where to run

bitten by the running bug? some suggestions on where to run in the metro.

1) bonifacio high street
this is my default running venue. i usually run around the 1.2 km outer ring of bonifacio high street. and i suggest you do it late at night or really early in the morning because it can get crowded.


2) mckinley hill
if you want a challenging route, try mckinley hill. the downhill and uphill parts can be a pain. i don't mind it though. like they say, no pain no gain.


3) ayala triangle gardens
this is my fav lately... it's not just the closest from my apartment, the xmas lights and decors are beautiful. i get senti and teary-eyed sometimes by just looking at them. haha. boo.


4) ateneo de manila
i like running in ateneo because of the towering trees and lush greenery. it's a completely different experience compared to running at the fort or around makati cbd.


5) up sunken garden oval
the up sunken garden oval is around 2.2 km and has one lane dedicated for bikers and runners. and i've heard that the whole road is closed to motorized vehicles on sundays. 20 sticks of pork or chicken isaw after a 10K run is enough motivation.
