CEBU MARATHON 2019

Cebu Marathon 21k Cebu Business Park

I think I went over 4hours, siguro 5 minutes

I registered sa Early Bird. I wasnt sure kaya ko pa. I dont have time to run during weekdays. Still, tinuloy ko pa rin. Then on Jan 6 2019, I had a scratchy throat. ON January 7, I lost my voice, I had cough and colds, of course my period came. I discovered that the pain in my ankle could be caused by high uric acid. The odds are against me. I decided that if its gonna rain on a Saturday, I will not run. I guess God listened to me coz It did not rain. It wasnt even a cold Sunday morning.

I ran, I finished. I survived, I can still walk. Thats All that Matters. Viva Pit Senor! Alay kay Sr. Sto Nino, for my Mama, myself, pemily and for ADN/MC

After the run, I walked most of the way home. Had the usual pains sa chest are while trying to climb a PUJ. Juicemio, the struggle of going home is real.

Sa mga newbies in running, Targettin niyo na ang CCM. Its still the best run in Cebu City. Wala pang nakakatalo nito

They closed the roads again in the afternoon for the kabataan dance

4:30 a.m. 21k  Time 3:25
Weather: Raining

I feel so tired and sleepy. After my 21k run, I did laundry then went out again to work overtime. All I can say about this run, it reminded me of the rainy Cebu City marathon in 2013. Well it really wasnt as bad as the CCM. I guess I should get used to the rain by now. Oh well, my body now gets tired easily but still, I am determined to continue running. Bahala nag pirming last finisher hehe

 I  want to congratulate SM for a well organized run. You closed S.OSmena road, Wow! Well gun start  was late but it wasnt your fault.  I wish SM Seaside  will be finished next year, that would be cool. I hope someone got a pic of me.

Fireworks at Gunstart! WooooWWW!!
Foams, hydration tables, chocolates, bananas..more please.
Loot bag and a hearty breakfast


Not so Good:
Slow courtesy booth for 21k

Mandaue Foam's Run for the Planet (My 16th 21k)

Dec. 28, 2014 (originally Dec. 7) Ayala Terraces
4:30 a.m. 3:18
Weather: Cold and Windy.

To be honest, I wasnt in the mood to run. Tis the season to be lazy since the weather is cold and there's LPA somewhere in Mindanao. But I'm glad I did, I really need the exercise. Overall, the run was okey, aside from the usual cold water stations, they also provided gatorade, bananas, chocolate and ice cold foams. I love running during a cold windy weather. The only bummer on this run is that I didnt get the finishers medal. They ran out of medals and since I'm a slow runner, I'm one of the unlucky ones. I sent them a DM thru facebook edited. See below. I have lost hope in getting the medal. So Lessons Learned.

Dear Mandaue Foam:

My name is Jan, a participant in the 21k Run for the Planet held this morning (Racebib #05). This is to inform you that:

• On November 30, 2014, before I registered for the Run for the Planet, I asked the in-charge twice if a finishers medal will be given at the end of the race and she answered yes.
• On this morning's run, after running the whole 21k course , when I arrived at the finish line I was given a letter because they ran out of the finishers medal. See attached pic. I have been running since 2012 and this is my 16^th 21k, this is the first time that I was not given a finishers medal at the finish line. .
• I was annoyed and disappointed that I was not given my medal. Had I known that the medal produced was not enough for those who registered for the 21k, I would have registered in 12k. I believe I was misinformed. Since I have trust issues, I do not believe what has been stated in your letter.
• If such a medal exists for us slow runners, may I request that it will be delivered to my office when it is available. I did my part in the payment and running the 21k route, you failed in giving us the medal. Its the least you can do. Since I have a job and next year will be a busy time for accountants, I cannot inconvenience myself and the office by skipping work to get the medal.

Thanks and Happy New Year.

