Everyone did a great job this 2012,  From the start and the end of this year we have many achievements and renewed ourselves, one of the best we had, having a new lifestyle and passion, it is running. Come and join us, let us recall all of the unforgettable memories or experiences since become one of the running enthusiasts in the whole year of 2012. Do you still remember the first running event you've joined this 2012? Your first distance? When was your first that you encountered your first cramps? How about the worst event? Before I forget, how about the shoes you've purchased this year? How many pairs? Each of us has their own stories to be shared in the said questions when it comes to different events we've treasured a lot and events that we are not satisfied.

Takbong Pinoy highlighted the year 2012 because this year running community is more aggressive in different running events and many new runners had time to participate various running events, in fact race event scheduled weekly. There were also new running groups built to support the community none other than running community. Because of the group we had the courage and hope that it's not too late to enter the world of running not because we want to strong and agile running but we run for our healthy lifestyle.

You run because there's a purpose, some of them they run for the additional points in school. :D How about you? You started to run just for fun, for the experience but as time goes by once you meet other running enthusiasts though they are not an elite runner you will encourage to become a serious runner. If at first we are just aiming to finish and cross the finish line, when you see the changes and dedication of your fellow runners you will make a way to do what they are doing to be one of them, not literally the same but still you know what he can do. Aside from finishing the race, running enthusiasts also want to have a good personal time and in every event's goal is to beat their previous record - it's exciting because your best competitor in a race is ourselves, let's keep running.

Nowadays with the help of different organizations they offer free clinic and training to make our runners are knowledgeable in various aspects of running, also had the opportunity to interact with the professional runners, coaches, multi sport enthusiasts to share their experiences, techniques on how they can prevent injuries, to become an effective runner inside and outside of the track. "Let's thank them for guiding us". A great help to the runner and also to their fellow runners where they share their learning. Included for being a serious runner, we also had an interest to join an event with finishers medal, all of us are very particular in this reward - a concrete proof that we conquered the event and one of the best remembrance of all your efforts. Apart from the medals, singlets, etc., we inclined also in different running shoes of various brands to make our running passion injury free. The amazing part in running that I really admire those old fun runners, became serious runners and was most recently became marathoner or more for almost a year - dedication, hope, strength plus GOD, they were able to level up and challenge their capability to run twenty kilometers up barefoot or not, you are all great!

Congratulations to all who crossed and finished the race in all races this 2012! Let's thank 2012 and welcome this new year of fun and journey. Conquer 2013! Make FILIPINO RUNNING COMMUNITY bigger, enjoyable and be proud of.
