The Fort, Taguig June 7, 2009 I woke up this morning remembering the last Mizuno run I participated in last year, and realized…haha! I ran 10KM there and I’m still running the same distance today. I’ve always believed that when you want to do something…the trick is to always believe. That’s what got me going for awhile now, but this time, I know the sequel to that is: consistency is the key. Race started at around 6:00am and as usual, I got to open the race kit in the car already, after waking up from a 3-hour nap. Yes, a nap. I usually sleep light before a race…and it’s only usually before a race that I do get to sleep.   Mizuno – Infinity Run Time Trials 2009: 10K Race   The killer word: Kalayaan! It never occurred to me that such a liberating word could actually trigger something traumatic from the past. Haha. The first time I joined an event with this route was in Adidas King of The Road in 2008. The words that came out of my mouth after: NEVER AGAIN will I join any race passing through this flyover. Then again, if you’re the type to never check the map online before having yourself registered for a kit…then never say never 😉 Botak was the second for me passing through Kalayaan (some of my so-called-rantings can be found somewhere in this so-called-blog har de har har) and my only reaction: I shook my head and wished I’ve put sunblock on. So I decided to not complain and just finish the race as soon as I can. I got to the turn-around point at about 00:34– beating my personal time for previous 5K races, but a little after that, I think...

  So I hung out with the ladies (Ava was home sleeping argh!) at Nike, Greenbelt (beside Powerbooks) to buy their stuff, went to Chimara for Joanne’s Santa Fe, and Irene’s NY Fries. Somehow, I got persuaded to run 5k on Sunday. Sometime before I went to sleep last night, I found out that I will be running almost a quarter marathon…!!! It took me several seconds to let it all sink in. I have an ongoing mild asthma attack (prolly due to allergies that I am yet to be aware of as I haven’t had my allergens test for this year). Hmmm … Suicidal? I don’t think so. I love life. Well, I THINK I love life because I’m about to let myself experience it at the speed of 10 KM an hour....
