So it’s the season of “fun” runs, again and what a lot people said was a fad last year, is still ‘in’ right now. Hopefully there’s an upsurge of well-organized ones too. Kudos to RunRio and Second Wind, among others, for spearheading the most organized ones.
Between you and me (runner to runner, fan to fan, or whichever you are) there were a lot of runs in the recent past which happened, “just so.” Joined quite a few of those and made me want to scream, “so not worth my waking up at 3:30 am and my hard-earned hundreds!”
I’ve been too training for pretty much a lot the past years that I wrote too little for everybody’s reading consumption. Now, recovering from post- ACL reconstructive surgery, I guess I’ve got to keep my sanity by sharing my thoughts. (Weight gain is sooo bearing me down, really! Sometimes I feel like crying when I look at myself.)
I AM SO EXCITED TO FINALLY START TRAINING AGAIN! With of course, the resolution to share more thoughts and tips which will hopefully enlighten or kahit entertain na lang, other readers. Your pleasure is mine! :)
Of course I cannot do a crash course at sudden pace. I want to heal completely, of course, so I may run full races sooner or later.
Thank God for Run United 1, who got me into hosting the awarding program with Rovilson Fernandez, my long wait to get back into running shape has been given an exciting start. I was a little jealous though. I wanted to run too! (In a few more days I'm going to see my doctor, Dr. Rene Levosada --he's the best!-- I hope he clears me!)
So far, there's New Balance Run for Hope (I encourage all of you to join this event at Dasma! Support Carewell!), the Hyundai Free Run -- err Hyundai Accent Run, and Nat Geo, among others.
There's a long list going and I certainly look forward to these. Doesn't matter if I start with 3K, 5K or 10K, as long as I start.
Of course, the hardest part should be getting back, bouncing back. But yes, for the love of it, I'll do it. (Plus I hate this heavy feeling.)
So which events are you joining? What distance is your favorite?
I say, it doesn't matter, which running events you join, as long as you do.
And it doesn't matter which distance your favorite it.. basta ako... ang gusto ko lang... eh yang distance pa punta sa puso mo.
WEHEHEHE. Good night friends, will update tomorrow! :)
