to document my experiences since I was a cadet at the Philippine Military Academy in the early '70s.

My blog later became as my diary and journal for my preparation for the incoming Pasig River Heritage Marathon which allowed me at least 3 1/2 months of preparation. In between my journal, I tried to research and post in my blog the different school of thoughts and training for long distance running. I am a firm believer of the Lydiard's Method of Running and I am one of the disciples of this kind of training.

However, after 14 months of blogging and running, I am shifting my training towards developing my speed endurance on the oval track with the supervision of IAAF-trained coaches. So far, I am slowly improving my finish times in my road races. With such training, I was surprised to know that I've slowly increased my weekly kilometers covered and developed endurance to my legs and body.

I hope I will be successful in making my finish times faster in my incoming road races.

"I am coming back"

I started "blogging" with Blogger since March 2007 as my way of keeping track of my activities while I was assigned in Western Visayas as a Commander of an Infantry Division of the Philippine Army. However, after I started to seriously train to run a Marathon race, I started blogging my running experiences and training with Wordpress as the Bald Runner.

Now, that I am retired from the military service and enjoying my retirement, I have continously and seriously trained for road and mountain trail running events in Metro Manila as well as in the United States.

My blogsite at www.baldrunner.com with Wordpress is now popular among runners in the Philippines and in other countries. However, due to some technical problems I encounter when posting with Wordpress, I deemed it necessary to have another blogsite with Blogger with the same title and objective of posting anything about running, sports, or any thing I could think of and share to other readers. Thus, I am coming back to Blogger.
