Thank You
I checked takbo.ph the day before in order to find out if there was going to be a MOA group run in memory of the late President Aquino, but I didn’t find any – I decided to run anyway.
So at around 6:00 am, I was already geared up and waiting for the rain to stop or at least for the disturbance to “downgrade” itself to a drizzle – but everytime it does, it comes back again forceful than before.
I texted running friends Isko and Ian wondering if they would also run.
Isko was already running at The Fort with BR and the hardcores, while Ian was rowing.
The rain – as if the heavens were mourning for the loss of a great leader.
By the time I decided to run in the rain (it’s difficult to dry your shoes in this weather) Ian texted me that he can join me in my MOA run. So we parked our cars in Esplanade and off we went to enjoy an easy, relaxing, refreshing albeit wet 12k – a much needed run for both of us; and what is important is that we were able to pay tribute in our own little way to our former leader.
Thank you, President Aquino.
