Joy Rojas, the Philippine’s best female ultrarunner will attempt to run 5,000 kilometers across the United States in 120 days… Just thinking about running a full marathon gives me the goose bumps! And I mean it in a good way! What more running across the United States from the West coast to the East coast just gives me a feeling of awe and admiration for a fellow Filipina to attempt such a feat.
So this coming April 18, 2009, Saturday; me and a good number of runner/blogger’s like myself will get up close and personal with ultrarunner Joy Rojas and her Takbong Pangarap teammates, trainer/navigator Mateo Macabe and manager Chuck Crisanto at Fully Booked, The Fort in Taguig City. The meet and greet, is sponsored by The Philippine Online Chronicles (POC), will be held from 6pm to 8pm at the bookstore’s Uview Theatre.
The said event will be hosted by noted bloggers Dine Racoma and Noemi Lardizabal-Dado of filipinaimages.com, a website dedicated to reshaping the Filipina image online…. Both notable Filipina blogger’s that I am hoping to meet too!
Kristine Mandigma, editor-in-chief of The POC, will introduce Rojas , a freelance writer and magazine editor, takes the floor to entertain guests’ questions about her historic endeavor.
Read more about Takbong Pangarap and how you can help the monumental project in the POC’s special channel dedicated to the event.