3rd Elizabeth Royal Run 2014

Nov 16 2014
Ayala Terraces, 4:30 a.m.
21k  3:17 (note: this is my 15th 21k)

My body wasnt feeling well the past week. Even while running at the oval at Cebu Sports Center, I get tired easily. The same feeling didnt go away when I did the 21k run . The energy drink didnt work. The condition of my body was way lot different when I ran Gaisano Country Mall last month. And to think every week I had 3 runs including LSD to prepare for 42k. I blame the coming of my period. I always get this feeling like I'm going to get sick. Oh well, my time is still okey and I'm not the last runner.

This is Elizabeth hotel's 3rd run but its my first time because for some reason, there are a lot of runs scheduled in November. In fact 3 runs are scheduled on Nov 16. I chose Elizabeth Hotel coz its the nearest. They have the cheapest registration fees, can you imagine, P450 for 21k. They give dog tags to all distances, no distance specified but there is a date.  They also gave a small loot bag containing 2  bottles gatorade, 1 boiled egg, 1 bread and 1 bottle ritemed lagundi
One thing happened in Banawa after the turnaround point, there was a guy involved in a motorcycle accident. He was unconscious and sprawled on the street. He doesnt look good. Also: 2 UPCDR runners also participated. I didnt wait for Urbandub's performance, too tired and hungry.
Here are some pics

Single, Racebib, dog tag

Dog Tag- a closer look

So tired after doing laundry and taking a shower.

Delayed upload due to problems with my bluetooth.

PS: Please pray for me. I'll be doing 42k this end of Nov. I'm really scared. Im praying for a cool and safe weather and for my safety and hope I wont get lost.

RACE BIB

One of my dreams was to participate in a Run United Run, not necessarily the three runs, I cant afford it, but at least 1 run. Last year I booked a flight for Run United 2 when I saw the schedule. Unfortunately  months after, I saw the venue was changed to Roxas Blvd. I didnt know back then that Roxas Blvd is just near MOA. So I decided to not register. Fortunately I was able to get a refund for the plane trip from Cebu Pacific.
Now last August, I saw someone post the RUPM 2014 at facebook.  I wanted to register so after a day of sleeping on it, I was able to register for 21k. The 21k slot gets filled up easily so its better to make your mind up fast. Then I booked at Cebu Pacific for my plane ticket and reserved at Kabayan for my overnight trip. 3 Weeks before the event,  I was feeling under the weather. I thought I was getting better after a week, but after the RedCross bloodletting, i got worse. I took medicine but i wasnt feeling any better. On the first week of Oct, I was feeling a bit better, then my period came on Thursday Oct 2, 2014. At least my nose wasnt running and I occasionaly cough.
The day finally came after weeks of preparation. I was worried because I only got to run a 6k and 12 k last September since palpak ang Danao Run registration. Also the constant rains in the afternoon prevents me from training. But I've run 21 about ten times, I have to trust  my 2 years worth of running. I'm also in luck because Oct 6 is declared a holiday, i have one day to rest.
The day came, Oct 4. I woke up at 4:30 to prepare and went out at 6:00 a.m. to get a taxi. Good thing I found one right away.  The boarding was delayed for about 10 minutes. When I arrived at Manila, it was really sunny. One new thing I found out at NAIA 3, there's an ongoing renovation and  MRT/LRT/Baclaran pujs are no longer allowed to park or stop in front of the airport. Meaning, its gonna be along walk if you want to ride a jeep.

rm 548 kabayan pasay

I arrived at Kabayan at about 10 am, fortunately there was a clean room available so I got room 548 and paid for my bill. I ate at chowking, went back again to my room, arranged transpo at the hotel for the run then off to Mall of Asia for 4 hours of browsing and searching for the venue of  starting line.

