5K run to Quirino Grandstand
heeeyyy it’s my first time to join a fun run! and i did it because it was cheap hahaha you’ll hardly get a cheap run like this (at least for ‘the’ runners hehe). it was fun! mainly because i’m with my friends so there’s the free transpo, the laughtrips and blah. i miss those days. hayy.
hmm, the race wasn’t so organized in my opinion. the worst thing was that they made the route straight and not a circuit so it’s like after reaching the 5k finish line, you have to walk/run 5k back to get to your cars which are parked on the starting point. so much hassle. haha and it didn’t feel like 5k too. i remember practicing for this on the treadmill and it usually takes me 1 hour to reach the 5k mark, and thats like 4.5k brisk walk + 500m run haha during the run i like walked 90% of the time and… basta… it didn’t feel that far to me. haha
and also, it’s so easy to join the race even without paying! just wear a red shirt or buy a singlet anywhere and run! there were no race bibs or whatever and at the finish line it’s so easy to get a certificate. seriously, i even got to ask for 3 extra copies. they were that loose. hehe
anyway, not bad for my first time though i really got a super bad headache after and it stayed until the next morning so i had to take half a day off to rest. sobrang ewan. haha >XD
oh, daniel matsunaga was there! plus a couple of super models who were only there for display. really, they’re running with a super fit singlet and boxers. so infuriating. what the hell are you there for? they could’ve at least invited derek ramsay or drew arellano or or… uhm daniel padilla hihi … or angel locsin or reema chanco… you know, people who actually run or at least know a sport. hay. haha
but for the fun and company, it’s a very good experience! >:D
