08/30/09 smash and run fun run :)

so my friend tin have been convincing us to go running with her… syempre for us certified mga tamad — no thanks! but the need to get ourselves fit and the need to lose extra lbs have prompted me to start long walks… but never run. recently, our other friends have started to join fun runs. they got hooked as well! iba daw ang feeling after the run. there is fulfilment.

so during jogging mornings at UP diliman, they would run while i kept my brisk walk pacing. i agreed to join the smash and run sponsored by the company where one of my friends work for. na pressure na ko to run to prepare myslef for it. so i did. little by little i would run short distance, purposely ignoring the fact na reyna ako ng pagka lampa. i even invited my brother and her girlfriend to join us. i even treated myself with a new pair of running shoes as well — the new adidas adizero

august 30, 2009, we’re up as early as 4:30am to be able to make it to the 5:30am gunshot for the 10k. nope, hindi ako nag-10k but 2 friends who were with us joined that category. we joined the 3k. sabi nila pambata — what can i do??? that’s all i think i can achieve for how. it’s my first run afterall…

it’s was a very exciting morning for me! donna and i tried to ran side by side. sinamahan nya ko because she knew it was my first run and i need the moral support. it was a run.. walk… run… walk… run routine for us. we don’t know if we made a good time yet, siguro mga 40 to 45mins.

waiting for the 10k 'ers

it was a very good experience. i feel really good after the run and the fulfilment you experience after finishing your goal — it’s priceless.