Landmarks near Starting Line

Oh there you are Diokno Drive

The searching for Diokno drive was hard, I started at the middle, then at seaside, going back to smx then to the other end. Finally I found a guard who knows where the location is. Well I can see the tents being set up so It was kinda obvious. Clue: near E-com 2/prism plaza. Then I went back to the mall, bought socks, jacket and food (go nuts donuts and wendys burger, waffle). I went to the puj waiting area and went inside the first in line going to lrt/mrt. Unfortunately the route was slightly different and I had to go to the footbridge going to lrt, then go up higher at the ladder again. Then it started to rain. I decided to drop by the supermarket to buy water and a garbage bag. Even with an umbrella, I was still a bit wet. I really wasnt that hungry so I just ate the waffle, a bit of donuts and 2 bites of burger. Good thing my throat didnt get sore with all the sweet food. I watched a bit of tv, then wash my face (it was too cold for a shower) then tried to sleep. Good thing i was able to sleep (unlike in Talisay), it got a bit cold though. I really wish Kabayan would give me an extra pillow. I heard my alarm then started to get ready. I put on plastic inside my shoe just in case but the rain already stopped so I just removed it. The driver for my transpo didnt know where the venue is so I tried to guide him. But the road was closed (as expected) so he dropped  somewhere near E-com1 and I walked to the baggage area. BTW, the baggage area location is different. There's a separate venue for the starting line, finish line for 42 &21k.  I heard there were 5000 runners for 21k and there will be 2 waves. I was in the first one. I didnt have time to warm up so I prepared my usual gear, same as in Bohol. They were showing other stuff but I cant see the screen. Then the countdown began, then we were off. We were starting so slowly because of the number of runners. I remember at about near km 1, it was dark, the road was wet but I was jogging slowly as usual. One minute I was happily jogging, then the next second  my face is on the ground. 
One thing i realized is that my face was "ngiwi". I though the jacket  or my teeth was loosened. Two persons helped me up, i didnt get to thank  them coz I was in a state of shock. I took my hankie to wipe my face, then I saw blood. I was so scared my nose was bleeding.  I walk slowly, looking for a medic. I tried not to panic and keep on putting pressure near my nose.  It took so long  to find help so I just jogged again until I saw the water station and the first ambulance.  The people there were obviously werent prepared. They had to look for a flashlight. Everything is in boxes, it was dark.

 It took 20 minutes (estimated only) for the whole treatment.  I was worried that I would be left behind. They gave me ice for my face  then I was jogging again. I was looking around when I realized I was in Roxas Blvd. Ang lapit lang pala. I saw Manila Bay and the familiar rizal  park. The ice I was holding melted, my face was a bit painful, I can feel  my skin exposed. Everytime I can find cold water, I splash it on my face. So there i was, walking, slow jog, short sprint for the next 19 kilometers. I was feeling okey, just afraid of falling again. I saw CCP, Star City and MBC. My  sunglasses worth P600, supposed to be shock proof broke the second time it fell.THe lense just fell off  grrhhh.  I keep looking at the time, I'm delayed for about 25 minutes. When I saw seaside, i knew I still have 3-4km, the longest in my entire life. I saw Rio near the 21k finish line. There were also photographers so I probably have my picture taken, woopie. Then there I was 3 hours 47 minutes at the finish line. The lady who gave me  the medal was worried when she saw my face so she escorted me to the medic tent.


A doctor was there and I was advised  for observation for 48 hours. The treatment was short, no ice this time. Aftewhich, I went out to get my loot bag/finishers shirt then browsed to other tents looking for freebies. Thats why I dont want to run 42k, I want my freebies.

At 9:00 am, I went back to kabayan and hurriedly changed to get my breakfast.

BAND AID ONLY

WITH BANDAGES

I bought medicine and bandages to cover my wounds. Then packed up my stuff, went to get a PUJ. I keep seeing the bus at the airport, maybe i'll check that out next time. My flight was delayed so I wasnt able to get to church. I just went straight home, unpacked and washed my gear. Thats it. My RUPM 2014 experience. What has this experience taught me. Well maybe I should not go back to MOA. Not in the next 3 years. I dont think I'm ready for AWUM. This experience really shook me up.  I may take a break

 Thanks to the 2 runners who helped me when I fell. Also thanks to the medics. Next time, please be ready with your stuff esp. the flashlight.

