Week 7 and counting

Posted by maan on

Last night there were SO many people in Ultra. I run there regularly so I’m used to a lot of people running… But last night it felt like there was a race! Hehe. Team BR was there in their usual spot. Coach Rio (I assume it’s him because of the hair) kept overtaking everyone. Some guys tried (and failed) to follow Coach Rio’s pace. There was a group of people wearing orange, I think they were filming something coz they kept repeating a certain motion over and over again. Runners in thermal jackets, tights, leggings, maong shorts, cotton shirts, trail shoes (yes I saw one!). It was like a sort of fiesta, and also a sort of ‘mind your own business’ atmosphere.

Then it dawned on me – maybe all these people were doing last-minute training runs for Globe Run For Home this Sunday.

Anyways, to cut the long story short — I finally have a running buddy! 😀 Continue reading →

I want abs too. Hihi.

I was actually considering skipping the maintenance run today, because I was SO sleepy and feared that I might fall or get sick. afterwards.  But I went to Ultra to run anyway. When I got there, no one was running around the oval because there was a soccer game going on in the field. Being a former soccer player I stayed and watched – good thing when I arrived it was already the 2nd half, and that runners may use the oval once the game was over.

OHH MY LOORD. So after the game, this team in front of me started to gather around in a circle to do post-game cool down and stretching. And this guy (presumably the team captain) removed his jersey. OMG! He has abs! Aaaah. You know the kind that doesn’t look gross or scary, like those gym buffs? This guy’s abs were so perfectly formed!

I think I should’ve seen my face… If my eyes could turn into hearts! LOL! Continue reading →

1. Treadmills

Time flies SO fast! This week marks my 4th week of training for the Dream Marathon. I’m doing a 30-minute run with Cai at the gym tomorrow, on the treadmill – that should be fun, I guess. It’s my first time to run on a treadmill ever since I started running. I don’t trust the machine coz it’s really better and more fun to run on the track. But whatever, I’m too tamad to go all the way to ultra tomorrow so the gym is fine.

2. Over-overtime

I spent last weekend at the office. 😡 Maybe you’ve done that before, but I haven’t, and weekends are a big deal for me since those are the only days I get to rest and lie on my bed all day, hehe. Double pay sounds really nice but I’d rather sleep or catch up on my books than spending more time at work.

3. Globe Run For Home 15km!

I just signed up for 15k on takbo.ph 😛 WOW. Kapal lang ng mukha ko hahaha. Better do that 10k with Anne on Unilab!

PS. First post ko pala ‘to. First in a long time 🙂
