Running

Letran Bataan was a sponsor of this event so some of my colleagues and I decided to run.

It was the first time I’ve actually joined a running event outside Letran Bataan. Well, I’ve been running for a year now--jogging along the highway in the morning, but not so regularly because there were some weeks when I just want to sleep late either because of partying, drinking or just watching DVD’s. Let’s face it: it’s hard to wake up early in the morning!!!

But now, because of the Bataan Run for Light by My Shelter Foundation, I feel I want to make it a REAL habit—to push myself further and faster.

It’s an exhilarating feeling finishing good in the event. And I’ve validated myself now to think I’m a good runner. I was in the 5-kilometer division and got to finish it in less than 30 minutes. I was ahead of the ‘occasional’ runners, which meant I had endurance and rhythm. Well, I’ve previously joined Letran’s Earth Awareness Force or LEAF’s fun runs for two years and was always in the Top 10.

So, yeah…aside from the gym, I think I really have to run regularly now. I have to lose the weight…Badly!
