Preparing for my first 21K

I havent posted for a while because I was busy with work and training (or at least trying to) for my first 21k. Since I was rejected by the Good Run, my first 21k will be Hunat Sugbo 3 this coming June 23, 2013. Registration is ongoing at Park Lane Hotel near Cebu Business Bark Ayala, you can get the singlet and race bib right away. Hope everyone can join para daghan nata, besides talagsason ra ang 21k sa cebu city uptown area. Most of the 21k's are in Mandaue City.

I joined 2 16k after SM to SM run , unfortunately no finishers medal were given. I also started swimming again as my cross training and I do lsd every sunday or saturday, depends on my mood and the weather. I try to run one hour on weekdays and I purchased 2 new shorts (nike and body music). I hope my training is enough to for this June.

Takbo Laban sa Krimen

March 16 2013 16k timer was not working, estimated is 2 hours and 30 minutes (or more)

start/finish IT Park

I was the last finisher again. The marshal riding the motorcycle started following me at san carlos seminary but fortunately, he stopped after 1k. I was feeling nostalgic becoz I went back to Banawa again, which is now one of my fave locations to jog. I found a cute father and kid running and I got to talk with them. We also met 2 students who ran the 10k at cebu business bark, about 3k from the finish line. I noticed when I crossed the finish line, the timer wasnt working, a big Boo. One thing I also noticed, there are only few marshals around. This was my first 16k, and my body ached after the run.

Break the Silence Run

Ayala Terrraces

After a 4 day GACPA seminar at Lapulapu city, just sitting, listening to the speaker, then eating making tsika, I wasnt really in the mood to exercise, At 1:OO am, rain starting to pour heavily, bummer, I thought, this is gonna be a bad day “Should I run?” Still I woke up at 3:40 am, ate my breakfast and got dressed. When I went out, ambon na lang ang rain, but my body still felt heavy and I felt lazy. Sometimes we have to push ourselves to continue to run. Besides, I need to train for my 21k, I cant stop now. When I arrived at Ayala, the program already started. I removed my pedals, I was wearing my nike shorts underneath and prepared my gear. The weather was perfect, a bit cool, a little shower and no sun, wow! I am so lucky. After 3-4k, I starting feeling the love for the run, its a wonderful feeling. I am so happy to report that I am not the last runner, my time was still consistent, there's just many lazy runners running with me hehe..But my shoes got wet...booo...also, There are fewer marshalls round...what happened? Probably busy with the campaign period. I was so wet because I perspired a lot..as in a lot..tulo gyud singot nako..hapdos pud ang skin where my 2 legs touch when running..i should do something about this.Overall I have no regrets, I didnt expect to finish the run, I did it. I'm glad a registered in this run.

Reminders: 2 runs this May. May 12 (yup, day b4 election) San Isidro Parish Run (talamban cebu) and Run for BB5 ( Chong Hua Hospital ) on May 26. Just go to Runnr's Ayala for the registration forms. Running and biking are really popular here in Cebu and I hope more people will learn to love running and other forms of exercise.
