after the loooooooong hiatus due to the pain in my right shin, i was able to run this morning! yey!
i took muscle relaxants (myonal) as prescribed by a doc last week. this was because two saturdays ago, my right shin was in great pain after running a few KMs in my usual roxas boulevard route. i didn't know why. there are a lot of reasons to it, and it must be because i pushed myself hard during the condura run 2009.
although there's still pain, i was able to run a good 6KM++ this morning. thank GOD!
this is a re-post from a favorite blog of mine, ohlalamag.com.
EVA LONGORIA VS TONY PARKER
Why is Eva Longoria throwing Tony Parker's running shows in the Canyon from their Hollywood Hills mansion !?
Don't worry it's all good between those two, Eva just wanted to help women to win the Nike Plus Challenge bien sur! Unless Eva Longoria is running with her high heel shoes then I don't get why Tony Parker through them out of the window too ... Come on Tony you gotta to stop her from running not shopping on Rodeo Drive ;-)
This European marketing campaign 'Men vs Women Challenge' starting on March 13 and ending on April 20 is the world’s largest running club Nike Plus will register the kilometers of men and women who join an official Men vs. Women online running challenge using the Nike+ system.
Launched in 2006, Nike+ allows Nike+ running shoes to transmit data wirelessly to an iPod nano, an iPod touch or Nike+ SportBand. Information on time, distance, pace and calories burned during a run.
The Men vs. Women campaign features a television ad that star Roger Federer, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Tony Parker and Eva Longoria Parker, Paula Radcliffe, Sofia Boutella and Fernando Torres.

i'm in the 109th place over 1,313 10K runners this condura run 2009!!! my target was to be in the top 100, or at least in the top 10 percent, but it's okay. i'm so happy!
And congratulations to my friends who ran as well, you know who you are.
stiffness in my legs makes me walk funny today... i can't use my salon pas at the office, so advil is my bestfriend for now. wish i had a massage yesterday, it ought to lessen the muscle stiffness i'm having now...
but it was worth it!
i didn't run the 21K skyway run, but the 10K route passing through the the fort-edsa-buendia flyover was the nearest i got to the skies. i'm so happy i did that.
my misses:
forgetting to put adhesive bandage on my right sole, resulting to a blister from my shoe... it was quite painful at the 7th km onwards
always training on flatlands, resulting to difficulty in ascending the flyover at buendia
not winning on any of the door prizes (kahet 1000-php Nike GC man lang...)
so worth it:
running so free and adrenaline pumping
seeing the dawning metro manila sun on top of the flyover
meeting a couple of dogs doing the 5K (they even have turn-point ribbons with them!!!)
feeling so proud to those who did the 21K (one day, i'm gonna do the same!)
wearing super-duper short running shorts (see photo below)! haha! alavet!
my purchases at nike outlet at sta. rosa laguna the day prior the race... more gear! alavet more!
a couple of nike running shorts for 300php each!
nike hydration belt for spring '07 it costs 1800 at nike stores by half the price at the outlet
shoe wallet on runs where my shorts doesn't have a pocket... only php303
