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.

Most Organized Running Event Goes To...

The Rexona Run 2010 was a blast! It was my first run in Mall of Asia, so my expectation is quite high. Coach Rio and the rest of the organizers did a great job from registrations up to the Race finish.

The registration went smooth for me and I was able to get the right singlet sizes for my running mates on the same day. Other races took weeks after registration to give out the race kits but still failed to give the exact size of singlets due to lack of availability. It was my first time o make use of a baggage counter during races and I have no hassle claiming our bags. The race went fine with markers on how many kilometers more you have to run. Hydration stops care of SM and Powerade are stationed properly and accommodated the needs of the runners. They even gave out cooling sponges! Medics and an ambulance roamed around to check the runners and I even see the Coach himself roaming and giving motivations to some runners. The claiming of loot bags is well organized. We only have to fall in line once to claim the freebies. The queues on the lines are not long since there are lot of staff that took care of the distribution. And the best part? Look at the photo below on what are the contents of the loot bags.

Road Trip to Vigan City.

On a lazy Sunday morning a friend asked me if I want to join for a road trip to Vigan that same day. I hesitated at first for it’s going to interfere with my pending tasks at hand. But I changed my mind and grab an extra set of clothes, money and some things I need for the trip.

A group of four, we started the travel by car at around 10:00 PM. The road is fine, just a few bumps from here and there but it’s smooth most of the way. We even took a wrong turn and was in Benguet for a short period of time. But that’s what road trips are, some bloopers and wrong turns. I slept most of the trip, just woke up just to blurt out some stupid funny remarks. We stop occasionally for change of driver and a gas refill. There’s no stopping for food as the car is loaded with snacks and drinks. The travel to Vigan just took 6 hours, including the wrong turn to Benguet. 

Wrong turn to Benguet

At 4:00 AM, we are already in the heart of Vigan City, the Plaza. We rest for some time. Watch the early joggers pass by and just enjoy the silence and beauty of the place. And then we got hungry. All the major food establishments are closed. We asked the people at the Inn besides the church if they serve breakfast but they told us that they serve breakfast at 6:00 AM. So we waited, strolled and take pictures to waste the time.
