SUBARU MARATHON 2015

Subaru has been running race events abroad and if I'm not mistaken it is their first time in the Philippines together with Runrio. This has been my fourth half marathon of the year after Run United 1 and 2 and Takbo.ph. Also, I'm not really a frequent runner but this time I get addicted (I guess). I have run two consecutive Sundays for the first time after EntrepRun and this one. Thanks to Deltek, my new employer that provide "run for reimbursement". As long as you are wearing the official shirt and they will pay it for you. It's a huge help for me and for the company.

Know More.

Do More.

Move More.

Although I'm not quite sure if I can finish this race, the previous Sunday was terrible, suffering for Plantar Fasciitis - one of the runner's common injuries that usually happens for flat-footed like me. I'm glad that my college mate who is also a runner joined me from start till the finish line. There were signs that in anytime the muscle will explode from somewhere under my feet but fortunately, it was a bit smooth. We had a slow yet continuous pace till the finish line.

ENTREPRUN: A RUN FOR SUCCESS

It is my first time to join an 18KM event or perhaps the first time in the Philippine races to have an 18 kilometer longest distance (I'm not quite sure with this though). AFFI (Association of Filipino Franchisers Inc.) supported this event together with Affinitea Brown Race as the event organizer. Actually my first time to run with Affinitea, I have tried with Runrio, Runtarantantan and Takbo.PH.

Huh, looks like everything as "first", how many times did I mentioned that word?

Anyway, I only had one 10KM training at the Ayala Triangle Gardens prior to this event, although I have a regular badminton practice twice a week so I guess that was a huge help completing this event. The route is pretty much familiar as I had few races before in MOA - Roxas Boulevard - Baclaran area but the start to finish route of EntrepRun is completely different. And as usual I stayed in my slow yet continuous pace.

DREAM MARATHON '16 DIARY: WHERE IT ALL BEGINS

Just so you know running is not new to me. I started doing it since 2012 at 5k distance and I barely know that time that running is one of the huge events in the metro. I stopped from there. It took me two years to join fun runs again. As I mentioned I didn't know that running is a huge activity in the speedy life of the city until I noticed that my facebook timeline has flooded with numerous posts about running every Sunday morning. Then a common friend invited me to run at 16k for FrancisM. And everything started from there, I have joined several running events and eventually signed up for half marathons. At the moment, I can't really count how many 21k medals I have at home but all I know it keeps on counting.
