One goal achieved.
Another one almost within reach!

12 kilometers at JCO Run 2026.

The original plan? Break 50 minutes for the first 10K, then ease off for the remaining 2K.

With kuya Allen Navarra pacing me, we blitzed through the pack, holding a steady 4:20–4:30/km pace. Everything was clicking, and for the first time, that sub-50 10K goal was finally within reach.

And we got it done!

Apparently, my legs weren't the only ones chasing a goal that morning. 😂

With sub-50 secured, a new target came into sight: sub-1 hour for 12K.

Then came kilometer 11.

A nasty right-side stitch forced me to back off and recover. Maybe eating donuts mid-run wasn't my brightest decision. Priorities, right? 🍩😂

The sub-1-hour finish would have to wait.

Still, I crossed the finish line at 1:02:43 for the full 12K.

Huge thanks to Kuya Ramsel Roy Monsobre for sponsoring my race kit and to Kuya Allen or pacing me through those kilometers. Grateful to have runners like you in the KKSOT fam!

One milestone unlocked. One more lesson learned.

Next stop: Garmin Run, October 25.

Sub-50 is no longer just a goal. Now, let's see how much further I can push.

The chase continues!

“Cut.”
“Inner.”
“Outer.”

Three words.

That's practically how I spent 21 kilometers last Sunday.

But let's rewind.

The day before the race, I was in Antipolo celebrating with my wife, kids, and her close friends. We eventually headed back to Manila and, because apparently that wasn't enough activity for the day, ended up playing billiards until 1:30 AM.

Got home. Quick cold shower.

Then out the door again at 2:00 AM for a 3:00 AM gun start.
Because this time, I wasn't running for a PR.

I was pacing someone else.

It was my first time pacing someone in an official race, and I came in with one objective:

Get Alec across that finish line under 2:30.

I had the race mapped out in my head where we'd maintain, where we'd pick it up, when we'd settle, and when we'd push.

And throughout those 21 kilometers, I only really needed three instructions.

"Cut.” Chase the next pack ahead.

“Inner.” Get closer to the sidelines.

“Outer.” Move toward the boundary of the cones.

Simple word but behind every instruction was the same goal: Keep moving forward.

At every hydration station, I'd grab ice and water, making sure he stayed cool and didn't overheat.

Then came the final few kilometers. I could see it.
He was struggling. The pace was getting harder to maintain. The temptation to slow down or walk was there.

But I knew we were close.
And I knew he could finish.
So I kept reminding him:

“Kaya mo 'to. Sub-2:30, Alec!”

Then came the final turn. I reminded him of his interval training. Everything he'd done in preparation for this moment.

“Bigay mo na lahat. Huwag ka na magtira. Ayan na 'yung finish line!”

And he did. He gritted his teeth, gave whatever he had left, and blitzed through that finish line without stopping.

21K — 2:26:13.

Goal: Sub-2:30.
Result: DONE.

This was my first time pacing someone in an official race, and honestly, it was a completely different experience from chasing my own time.

You don't get to think about your own pace.
You think about the person beside you.

You watch their breathing.
You watch their stride.
You watch the clock.
You watch the road.

And somehow, when they cross that finish line, you feel like you finished it with them.

AJL.works , I'm proud of you, brother!
You trained for this.
You fought for this.
And you earned it.

Congratulations! Half-Marathoner ka na! 🏃‍♂️

Grateful to have been invited by the President of Nurses Toastmasters Club, a Smedley Distinguished Club, to contribute to one of their Toastmasters sessions.

Being invited beyond my home club is always an opportunity I value not only to share what I have learned, but also to learn from fellow Toastmasters, exchange perspectives, and build meaningful connections across clubs.

I am truly honored to receive this Certificate of Appreciation and grateful for the trust extended to me.

Moments like this remind me that Toastmasters is more than a platform for improving public speaking. It is a community where opportunities to speak can lead to opportunities to connect, collaborate, and grow together.

Thank you, Nurses Toastmasters Club, for the warm invitation and for allowing me to be part of your journey.

Let's see how Cocoy Bagunu tricked Carla Marie Navarro with the pace here at Rizal Oval.

4:30 pace "daw" pero 4:15 naman talaga. Typical kuya Cocoy, hahahaha!

Speed session as well with my best friend, Alec Lim of AJL.works. Ako naman mangbubudol sa pace sa Garmin Run. Lol.

Session for today.

400 x 5 with 1:30 seconds rest.
100 x 10 with 30 seconds rest.

Looking forward to breaking that sub-50 10K!

Run your birthday!
That's the challenge.

If you're turning 43, you run 43 kilometers.
And since it's Kuya Cocoy Bagunu 43rd birthday, there was only one thing to do:

Run 43K. 🫡

Me?
I signed up for 15K. 😂

Joined Kuya Cocoy's birthday run at the University of the Philippines, running alongside the Batasan Runners, an absolute squad of elite runners who made my 15K feel like I accidentally joined the wrong group chat.

But that's exactly why I enjoyed it.

15 kilometers of running, chasing the pace, taking in the UP roads, and sharing the miles with some seriously strong runners.

Meanwhile, Kuya Cocoy was out there completing his 43K birthday challenge.

Different distances. Same reason.

Run. Celebrate. Share the miles.

Happy birthday, Kuya Cocoy! Thank you for letting me be part of the celebration. Here's to another year of running, more miles, and definitely more crazy birthday challenges.

43K for 43.
15K for me.
100% worth showing up.
