12 Trivia Facts About David Nepomuceno

Photo from Rainier Virginio

1. David Nepomuceno was born on 9 May 1900.
2. David Nepomuceno was dominant in an era when the metric system was replacing the old imperial yard system and he ranked among the top 10 in the world in the 1920s including his fellow, the first great Filipino sprinter, Fortunato Catalon, dominating the 100 yards (91 metres) and 220 yards (201.1 metres) and 1925 100 metres.
3. David Nepomuceno was the first Filipino to compete in the Olympics and the lone representative of the Philippines at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.
4. Together with his coach Regino Ylanan, the founder of the National Collegiate Athletic Association of the Philippines, Nepomuceno carried our flag proudly during the opening ceremonies in the 45,000-seat Stade Olympique de Colombes - the same venue of the 1938 World Cup final.
5. David Nepomuceno ran the 100 meters in 1925 in only two-tenths of a second short of the then-world record.
6. The reason behind the entry of the Philippines in the Olympics is not clear but it is likely that the IOC (International Olympic Committee) or the American colonial officials decided to admit the Philippines in order to expand the Asian presence in the quadrennial event. 
7. The Men's 100 Meters was Nepomuceno's first event where he was slated to run in the fifth heat with the likes of Henricus Broos of the Netherlands, George Dunston of South Africa, Antonin Svoboda of Czechoslovakia, Poul Schiang of Denmark and Jose-Maria Larrabeti of Spain. Unfortunately, he finished dead last and both Broos and Dunston qualified to the next round. In the end, it was British Harold Abrahams who won gold at an Olympic record time of 10.6 seconds followed by American Jackson Scholz for silver at 10.7 seconds and Kiwi Arthur Porritt for bronze at 10.8. Interestingly, that race was depicted in the Academy Award-winning 1981 British historical drama "Chariots of Fire."
8. David Nepomuceno was then slated to run against home town favorite Maurice Degrelle and Dutchman Marinus van den Berge in Heat 15 of the Men's 200 Meters but he was not able to progress as Degrelle topped the race at 22.6 seconds. In what was expected to be a highly-anticipated rematch between American Scholz and British Abrahams in the final became an anticlimactic finish as Scholz ran away with the gold medal at an Olympic record time of 21.6 seconds followed by compatriot Charles Paddock for the silver at 21.7 seconds and British Eric Lidell for the bronze at 21.9 seconds. Abrahams finished dead last at 22.3 seconds.
9. David Nepomuceno went on to the 1925 Manila Far Eastern Games winning the Gold in the 200-meter dash and the Silver in the 100-meter dash. 
10. David Nepomuceno managed to win the Men's 100 Meter gold in the 1927 Games in Shanghai but failed to defend his Men's 200 Meters Straight gold as he slid to bronze as rising sprint star Anselmo Gonzaga took the gold and Japanese Takayoshi Yoshioka settled for the silver.
11. David Nepomuceno served in the Philippine Scouts and the United States Navy.
12. David Nepomuceno died on 27 September 1939.

12 Things You Needed For A Simple Workout

For a regular workout, these are 12 common things we, the12list authors, have for a simple workout. These are uploaded in no particular order.

Jump rope, for warming up, even if you are not an expert, you should try using this.

Yoga mat, (not for the dog hahaha) but for simple sit-ups, some yoga stuff, planks and other mat workouts that you need to include in your workout.

Treadmill for running inside if you were not able to run outside. Good alternative for endurance and stamina training.

Dumbbells for strength training and for muscle toning. Even women need to use a pair of dumbbells with lesser weights.

Pilates ball for additional workout variations. Plus, the dog (if you have one), for training your patience level because surely your dog will mess with you while you are training. (hahaha)

LPG tank, for additional weight and power training, you can use one so that when an emergency of running out of gas, you can carry an 11-kilogram LPG tank easily and replace an empty LPG tank.

Sturdy bench or any stable chair which you can use for step exercises which are good for training your legs.

Stairs which is a good replacement training area for uphill and downhill running which you need to include in you running exercises.

Drinking water which you need for exercise intervals.

Non Fat milk can help you maintain a good weight instead of skim milk.

Whey protein for proper growth and muscle repair. Also good for supplying high-quality protein for women when losing body fat depending on your body type.

A good old cassette player, radio, laptop, desktop, ipod, mobile phones, mp3 players, and other type of music player that can produce music for motivating you to do more in your workout. 

