Race Recommendations
Bay Breeze 2/15 |
It's been a minute since I've done a race recommendation, and I am excited to get back to it after training and completing the 2024 California International Marathon in December.
In 2016, my soul/sister asked me to go with her to Brazen Racing's Bay Breeze 5K and since then, I've done the 5K a few more times, moved up to 10K, and have completed the Half Marathon at this course over the last 8 years. It's a flat and quick course that takes you from San Leandro Marina towards the San Mateo Bridge and back -- depending on the distance. The weather has usually been sunny and mild which makes this one of the most perfect races to take your indoor training outdoors. Use my personal referral link to sign up and register! We can enjoy post race snacks if you let me know you will be there. Happy Running! Register for Bay Breeze 2025 |
filipina entrepreneur community support
If you are a Filipina looking for support in your entrepreneurship journey, please consider joining the Entrepinayship Network. This is a community of filipinas at different stages of their life and business. In this community, you will find information, programs, opportunities, and people that will see you in all your filipina-ness and offer space to discuss the wins and challenges you are experiencing.
As a member of this community since 2020, I've been able to launch my coaching platform, facilitate kumare circles, and join the Entrepinayship Toastmasters Club. Over the years, I have had a chance to reconnect to my voice in a way that honors my ancestors, the motherland, and my heritage. I've learned that being filipino is a creative advantage in a competitive environment that continues to compare and divide people. Entrepinayship's mission is to "to empower Filipina, other Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI), and immigrant women to pursue entrepreneurship as a vehicle for self-determination and economic independence in a community of belonging.
