Rexona Run 2010

Had another 10k distance added to my mileage. On track pa rin sa goal ko to at least finish 100k this year. Ok na ok yung organization - it started on time & madilim pa, parking was easy, there were marshalls all over to assist all the runners at ang pinaka-mahalaga eh hindi nagkulang sa hydration. There was enough for everyone! Ako pa nga ang nahirapan magisip kung iinumin ko yung tubig or ibubuhos ko sa ulo to cool off. Yung race course din ayos, daming patag kaya hindi masyado mahirap para sa katulad kong walang kapraktis-praktis & wala masyadong mga kasabay na sasakyan na makikipag-kumpitensya sa dadaanan.

Two of my friends joined me, Edward ran with me & his wife Elisse gamely acted as photographer para ma-sanay gumamit ng SLR & may remembrance kami. Heck, walang kaabog-abog she even asked Chino Trinidad who was just passing by to pose with us! We started late & were probably late by 12-15 minutes. Tamang jog lang kami & kwentu-kwentuhan then by KM5 we parted ways & I adjusted to my own run-walk pace.

This would probably be the first run I've joined wherein i felt minimal pain in my arch or knees kahit isang buwan walang practice, exercises & warm ups (diretso takbo from parking kasi late) - probably because of the new shoes I was wearing. I ran using the new Fila Flow DNA (sorry, 'diko lam yung tamang name).It was kinda like the Nike Free pero parang synthetic mesh/net yung material. It was light & cushioning was great. Baka yun lang ang kailangan to be able to run better, bine-break in ko rin kasi yung shoe & I wasn't in shape kaya hinay-hinay lang. Sana 'wag na masyado umulan pag hapon para makapag-jog kahit once a week.

*Thanks to Chino Trinidad for posing with us & Photovendo for the nice photos.