Remember, TRAIN SMART NOT HARD.

Treadmill Running 12 Tips

Treadmill running is an alternative way to run if you do not have time to go outside due to some reasons such as bad weather or not just in the mood to go out. Personally, I use the treadmill before going to work. 5 to 8 minutes will suffice already depending on the available time so as not to be late for work. Before, I rarely use the treadmill for running but since this is one of the available alternative for me to keep fit, I am now a treadmill believer. Treadmill running is an additional training for my long distance running adventures.

If you are browsing for some tips to make your treadmill running worthwhile, here are twelve (12) recommendations. 

1. Make sure you warm up.
2. Use a slight incline.
3. Don't make it too steep.
4. Don't hold onto the handrail or console.
5. Don't forget your cool down.
6. Don't lean forward.
7. Pay attention to your stride.
8. Work on improving your stride count.
9. Listen to music.
10. Visualize a route.
11. Don't forget to hydrate.
12. Don't look down.

12 Activities During Holy Week

So, how did we celebrate Holy Week two weeks ago? We listed down personal activities we have done during that week which others might have done too.

1. Worked - Yup. As a regular employee, I still have some work to do (MWF) since the whole Holy Week was not a public "holyday" and as an online worker, for Love, no work a day means no payment for hourly work of an online job.
2. Bought groceries. - In anticipation of a "closure" of malls during the Maundy Thursday and Good Friday celebration, stock of groceries were needed.
3. Watched Game of Thrones Season 1 to 3 and Episodes 1 and 2 of Season 4 - Opted to watched this TV series since it was already in my external hard drive. I saw the first episodes of Season 1 while traveling before and I got curious so I downloaded it. Since last year.
4. Jogged up to Lourdes Grotto in Baguio -

Earth Day 2014, April 22

• Earth Day is a celebration with the purpose of inspiring awareness and appreciation of the Earth's natural environment.
• Earth Day was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin having witnessed the effects of massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California in 1969.
• Earth Day founder Senator Nelson's reasons for choosing April 22 as the celebration's official date was that Earth Day was an “environmental teach-in” to maximize participation of college campuses in the week of April 19–25 which did not fall during exams or spring breaks and there would be less competition with other mid-week events.
• Second reason for choosing the April 22 date was that it did not conflict with religious holidays such as Easter or Passover and was late enough in spring to have decent weather. 
• Third reason for the official date of April 22 is that it is also the anniversary of the birth of noted conservationist John Muir.
• Senator Nelson's partners during that time of inspiration was Republican Congressman Pete McCloskey who acted as co-chair and Denis Hayes who became the national coordinator and who built a national staff composed of 85 personnel.
• Earth Day Network is the global coordinator for Earth Day.
• Originally focused in America, in 1990 Denis Hayes organized another global campaign with 200 million people in 141 countries participating which helped pave the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro.
• For having founded Earth Day, President Bill Clinton awarded Senator Nelson in 1995 the Presidential Medal of Freedom which is the highest honor given to civilians in the United States.
• In April 22, 2009, Earth Day was renamed as International Mother Earth Day by the United Nations having adopted an official resolution, A/RES/63/278
• April 22, 2014 was the 44th anniversary of Earth Day which has a global theme of "Green Cities".
• In 2014, Earth Day Network dropped Sodastream and spokesmodel Scarlett Johansson in their website's list of sponsors.

