My 1st ever Organized Run

Event: Unilab Run United for Wellness
When: March 7, 2010
Where: The Fort

I feel accomplished and blessed.

Joining this event was probably one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Again, I thank JAMIE for introducing me to this lifestyle. Really, you deserve the credit I am giving to you. :)

Supposedly, the Globe Run for Home would be my 1st official run but last week when I heard that there were still slots open for the Unilab Run, I immediately thought: Why not try for the 5K 1st? That should be a good opportunity for me to train myself further. In any case, the Unilab Run would only be a week away. When I got there, I was surprised to find that there were no slots available anymore for the 5k Run. Only 10k was left. For a minute or two I contemplated and asked myself if I was ready.

I informed the lady: Ok, I'll register for the 10k run. For a moment I caught bewilderment and apprehension from the eyes of the woman on the other side of the table. Probably she was thinking: Ang kapal naman ng taong ito magregister for 10k!

With only a week to spare I trained really hard for this event. I knew I could do it. I knew it would be difficult. I knew I would succeed but never knew it would be this rewarding.

I'm glad that I joined this event - suffice to say it was very organized. I'm lucky to have been given the opportunity to be part of such an event. Kudos to those who made this Run happen.

I'm very thankful that Teoddy and Armz were also there to support me. Thanks Guys!!!

Thankful as well for having the opportunity to see familiar faces - Goodwin, Glenn, Benedict, Mari - Im so happy we saw each other there. It's been a while!

After the event, I came across Misterhubs (who was shocked that I recognized him). Pleasant introductions were exchanged.

While eating with Armz I got a call from Jamie congratulating me (HOW SWEET!!!). After which I got a call from Narnian inviting me for a breakfast with Misterhubs (can things get any sweeter than this!?!).

Watched a movie (Up in the Air) and had merienda with Misterhubs and Narnian. You guys are so funny! Ang kulit ninyo! Haha

What a day. What an event. What a way to start the week right.

P.S. Thank you CS. You made my day on the night before the event. :D