Bohol International Marathon 2014

August 24,2014 Poblacion Plaza
4:00 a.m.21.1k 3:30 (not official time)
Stayed at: Isolla Bella Resort

Bohol has been one of my to do list since I started running. For some reason, I backed out last year because as I said in the past, I'm not a fan of travelling esp. at sea. After the Big Quake last Oct 15 2013, I decided to join the BIM 2014 as my contribution to help Bohol in its rehabilitation and to give back to "out of towners" who visit Cebu to join our runs.
I spent hours and hours googling for blogs, maps and accomodations.As recommended by BIM facebook, Isolla Bella was the nearest one, about 800m from the plaza, only 50 meters from the main road. Its easy to locate so I advise this place to newbies.  After I finalized my accomodation (50% downpayment), I paid for the registration fee P1000 then sent my registration thru email. The great thing about BIM is that they always schedule it on long weekends.This actually proves most of the runners are out of towners. So you can schedule an extended vacation and tour the island. Three weeks before the event, I bought an Oceanjet ticket (libre balik) for P800. 8:00 am in the morning Aug 23,  then return Aug 24, 2:00 pm.
A few days after the Talisay run, I repacked again all my stuff. I dont know why my two bags feel so  heavy, I only packed a few. Note: to myself, try to find sunblock and lotion  sachet size. I guess this is one of the reasons why my back is so heavy. On Friday night, I bought 3 Mcdo burgers, 1 for dinner, 1 for breakfast next day and dinner at bohol. There's no mall /fastfood in Panglao.  I felt so nervous on Saturday, I kept praying for a nice weather so I wont vomit during sea travel. It was 6:30 when I went out and say goodbyes to my mom. I arrived at Pier 1 terminal just after 7:00 am, paid P25 terminal fee, had my baggage checked and got my boarding pass. It feels like going to an airport. Then I went to Gate 8, to wait for boarding. 

Pier 1 Gate 8

 The tv was showing Harry Potter 2, Hermione looks cute when she was a kid. Then the guy announced for boarding, My seat number was 27-G. I went upstairs because I thought it was my assignment, I did opt for the cheaper seat. But I was advised to go down to the closed, aircon area, wow Sulit. Good thing I wore my fave green jacket. The seats were full, next to me was a group of koreans/japanese tourists. The movie they were  showing  was that Tom Hanks movie were he was hijacked by black people at sea. The trip to Bohol was 2 hours, It was hard for me to sit that long. I used the CR of oceanjet, it was clean but the faucet for washing hands wasnt working. Good thing I brought the alcohol I bought in Gaisano Tabunok Mall.  Then I saw land, wow We arrived. Honestly,  I was scared and nervous. I tried to read blogs and maps about bohol, but I guess I wasnt satisfied. Thats the reason I am making this detailed account so that every newbie out there who wants to run in BIM will be guided by this blog. When I arrived at Tagbilaran Airport, it was so hot. I noticed large tents for the terminal  and ticketing office of oceanjet & 2 go. There was also an ongoing road renovations, the road was tight & crowded. If bohol wants to invite more tourists, they really need to improve the port. I read that trikes in the ports are expensive, so I walked out of the place. I saw a jolibee billboard and  I was walking  towards it.  I didnt see a nearby jolibee store btw. I saw the guard and asked  for directions.  One  thing you also need to ask is the rates for the trike. I can't hide the fact that I'm an out of towner coz I was carrying 2 bags, I obviously looked like someone who just arrived from the port. Fare from outside tag port to Tagbilaran Community Hospital P10.00. The trike dropped me at the wrong hospital btw, so  I had to walk to the right location, which is about 300 meters. WHen I claimed my racepack, I saw the famous runner, Mary Joy Tabal, yey! Daghan ming taga cebu. I made the right choice.
Getting my singlet/race bib was quick.  I saw in the map that BQMall wasnt far away, so I asked for directions then walked. I like walking because  I can familiarize the streets in the city.  I dont want to get lost next time I come back. Rate for the trike  from the hospital to BQ is P8.00 if you dont want to walk. When i arrived at the mall, I saw the letters B and Q where no longer  in place. Paging BQ. I went inside and looked for a place to eat. I was advised by the janitor to go upstairs for the food plaza. I went up to fourth floor, there was a turo turo/canteen type of food store, I purchased  bangus, rice & saging for a total of  P90. There's a CR  nearby, so I took a pee after the meal. The CR is clean btw.  For a saturday, there wasnt much crowd in the mall. My check in time at the resort is 2pm so I killed time by browsing the stores. I bought a nice blinker, to be attached to the wrist/arm for P155.00  I also went to the grocery to buy 1liter water, hopia and chippy then dropped by the pharmacy to buy decolgen in case my colds return. After asking questions from the guard, I went out to look for a trike for my trip to panglao. When I went out of the store, guys began to crowd near me, really got me nervous. After negotiating with the driver,  (P300) we went off. the trike was pink btw hehe. The trike driver wasnt familiar with the place so we had to  ask questions from the locals people in Poblacion Panglao. The road to Panglao is simple, straight,turn , straight.  I was able to see the road where I will run. The resort offered a van to pick me up, but its gonna cost me P600. I really like riding the trycicle. So there I was, looking for signages then I saw the sign "Welcome to Doljo", about 3 meters before that is the Isolla Bella Signage, yehey! we have arrived. 

