Last weekend, I was invited to attend the intimate media send off with our ING New York Marathon 2013 Timex Philippines delegates. We were able to get to know more of our representatives during lunch at Lorenzo's Way in BGC.
The Pangilinan's were so game in answering questions regarding their preparation in terms of mentally, physically and emotionally for their upcoming marathon. I thought running in a marathon is easy. I mean, tatakbo ka lang naman, right? But no pala! Anthony shared to us his 1st experience in running the marathon. It's a 4-5hours of running, you can take a break for restroom, pero syempre you can't rest too long para yung adrenalin mo intact pa din.
Let's get to know Anthony Pangilinan more:
- A management trainer, motivational
speaker, and productivity
consultant.

Teleradyo Program in AksyonTV5
called Magbago Tayo, which is broadcasted nationwide and worldwide.

the 2009 and 2010 Ironman Philippines

And Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan:
