my run last 18-mar-2009

as i get ready for the condura 10K, i ran for 10K this morning...

been very busy with work. sheeesh.

 

my run on 15-mar-2009: at Tagaytay!

it's pay-day weekend!!!

we were off to Tagaytay, and we did an almost 10K run. saraaaaap! the hills gave me my much needed leg-work. it was an exhilirating first time! there was heavy drizzling while we were running. plus, the tagaytay winds were quite strong. i think my sweat dried off as soon as they left my pores. it was also my first time to encounter fog all over the place! running with full moon at the baywalk just came in second compared to the captivating view of Taal Lake! we hope to run at Tagaytay at least once a month.

i'm soooo ready for the condura run!

after a quick jolibee breakfast, i bought a rose cactus for 50-bucks only at a nearby garden. the ate said it's watered once a week only, so i think this one's perfect for me. i fell in love with its green-ish leaves arranged as rose petals. the ate also said that it grow babies with it's offsprings having their own roots. i'll have to look for a shallow yet wide clay pot for this one. let us see in a few months if i have the green-thumb like my nanay and my mamang does.

i could have gotten a bonsai too, but my place at the office is nowhere near a window/sunlight. maintaining it maybe difficult at this time. 

my run on 12-mar-2009

the moon was quite high and so full, even at 5:30 in the morning.

it was a peaceful, serene run. the moon reminded me of how lucky i am to be alive. and how lucky i am to be so blessed with family and friends. and how lucky i am to love and be loved in return. and how lucky i am to get through each day and wake up to another. and how lucky i am to be guided by Him.

stay-in-love-Mondays

... is my theme for today, and for the rest of Mondays to come. come to think of it, most of us dread mondays. it's the thought of going back to work, or school, that makes us want to avoid mondays. ambilis palagi nang weekend.  

and 'cause i didn't run earlier. i actually woke up at the sound of my alarm, but chose to ignore it. i'll run tomorrow instead.

and to all who're in-, i'm dedicating a song tp all of you. i placed my iTunes in shuffle-mode and this came up. it's from Disney's animated movie, Hercules. i bought the movie's soundtrack when i was in grade-6. then my sister took it from me. it never came back... this is my favorite song-- #2 lang si Go The Distance.

and this also goes to Lance-- who's telling his own fairytale in his blog as i was doing my daily blog roll... Oi, Lance, tulala ka palagi sa gym.

my run on 07-mar-2009

wooooooot! had a 9.5KM run this morning... and i feeeeel geeewd!

i had the same route like last saturday. only this time, i extended my run all the way to luneta park. i also didn't stop when i was at ccp. i went all the way to buendia/roxas blvd and started to slow down at the department of foreign affairs area.

as i bade bye-bye to jose's home, i went for a much needed hydration break at a nearby 7-11 along UN Ave. i went in to buy a drink, then off i go again! i wasn't able to buy a hydration pack pa. nike's hydration waist pack is so darn expensive, so i might settle for mizuno's endurabelt lite for now.

i saw jamie earlier! he tweet-ed that he'll be running daw. keep it up jamie! ang aga mo at ang haba na nang tinakbo mo!

yun lang pow...