Isolla Bela Signage (before Barangay Doljo)

I checked in at the counter, found my room (no. 6), but the aircon wasnt working.  I went out again to get assistance by ringing the bell, the resort was understaffed so they were having problems in attending to every needs of the customers. It turned out that my aircon was unplugged...grrrr the room wasnt ready for guest. When I turned on the faucet, the water was dark, which means this room wasnt used for weeks.  Okey lang, I had 40 percent discount for the place. The bed is big enough to accomodate 4 people, but they only have 2 pillows. Wifi wasnt working. One good thing about the room is the cable tv.  

Double Bed- fits 4 people

Cable tv

I changed my clothes and went for out again a quick tour. Since I will be going out at dawn,  I need familiarize myself with the place. It was really hot and even with the umbrella, my arms began to sting.

Panglao Tower or whats left of it

19th century San Augustin Church

 My only regret was that I should have rode a habal habal so I can view Alona beach. Most of the resorts (cheaper ones) are in Alona Beach, it would be great to see other accomodations in case I come back. I wouldnt mind walking 3-4km to the start/finish line but if it rains, that will be a problem for me. I did see other signages of other resorts I found online but only the expensive ones. I didnt  see Isla Divinna Inn.
I went back to my room, prepared my backpack and caplight, tried to sleep,  watched tv, ate my baon Mcdonalds burger then tried to sleep.

