I chose to register in Race to Beauty because of the affordable registration fee. For only P350, you get a singlet, medal, snacks and a goodie bag. All other distances (5k, 3k) will also receive these items at a lower rate. SULIT di ba. How can I pass this up, I just have to register. Claiming my singlet last Sat, Sept 6 was a bad experience. The person in runnr ayala wasnt there and I had to do some browsing, eating and whatever to kill time before I got my race pack after 3 hours. Thats why I prefer to register near the race, at least you get the racepack immediately after payment.
It was raining the day before so I was worried. But the weather during the run was really cool, hardly any sunlight. The race started early, there were lots of participants, more in the 3 & 5 k though. This run wasnt well advertised in social media. I cant even get a hit when I googled it. But there were still a lot runners, even guys wearing the pink singlet. There's not much to tell about this run. Its the usual route, from ayala to Fuente Circle. As usual, I was running at the back of the pack, there were about 50 of us but I wasnt worried since I am familiar with the route and it was only 10k. I was exhausted at the start but I got into the zone when I was in Lahug. When I say into the zone, I'm already comfortable to running, my body has already adjusted and have no problems breathing. I can even sing and imagine happy thoughts while running. In short, i'm in a happy place.

Overall, it was a nice run, the weather was great, I felt it was too short, bitin. I was shocked when I saw my time, my best 10k time ever. It beat my 2012 Milo 10k, my run prior to my surgery. Amazing! I am happy with this race and I am willing to join again if they have another run next year. I hope next time they advertise a month earlier so more runners can attend. I love goodie bags, love them more than medals. Congrats and thanks to Unilever and Metro Ayala. I had a great morning.
