I have always hated jogging. I couldn't stand putting my lungs into a lot of hard work. But more recently, I got interested in joining races. The first one I joined was a 5 kilometer race at Mc Kinley Hill, Fort Bonifacio. It was for breastfeeding awareness. It was really fun, despite the fact that I did not train properly for it. I did manage to finish the race in 45 minutes. yeah, that was slow for me I know. But at 38, that is still something LOL.
The next race I joined in was the HSBC run, on November 5, 2010. This was in Bonifacio Global City. I clocked a better record this time at 39:45. I was realyl proud of myself for this achievement. I have included a coupe of pics of mine in this page. I use Nathan hydration belt when I did both races, also I slipped into my K-Swiss K-Ona yellow shoes which are really very light and comfy. I highly recommend this brand. I also bought a Polar watch so I could monitor my heart rate while running.
I intend to join some more fun runs. Hopefully, to establish my 10K record someday. My graduate studies are taking up most of my time lately so there's not much time left for interval runs and tempo runs.
