     Running does make your muscles, especially those on the legs, tight. It's undeniable since you can definitely feel it...in all parts. The more I pushed myself to do better in running, the lesser my flexibility got. I don't know about you guys but I recall not being able to do a monkey split or plow just two months after training. Now it's been more than a year and I'm back to square one in my yoga practice.      There is this annoying back pain I've been telling you about, right? It got worse from all the sitting I've been doing at work. Hello flat  butt! What better way to relieve that than by doing yoga. It never fails. Without hesitation, I grabbed my beloved mat and headed to YogaHub in Raintree Mall. Namastayyyy chill! (c) Yoga Hub      Who doesn't love discounts? lucky me! (c) Yoga Hub      What perfect time it was because they had a 50% discount on all walk in students. Yay! And t...

     Greetings from this side of the super toned gastrocnemius! Guess what everyone? I have reached 1,000 kilometers on Nike! I've never been so happy because it almost felt like forever. Before I knew it, I was at 900+ kilometers last week.      On other news, Cebu Marathon's early bird registration has been extended until November 15. This'll be my second time to join and I'm so dang psyched for it! To the people who feel like giving up on running just because you are not seeing the results yet...I say, go and run. Because good and beautiful things take time. If you've been running for miles and miles and are up for the challenge (of beating your time, that is) I strongly and wholeheartedly encourage you to join.      I started running in 2011 and I can't even remember the brand of the first pair of shoes I wore! I thought Sketchers was best thing ever. I had no gear, no belt bags whatsoever. I simply ran and joined my first ...

     We had our first fun run after ages! The last run we did together was four years ago. Even since Lawrence got injured, we weren't able to do so anymore...until last week when we joined Wipro Run 2016. Let me just say how happy and proud I am that we crossed the finish line together! 5k done! happy faces! Can you tell how hungry yet joyful we were because of the free food?   Hit the road running!:)

     Let's face it. Running has become a fad these days with people raging the streets at dawn, training on the track in afternoons, and of course who can forget posting photos on social media about the awesome post-run feeling they have (I so can relate)... and the list just goes on. But why run? Even as an amateur runner, people have asked me what is it about running that I love. Trust me, it's not only for what we call "body goals."      I've listed down my top 5 reasons for running...and I hope this convinces you to get those kicks on and be up for the challenge as well! 1. It's Cheap. Yep. THAT IS--- If you're just starting to run, you don't need all those fancy shmancy gear. Just buy a good pair of shoes and you're good to go. I slowly upgraded by buying a belt bag to put my phones in and recently, I have just bought a bluetooth headset. I'm saving for a new pair of compression leggings but what my boyfriend give me still does the jo...

For anyone who loves running, Nike Run is the app for you. I've been using this to track my runs since last year! The best thing about it is that you get to have people, who also have a love for running, in your circle. Aside from that, you can also do speed runs, time runs and the like. If you haven't started running, go and just do it! My Nike  Run+ ID: mitsuemartin See you in the stats!
