Knowledge Channel's Run for Knowledge 2010

Knowledge Channel Foundation Inc. (KCFI) launches KaRUNungan 2010, which aims to help generate awareness and support for the continued resource and learning gaps in the Philippine education system. The funds it will raise through this campaign will be used to produce instructional shows in English, Science and Math, using "virtual" teachers on air. KCFI wishes to help the majority of elementary and high school students, who are still unable to attain adequate mastery of their lessons.

Through KaRUNungan 2010 and various running events, KCFI enjoins the growing
Filipino community of runners to champion the cause of Philippine education, and give Filipino students their second wind that will help them reach the finish line. As KaRUNungan 2010's theme says, "Every Learner, A Finisher."

Karunungan 2010 Manila will be held on November 28 at the Meralco Compound in Ortigas. A total of 5,000 runners are expected to join the event.

Sidebar on NY:

Runners taking part in the ING New York City Marathon 2010 can go the extra mile by dedicating their run to helping marginalized public school students. They can do this by asking friends and supporters to donate $1 for every kilometer they reach on November 7.

Why Do I Run, Again?

Not that I stopped running. I'm just thinking, why I started.

You see, I'm not really much of a runner. My built is not that of a runner. I have big calves which I don't see on fast runners.

Well, I walk fast. That's it.

So, why did I start running? To lose weight. Period.

If I can be a fast runner in the process while losing weight then it'll be a plus.

Why do you run again?

Bring It!

Tired of the monotonous flat roads during races? Why not try mixing it up with obstacles...

Oh.. so you've already tried it with the wall, hurdles and low crawl?

Okay, then let's throw in a scaffolding maze...

darn it!!! who farted!!!

a balance beam...

but you have to agree, that's one cute cat... =p

and a tire dump...

i farted!!! woohoo!!!

Easy? Nice! Then join The Men’s Health Urbanathlon which will be held on November 7, 2010, Sunday, 5:00 A.M. at Bonifacio Global City (BGC), Taguig City.

Last... take a wild guess on who's going to Marshall this event. Ye Yeah!!!

We Didn't Start The Fire

Yup, we never did.

But many of us helped keep the fire burning.

Now, the fire starter seems out of sight.

Da hu? Sorry, I can't say.

People close to me might have an idea.

But i'm not telling.

I'll treat this as a Note To Self post...

Let's keep running.

Let's keep our own fire burning...

Bakit Kami Malayo Tumakbo?

Ilang beses ko na narinig ang tanong na iyan

Di ko alam kung kayo ay nasisiyahan

Alam ko na mabilis kayong tumakbo

Kitang-kita naman sa listahang ginawa nyo

Pero, kaya mo bang sumabay sa amin?

Try mo lang... Tignan natin kung iyong kakayanin.

Siguro akala mo kami'y mayayabang

Hindi po, ang mga pangyayari ay nagkataon lamang

Nagkataon lamang na mas masaya kaming tumakbo ng malayo

Kaysa sa makipaghabulan sa oras at makipagmabilisan sa maraming tao

Kami ay natutuwa sa narating ng bilis ninyo

Baka pwedeng matuwa din kayo

Sa amin na malayo ang tinatakbo

Hindi kami nakikipag unahan kanino man

Hindi rin naman kami nakikipag-paligsahan

Ang aming mga sarili ang aming kalaban

Kaya, utang na loob walang pakialaman

Pero, bakit nga ba maikli lang ang iyong tinatakbo?

Ikaw ba ay natatakot sa mahaba, at baka ito'y di makayanan mo?

Huwag kang mag-alala pag iyong sinubukan

Kami ay laging nasa paligid at handa kang tulungan

Hindi naman kami mga suplado

Kami ay handang tumulong, nakita mo na ba kung paano?

Tara na, sa amin ay sumama

Alam kong gusto mo din, kaya't tama na ang drama

*Bow... aytenkyu...

2nd QCIM - It's ON!!!

Paging Team Boring, Marga and her pacers (parang banda lang =D), and Marathon runner wannabes... This is it!!!

Start training, NOW!!!