Sleepless Selfie

 I woke up at 1:00 am, then took a shower. Good thing they had hot water because I was trembling with cold and I dont know how to adjust the aircon.  I decided to wear the UP CDR shirt because I didnt like the BIM singlet. It was green &  so plain. I also attached that tag timer thingie in my shoelaces. I love my reflectorized purple shoelaces.  When I went  out, the gate was closed but not locked, the guard was snoring so I just went out and started 800 meters walk to the poblacion plaza. There were dark places on the road, lots of dogs barking.  I just turned on my flashlight, walked and prayed. I was the only person on the road, so I was kinda nervous. I heard the fireworks from the plaza, the 42k  runners had already started the run. Good luck to them.
  I arrived at the plaza just after 3 a.m., I prepared my gear,water, lights, etc then left my bag at the coutesy booth, it was a classroom, about 100 meters from the starting line. I noticed only a few runners, fewer than talisay, I guess less than 200, some speaking in tagalog, some in bisaya. Most of them not wearing the green singlet. At 3:30am warmup  started, they were jumping, dancing and stretching,  I didnt follow them, I did moves of my own. I dont want to tire myself before the run.
At 4:00 pm, there was no gunstart nor fireworks but the host announced the countdown. And then we were off.  I am not familiar with panglao but i did study the route many times. At least you know to turn left/right, go straight, turn back  etc so you wont get lost. Despite the presence of streetlights,  there were so many parts of the road that were dark. Sometimes a streetlight suddenly turns off, this happens to my 3 times. Good thing I brought my caplight. I also had a flashlight but I only use it in case my caplight goes out. I just ran at my usual slow pace, thinking happy thoughts, trying to look at signages, listening to the tsismis of other runners, looking at my reflective shoelaces.  I passed by a foodstation and saw they have cloud 9 chocolates. Unfortunately my sweaty palms couldnt tear at the plastic so I threw it away. I lost precious seconds just by trying to open cloud 9. Most of the water stations had gatorade and I really appreciate that. There were also giving out foams but the water wasnt cold. The sky has already lightened by 5am and I still didnt reach the intersection. I did some sprints to make up the lost seconds. When I returned at the intersection (near church) to turn left going to Daorong, I saw food! woot! woot! hotdogs, barbecues, boiled eggs..But  I promised myself, I will only eat when I return, I dont want to risk a tummy ache. So there I go, run /jog/ walk. The sun was already out so I removed my sunglasses from my beltbag. One thing i observed in the run is the signages, or the lack of it. Its really confusing because I can see signages like "this way, left turn etc" but its not for the runners.  The signages for the runners is a bit similar with other signages on the road. Thats why its important to familiarize with the route. The marshalls are only few,  unlike the runs here in cebu. So you really need to adjust. There was no turning point signage, but there was a water/gatorade station and a girl holding straw (proof you passed the turning point). I was ecstatic to get the straw because this means I can finally get some food. There was still food when I came back, no more boiled eggs though. I took 1 barbecue stick. ..ohhhh so yummy, I wish i could eat some more but you have to think of the 42k runners. Next turning point, Bellavue beach...4k to go..wohhhhohh this time I'm taking it easy, more of slowjog/walking, stroll in the park. I saw some flags, then the sign the  bellavue resort..went inside then to the beach...there was another water/saging station there.. I immediately got my cp and asked the guard to take my pic with the beach as background. 

Bellavue Resort- last turning point

Bellavue Beach

I saw some kids capturing a big fish, poor fishy. After I got the 3rd and final straw, went back , got myself 1 banana, drank 1 cold water than went back towards  finish line, 2k to go. I really wish I could stay longer at the beach, but I need to go back and finish the race. There was a food station along the way so I ate a bit of hotdog, drank a cup of gatorade. I was taking it easy going back. Looking at my watch, it was already 3:30 minutes, I dont care, I just want to enjoy my last few minutes of the run.  When I was nearing the finish line,  I saw lots of photographers,  so  I did a sprint for a nice photo finish.

Finishers Shirt

Finishers Medal

I'm  excited for the pics to come hehe. After the finish, I got my bag, claimed my snacks, medals, finishers shirt and took some pics. I had to go back to attend mass so I walked 800meters back and forth and arrived at the church 30 minutes late. I was standing most of the time, it was a bit painful but I endured.  After church  I went back and claimed my breakfast at the resort. It was a morning  full of food, my stomach was really bloated with all the food I ate. I feel sleepy and content. I'm going back home to Cebu.
Thanks to BIM for a great experience. It would be 2-3 years before I come back for a run and I hope for improvements by that time.
Comments:
Lack of signages,  bigger one and more distinguishable. Although the route is simple, it would be great if this has been installed.
No timer: Maybe I didnt notice it,  I didnt see a timer.
Accomodations:  Request for more inexpensive accomodations near the area
Food: Provide scissors for the chocolate packs. Also, dont cut the bananas. It looks yucky when the it gets dark
Singlet: Please improve the singlet, add reflectorized material. 
Facebook: Next time please post singlet, medal and finishers shirt. Runners are motivated if they see this. Also inform the runners to use flashlights, caplights, blinkers.
What I loved best during the run: Food Stations and the short run at Bellavue beach
To runners who blog their experiences of running in various places in the Philippines: THANK YOU. Keep on writing.
lastly: Bucket list   CHECKED
