unang takbo ko for 2011...it was fun! this isn't my best time. actually, worst time of 1 hour and 4 mins. pero sa totoo lang, ito ang pinaka-best
(pinaka na best pa) experience so far.
meron akong cough and my body is just starting to recover from trangkaso. i was absent last march 9 to 10 and march 14 dahil sa kailangan kong mag-pagamot. in fact, this run just came up. ahahehehe. ok, i registered almost a month ago pero di ko ineexpect na march 20 pala ang event - i thought it was march 27. anyhow, i still tried my best para bumagon ng maaga.
unlike other running events, pandesal ang kinain ko ngayon kasi walang saging sa amin. dalawang pandesal, ok na yun!? then, next stop is mercury drug to buy cobra energy drink (with ginko biloba), 100 plus and gatorade
(nag-propromote lang ako lol!) . then, go na! di ako makatulog sa byahe. medyo kabado at parang nag-aalinlangan sa gagawin ko. baka kasi mabinat ako o di kaya naman ay kapusin ng hininga dahil sa ubo ko.
nakarating ako ng maayos sa venice piazza sa mckinley hill. yes! mckinley hill! hill! may taas at baba! pero sige go fight! after getting my singlet, nag-change na ako ng get up at yun! i look hot in blue din pala! lol!
8 mins before 6 am, nasa assembled na kami for the gun fire. pag-patak ng 6 am, ayun! parang mga dagang nagtatakbuhan. in that 8 mins, walang laman ang utak ko kung di - GOD HELP ME. GIVE ME STRENGTH.
@1 km...parang nangangatog yung tuhod ko aahh! lol! kaya pa yan...give me power GOD.
@1.5 km...may pocari! yahoo! kahit ubo ng ubo, kaya pa.
@2 km...grabe, 2 km pa lang pagod na ako at tumatahol pa ako. parang gusto kong sumuka. medyo hilo ako. pero sige, i know GOD will give me sign.
@3 km...ok, kaya pa. pocari ulit...yahoo!
@4 km...ANO BA?! 4 km pa lang?! sigurado kayo?! pero sige, GOD please more strength.
@6 km...wala nang pocari? bakit tubig lang? sa pagkakataon na ito, gatorade na ang tinira ko...with this prayer in my heart...
God, I don't know if I am just overreacting pero you know what's on my mind. If this is something alarming, so be it! Thank you for giving me everything that I have and had. This Run for Hope is for children suffering from cancer in Cardinal Santos Medical Center. They haven't seen and experience the life that I had. This is for them. Anyways, thank you for giving me my mom, sisters and my girlfriend. Thank you for letting me experience to love and be loved in return. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
@7 km...shucks! pataas na! lakad muna, di ko kakayanin. kinakapos na ako ng hininga.
@8 km...weehh?! bakit konti lang ang difference? parang wala pang 1 km aahh...
@9 km...wala na talangang pocari?...i said a little prayer again...
God, I never expected this. I thought mag-quit na ako pero look at me! I am still running! Kahit maraming nag-overtake sa akin, ok lang! You know what's in my heart. I am not up to time spent. I am into the goals. Direction is more important than speed as my favorite writer say. Thank you God for giving me enough power. Konti na lang!
@9.5 km...waahh...kakapagod. another prayer...
God, tulungan mo akong mag-focus. konti na lang! konti na lang!
@9.75 km...kaya ko pa! takbo talaga!
God, thank you! binigyan mo pa ako ng power to run!
@10 km...1 hour 4 mins. Thank you God!
i feel God's presence with me. He's running beside me and giving me a little push kapag iniisip kong di ko na kaya. haayy! this is really the best experience (so far) in running. thank you God for the strength.
