I do also share your views that organizers look and listen to reviews that matter for sport improvement. Well said. Thanks for the regular visit looking forward to meet you on one of the races.<br /><br />Dear Runbug - I liked what you said "BHS with well dressed-up people alongside puffing and sweating runners". Yes indeed that "garbage truck" was a problem.<br /><br />Dear Anonymous - Same thing as you said the garbage truck and of course the angry motorists. I think a lot of motorist got annoyed with us runners for creating a traffic they did not expect on a Saturday night. This will be an ongoing problem with motorist who just could not appreciate the invasion of the streets by runners. Organizers still haveto find a solution to this delicate problem.Amado L.

I dont know whe...This was truly one for the books!<br /><br />I dont know whether it was the absence of the early Sunday morning drag for the guys or the presence of Marc Nelson for the girls, but the "high" was there even before the gunstart!The concept and vibe of the Urbanite is really something we can look forward to again! Funny seing BHS with well dressed-up people along side puffing and sweating runners.<br /><br />Some notes on the route: Hell!! <br /><br />Id be amazed someone pr-ing this one with all the inclines, big crowds and darkness the whole way through..not to mention that darn garbage truck/ mobile convoy at Mckinely! But i sure would want to run that route again!Runbugnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158358649027877513.post-1457707930278411772009-08-16T14:27:30.406+08:002009-08-16T14:27:30.406+08:00Hi Mr. Castro,
Congratulations for your nth race ...Hi Mr. Castro,<br /><br />Congratulations for your nth race and another good post!<br /><br />I too, am noticing many are really becoming enthusiastic about the sport. <br /><br />Runners bringing friends, co-workers and family who eventually get hooked on the running bug. As a result, a "people power" atmosphere produced by the multitude of runners! <br /><br />I just hope the organizers look (and listen to reviews that matter) to make the races safe for the growing number of participants, over and above other interests. This will ultimately help the sport grow nationwide (not only in MetroManila)<br /><br />I hope to meet you in one of these future road races and tell you personally how I enjoy reading your blog.<br /><br />More power to you sir!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
