Had a great time running my 2nd half marathon yesterday at Run United 1 2011. I’m glad that I beat my old PR by 12 minutes (my 1st half marathon was at QCIM2). As expected, the run was well organized, thanks to Run Rio and Unilab. Sufficient and well stationed hydration stops. The only thing that I notice was there were no cheerers on sight, I was expecting someone to yell “push, kaya mo yan” or any words of encouragement when I was on my last 3 Km. But other than that, the race is great.

I registered for 2 running events for November and December, 15K at the Unilab Run and 21K for the much anticipated Quezon City International Marathon.

I paid 600 PhP for the 21K since we registered late for the event. The race kits will be given on November 27-28th at UP Diliman Bahay ng Alumni. The QCIM 2 will take place on December 5 2010 at the Quezon City Circle. Registration is only up to November 7th.

I and my sister will be running at the Unilab Run, the 3rd leg of the Runrio Trilogy. Our last run was at the Adidas KOTR 10K and decided to try the 15K this time. We registered at the New Balance outlet at the 5th floor of Shangri-la Plaza Mall.

Our RunRio card from the Rexona Run is not accepted so we registered again using the iPad and was given new cards for future registrations.

Here’s the photo of the Race kit and some freebies from Unilab.

I Ran (Not Walk) at the 10.10.10 Run for Pasig River

We got stuck in traffic minutes before the gun start of the 10.10.10 Run for Pasig River. We continued on foot and did some running (warm up) up to the starting point. Luckily, we made it just on time before the start. A rush of thousands of runner rushed frantically towards us since we are in front of the starting line, so we waited for a bit before me and my friends joined the rest of the runners.

I ran nonstop starting from the Starting Line in Star City up to the 3K mark; I did some walking because I started to felt a stitch on my right side. But I was able to pace with the men of Army and Police up to the finish line with a Gun time of 31 minutes.

Trail Run in Singapore

We did a lot of things during our 1 week vacation in Singapore. We visited places, eat good and weird stuffs, shop, took lot of pictures, try different types of transportation including the Singapore Cable Car, and joined a running event. It was just a 3K mini marathon (since the 10.5K marathon registration fee is a little expensive for us), but it is not one ordinary run. It was a trail Run.

Tour de Trail took place at MacRitchie Reservoir last September 26th. I and my 2 sisters participated in the 3K run. Other categories were 10.5 individual and a relay. It was our first time to said place so we did not expect what the path would be. We started in the assembly area inside the Reservoir, then to the highway and into a passage going back to the reservoir. The passage is narrow and surrounded by trees. The ground is wet, muddy and some gravels, rocks, branches and twigs in some places. The path goes uphill and downhill. The view is great as if you’re inside a jungle and we even passed by a small lake. It was sure a long path that seems to never end. The trail goes back to the concrete part of the reservoir and into a straight line towards the finish/start line. Check out the photos I and my sisters took.

Just Keep Running

Joined 2 fun runs this September, St. Luke’s Urology Fun Run last September 5 and this week’s TakBONE Run for a Cause organized by St. Luke’s Orthopedics. Both runs end up well. The St. Luke’s Urology Run was held in the SLMC in Quezon City, while the TakBone in St. Luke’s Global.

Running is pretty easy to do. You just have to put your foot in front of another and you have to do it really fast... That’s a line from the movie Run Fatboy Run. Many do it for some reasons, but personally, running is my way of getting away from things, getting away from stress, boredom, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, problems, etc. Years before, I would say that my way of getting high is skateboarding, but because I’m a lot heavier than my teenage years, I can’t enjoy skating at present without injuring myself. So, running is my new addiction.

What Earth Run? Feels Like Earth Walk To Me

Earth Run 2010 is a success for me. Despite the “unorganized” distribution of kits in Trinoma and Glorietta 3, and the rumored no energy drinks during stops, the event went well and more than 7000 runners had fun running around the Fort during the race.

Since two Fun Runs took place earlier today, one in Mall of Asia which was sponsored by Nat Geo and Earth Run in the Fort sponsored by Solar Entertainment, it’s not hard to compare the 2 events. According to those who participate in Nat Geo’s Earth Run, they were disappointed by the lack of freebies and water stops service by the organizers. It’s expected that the Nat Geo Earth Run
