All Right Now

// July 10th, 2010 // 3 Comments » // General

I have been dealing with health issues for the entire week. I went to the doctor last Monday for an ear infection then I was down with a flu the following day. They could be related or walking under a drizzle last Saturday afternoon then running a 5K come Sunday morning took its toll on me. Thank God I’m all right now! Not yet 100% as I am still having headaches but I had normal temperatures all throughout this day. Yey!

What’s new? I have two. I managed to squeeze them in between my bed rests. One, this blog is now mobile friendly. Go check it out on your mobile phone or portable gaming devices. Two, I started Shuriken Daily at Posterous. I rock!

34th Milo Marathon – Manila Elims

// July 8th, 2010 // 2 Comments » // Running

I’m getting ready, getting ready,
Oh boy what a day it’s gonna be!

The last run I had with my friends was more than two months ago and so I was looking forward running with them on this event. I wasn’t targeting for a PR, I wanted to experience the fun in this run.

Since Milo Marathon is the biggest, longest, and grandest running event in the Philippines; I was expecting a lot from them as far as organization is concerned. Anyway, they have 34 years of experience tucked under their belt. Sadly, I was wrong.

When the gun was shot and the 6AM-runners took off, it is only natural that one starts wishing that slots were made limited. One lane of Roxas Boulevard was not enough to accommodate the reported 20,000 5k participants. However, that might also mean fewer children receiving new shoes. So next time, I’ll happily lower my expectations when it comes to cause-oriented race with unlimited slots.
