6th Pink October Run

Oct 14, 2012 5:30 am

5k 41: 38 ayala terraces

I know I said last week that Milo run is my last but I just cant resist joining the Pink Run. I havent even run this past week coz I was busy with work and  check ups. The route was just around cebu business park, reminiscent of  runnrs academy. I missed 5k and I'm glad  I'm going back to short distances. If ever I'm well enough to run again, I plant to join 5k-8k. I wont join 10 and above until I can finish 5k in 30 minutes. Possible?..not really sure..we'll see.

Got some freebies: 1 picture from photobooth and 1 little pouch from fitness first, bread from Julies and 1 small bottled water from St. James.

Reminders to all women ages 40 and above. Its time for your annual breast check up. Seriously  you  need to do this.  Please dont be afraid, not all lumps/tumors are cancerous.  Remember October is breast cancer awareness month so go the malls like SM and Ayala for free checkups and other activities. 

I'm scheduled for surgery next week, thats means I cant run anymore this year. I'm gonna miss Citigym run and CCM 2013...arrgghhhh

Milo Run 2012

Oct 7, 2012 10K 1:23:10

Start/Finish: CNU/CCSC 5:00

Its 9: 30 am, laundry done, watched a bit of tv. I just finished my last race for the year, the milo 10k run. I am happy to announce that I made it within the cut-off time (3 minutes earlier compared to Timex run last Aug) and received my certificate. Since this is my last race, I gave it my all.

I brought little bags of water placed in ice water plastic (1 2-inch water and 2 1-inch water)

some things worth mentioning

Perfect weather for running. Slight drizzle at the start but it stopped after 15 minutes during the run.

Since the roads were closed early, I had to walk from B, Rodriguez (near the old police station) to Abellana. When I reached the venue, 21k runners just started.

Route was okey. First time I passed general maxilom to p del rosario.

I skipped 2 water stations and 1 sponge station. I did try the second sponge station, the sponge wasnt cold but its ok.

There was a point when I thought I couldnt make it. I was expecting to reach gorordo 40 minutes before cutoff but I was still in salinas drive by that time.

I hope someone took my picture, I'm sure I looked dreadful. My mouth was open most of the time. Hingal to the max. I only slowed down during uphills roads.

No snacks, just milo drink and some yogurt free tasting. But thats okey. Thats why I like the osmena blvd route, so many places to buy food even its early in the morning.

There were so many students, kids and runners who participated in the event. I'm sure Coach Rio and Milo are happy with the turnout.

I had breakfast at McDonalds, had to walk from abellana to Mcdonalds coz there wasnt any jeep.

Panata: presuming I'm still healthy enough to run, I vow to join Milo Run's 10k every year. My goal to to finish 10K in 1 hr 10 minutes. If I achieve this, then I will consider joining 21K.

Next on the agenda: hair straightening at the parlor after rest of course

p.s. About being the last race, I could change my mind, that depends on the outcome of my tests. I started seeing the doctor last sat. I'll be doing some tests tomorrow. I'm scared of the results. There is one race I'd like to try, the citigym halloween run for 10k. I was even looking in stores for possible costumes..hehe cant believe I did that.
