Freedom from wires and sweat with JayBird SB2TR

Been running for a year now. Since buying my iPhone 4, I have learned to enjoy music while running whether practicing or on actual races. This year, 2012, marks my debut to the half marathon races. Seriously, without music, the physically exhausting 2 hours can bore you to death. This is the magic of club and dance music comes in. It livens up my spirit to finish the race. For months, I have been looking for a good headset compatible with my iPhone. It should fit well, answer calls and most importantly, play my favorite music as I traverse the long routes of my 15k and 21k runs. At Riovana located at Bonifacio Global City, I chanced upon these stylish headset that I would love to wear on my next 21k run. The Jaybird SB2TR has a sleek, modern design. Combining the classic 80s and today’s innovative materials, this wireless headphone is a sure fire hit on the road. There are multiple colors available,with white topping my list to match the color of my iPhone. Performance is not sacrificed with quality sound and high fidelity bass to give you the pump on your run. Controls are on the side, to give you the liberty to pause, play, move tracks forward and backward while you run.This device is capable of playing your favorite tracks for 8 hours, talk time for 11 hours and standby power for 250 hours. The best thing about this device is that it is sweat proof, an important consideration for runners like me. Talk about design, performance and durability bundled into one sleek device, the JayBird SB2TR wireless headphone.

Sale Patrol: Zara Sale 2012 End of Season Sale starts tommorow!

What better way to start 2012 than to upgrade your wardrobe the Zara way!  With all the splurging I did this holiday season, the last thing I want to see are my credit card bills.  And because of that, I issued a self-imposed “hold departure order” for shopping trips to my favorite malls. Then again, the beautiful jackets, the dress shirts and the tailored jeans all at its discounted prices are valid reasons to stretch for a little bit the spirit of christmas.

Condura Skyway Marathon 2012 : tech+style ph’s first 21k run

All is set for my first Condura Skyway Run on February 5, 2012. This is the country’s only race that proudly includes the strip of the elevated highway in its route.  The race will benefit efforts to save mangrove trees which I believe is very timely given the wrath of the recent typhoon “Sendong”. The categories include 42k, 21k, 16k, 10k, 5k and 3k.  All race participants will assemble at Filinvest Village at Alabang.  Given the number of participants last year, parking can be challenging unless Festival Supermall opens up its parking areas for the event.  Registration is ongoing and you have until January 22, 2012 to register.  I did an online registration which took me about 5 minutes.  Race kits can be picked up personally at Riovana branches at BGC or Katipunan.
