I was so excited for the Men's Health Miracle run. This time, I am not running for myself alone, but also for the GMA Kapuso Foundation - the "run for a cause" of this event. Four of my officemates also joined the event who are all first time runners. They ran in teams of two, while I joined the Individual category.
Running on the streets of Fort Bonifacio gave me more excitement. Though I have already expected that my knee joints will give-in due to rheumatism, or arhtritis, or lack of proper training. And that's where my knee pads helped a lot. And I thought that I will not be able to finish the full 10 kilometer because of aged joints, aged training, and aged in the office chair. But I was surprised upon seeing my elapsed time on the finish line - 1 Hour and 9 minutes. Not bad enough for me when I expected that I would finish for about 2 hours due to my slow pace in the middle of the race route.

I should have known about running that year Pedz! Siguro ang dami na nating natakbo, siguro nakapaghalf marathon na ako, or better yet, I am already a full pledged Marathoner.
ReplyDeletePero okay lang, at least now I am aiming for that goal!
Ang bilis mo sa 10K sans training!
Where were you those times Madz? You're busy with your Masteral's I think :p
ReplyDeleteNope Pedz. I graduated from my masters May of 2007. I'm a couchpotato by that time, I suppose :D
ReplyDeleteI was a pleasure watching that. I was there in phillipines watching the same. I wanted to participate but couldn't do so as i was suffering from a knee injury that time.This article reminded me of my time there in phillipines.
