this is the only shot I got with the event before I run...
My first 10k run
When Piolo Pascual started to give his prayers to all the runners I can feel my heart beating so fast, sabi ko this is it, wala ng atrasan na to. Thanks to the brother of Jaime for talking to me at least kahit papano my fear got lessen, but looking to the eyes of all runners you can see the excitement and really eager to start running plus papa Piolo is standing at the podium looking so hawt.
I was telling myself I’ll try my best to run near him too bad my best wasn’t enough the actor runs so good and fast! Maybe he knows marami humahabol sa kanya---that’s totally given. So there when the DJ started calling the 10k runners, I almost peed to my shorts and almost forgot to put on my chip! While trying to squeeze in and move at front the crowd was so tight that I can’t move anymore.
When I started running I remember I was saying my prayers and was shouting “Allahuwakbar!” I was trying to get some strength from it. Prayer works. On my first 15 minutes I was a bit proud that I see some people from gym behind me, “NAKS!” I was having the feeling of “eat my dust!” but that was just in the beginning when I reached the high way in kalayaan I was running out breathe ang hirap! But I was forcing myself not to ever stop sabi ko pa “it’s all in the mind!” but my right knee is already shouting for help so I needed to stop and walk, but I was fighting not to stop and continue to run so pinilit ko, alam ko, kaya kolalo na when I saw the photographers starting to take some snap shots! I was like, there’s no way these guys will caught me walking! Dapat all my snaps are me running not walking!
I saw some familiar faces while running, I waved and shouted when I saw Jaime, feeling ko kasi I’m near their level na (since they’re running 21k) we had same route. Mr. Narnian looks so serious so I didn’t bother screaming his name we just waved and move on! Some FF people were smiling at me kahit di ko naman sila ganon kakilala. When I reached Makati Av e he was the reason for me to stop and WALK (again!!!) My ultimate crush-the reason for all this gym madness----CARLOS AGASSI he looks so fresh and HOTter!!! He’s like a Japanese expensive teddy bear stuff toy!!! He just made my day! Complete!
On my way back my right knees is complaining again, I think I have to believe on Jaime’s advise I need to replace my Nike shoes and replaced it with a good running brand shoe like New Balance (I didn’t realized Nike Shoes is not that really good for running though) I can see the finish line now,and was telling myself not to stop! It’s not going to be a good end if I end m y finish line walking! So I keep on running deadma sa pain! I need to feel how it is like winning! I need to feel how is like truly finishing a run! And errr I need to look really running on my pictures! (one of my motivations! Lol)
Glad to finish my 10k! and now I can really say, I am a runner! YES! And I’m excited come Sunday for the Menshealth Urbanathlon . I went to Runnr store at the Fort just a while ago and check some shoes as always they cost an arm and leg! But I am decided to replace my shoes and get a new one. Im considering New Balance but Mr. Narnians suggestion was the best: Adidas Tempo so I have to decide before my run for Menshealth.
i have to leave the event while everyone is still enjoying...Need to be at work by the afternoon.
