Bonifacio High St.

As far as running and jogging venues are concerned, this place is simply da bomb.

• Safe. The sidewalks here are WIDE. As wide as a car lane. No kidding. We've jogged here several times and joggers run around in both directions without crowding. Well, it helps that the place is not overrun by too many joggers but you'll still appreciate the space.

• Visual Candy. It's a clean and spacious commercial complex with views of neighboring Serendra, The Fort, NBC Tent, and other buildings in the area. The adjacent blocks are still unoccupied giving the jogger an expansive view at every turn.

• Other Joggers. Not too many, not too few. There are way more shoppers than joggers.
  

• The Restaurants and Coffee Shops. Cafe Mary Grace and Seattle's Best tops my list. Even Market Market is just a couple of minutes away. We like to dine or have a snack after a jog for which NUTRITION is, of course, the main reason. Getting together and unwinding is another. Nag jog kayo tapos kumain naman kayo -- di wala din! I've heard that a few times already, but this is now tradition, man! ;-)
  

• Parking. They're all over the place.