Boston Marathon 2014

• The Boston Marathon, the world's oldest annual continuous marathon and ranks as one of the world's best-known road racing events, was organized by the Boston Athletic Association in 1897 having been inspired from the success of the first modern-day marathon competition held in 1896 Summer Olympics with 18 runners that competed in the first historical race and John J. McDermott of New York winning with a time record of 2:55:10.
• The marathon is held every third Monday of April, which is April 21 for 2014, coinciding with the holiday celebration of the Patriot's Day in Maine and Massachusetts that commemorates the famous battles of Lexington and Concord. 
• In 1972, Nina Kuscsik became the first female winner with a time of 3:10:26 when women were officially allowed to join the marathon although in 1967, a woman named Kathrine Switzer registered as "K. V. Switzer" and successfully ran and finished the race despite having been tried to be ejected by a race official named Jock Semple by ripping off her numbers. Unofficially, Roberta Gibb was the first woman to run the Boston Marathon in 1966.
• In 1975, Boston became the first major marathon to include a wheelchair division with Robert Hall as the official winner with a time of 2:58:00. Unofficially, the first wheelchair athlete to complete the Boston Marathon on April 20, 1970, was Vietnam veteran Eugene Roberts of Baltimore.. 
• In the 1980s, professional athletes declined running in the race without cash awards because Boston Marathon was originally a local event but now considered as America's most prestigious marathon attracting worldwide runners and it was historically a free run with a prize of only an olive-woven wreath, but in 1986 the first financial prize was awarded in the 90th Boston Marathon having been sponsored financially by John Hancock Financial Services.
• In 1996, the Centennial Boston Marathon established a record as the world's largest marathon with 38,708 entrants, 36,748 starters, and 35,868 finishers.
• In 2002, a Kenyan female runner named Margaret Okayo set the women's Boston Marathon course record with a time of 2:20:43 but it was broken already last April 21, 2014 by a 33-year old Kenyan named Rita Jeptoo with a time of 2:18:57.
• In 2007, Boston marathon initiated the style of having a staggered wave start wherein a first group of runners started at 10:00 A.M. and a second group starting half an hour later.
• In 2011, although not officially recognized as "official world record" because the route allows a tailwind, Kenyan male runner Geoffrey Mutai ran the fastest time with a record of two hours, three minutes and two seconds (2:03:02).
• In 2012, 50-year old Rick Hoyt, who has cerebral palsy, and his father 72-year old Dick Hoyt, finished their 30th Boston Marathon together.
• In 2013, a major disaster happened during the marathon wherein two bombs exploded at 2:50 in the afternoon near the finish line killing three (3) people, of which an eight-year-old boy was included, and injuring more than 260 people. The two explosions happened on Boylston Street close to the finish line with the second bomb exploding just over ten second, 50 to 100 yards away from the first explosion.
• Boston Marathon is one of six World Marathon Majors that includes Tokyo, London, Berlin, Chicago and New York City marathons.

Patriot's Day AKA Patriots' Day

• It is an American civic holiday commemorating the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775 which were the first battles in American Revolution.
• It is officially Patriots' Day in Massachusetts and Wisconsin and Patriot's Day in Maine.
• It was previously celebrated every April 19 but in 1969, it was moved and has been observed every third Monday of April.
• It was first proclaimed by Gov. Frederic T. Greenhalge in Massachusetts in 1894 as a replacement for the public holiday of Fast Day.
• It was established on April 19 to consolidate the longstanding municipal observances of Lexington Day and Concord Day and also marked the first bloodshed of the American Civil War in the Baltimore riot of 1861 wherein  four Massachusetts militia members were slain and 36 injured and these dual commemoration celebrated "the anniversary of the birth of liberty and union" according to Gov. Greenhalge.
• Massachusetts legislature passed a bill in 1938 establishing the holiday "in commemoration of the opening events of the War of the Revolution."
• Following the proclamation in 1894, Maine followed Massachusetts in 1907 and replaced its Fast Day with Patriot's Day.
• Observances and re-enactments of these first battles of the American Revolution occur annually at Lexington Green in Lexington, Massachusetts, (around 6:00 am) and The Old North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts, (around 9:00 am).
• State police escorts those who retrace the rides of Paul Revere and William Dawes calling out warnings the whole way. Paul Revere is an American silversmith who is known for spreading the word of the Boston Tea Party to New York and Philadelphia and for warning the Lexington Minutemen about the British invasion in 1775. The story of his “midnight” ride to Lexington to discuss action plans against the British has been immortalized in a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow entitled "Paul Revere's Ride".
• There are re-enactments of the events leading to the battles of 1775 and a major highlight is the bell ringing which was the warning for the local troops that British soldiers were approaching.
• The Boston Marathon, technically the world's oldest continuously running marathon, is a major event held during Patriots' Day and is also referred as "Marathon Monday" by many Bostonians.
• The Boston Red Sox have been playing every year since 1959 in Fenway Park on Patriots' Day and the only games that were postponed due to weather were in 1959, 1961, 1965, 1967, and 1984, and a game cancellation in 1995 due to a late start to the season. Since 1968 the games have started early at around 11:00 am. and this early game start usually resulted in the game ending just as the Boston Marathon is heading through Kenmore Square. Since 2007 the Boston marathon has started between 9:30 am and 10:00 am which resulted to racers going through Kenmore towards the middle of the Red Sox game.
