I had 8107 steps yesterday. Eventhough my legs are still hurt because of the 10K run last sunday I had succeeded in the first day of challenge. And great news! I slightly beat my time from 1 hr and 32 mins I was able to do 1hr and 25 mins in the 10K run. Wohoo!

The first thing that I do in the morning when I woke up is put my fitbug on my pocket and walked around the house. After eating lunch, I went to Puregold with my officemates and bought grocery stuffs that I will be cooking on weekend. And going home, I walked from the office to ATC and I took the ride in Festival so my steps increased because I had walked in 2 malls. Hehe. Before I sleep I cleaned my room dahil kinabit yung bagong wall fan ko. Kaya nakapagwalis pa ako. hehe dagdag steps din.

First day of 7x7 challenge. Pag gising ko kanina eh sinuot ko agad ang fitbug. Well hoping I can achieved it because my legs are still recovering from the 10K run that I did yesterday. Yes, I joined Condura Skyway marathon run for the mangroves 10K category. Woohoo! I did it again. I guess this was my best 10K run that I did for the past 1 year I am running in 10K category. I am still waiting for the final results from the organizer. I can feel that I beat my 1hr and 32 mins time from last year Condura skyway marathon run for the dolphins.

Dati talaga I am not in too exercise and running. Ang tamad ko kya! Badminton lang ang sports na nagagawa ko before. I started 2010 in joining the running events because my high school friend invited me to try it. And natuwa nman ako when I finished my 1st 5K run I still remember na ilang araw akong hirap makalakad after that. Until now nag-join pa din ako. Well it is expensive I admit but I don't know why I am still eager to join. Haha maybe because here I can prove to myself that I can finish whatever I started. It also made me feel confident, strong and a healthy lifestyle. Nag stable na din ang breathing ko dahil hindi na ako ganon kahinggal pag tumatakbo. It also gave me happiness ewan ko ba napagod at sumasakit na mga binti at katawan pero pag nakakatapos ako ng run at mganda ang oras eh masaya ang pakiramdam. (masokista? haha) Although my weight doesn't loose a lot. Haha medyo malakas pa din kumain kasi.

I had my lists of the marathons that I joined. I thought I would be stuck in 5K category pero dahil sa Condura Skyway Marathon naglevel-up ako sa 10K para lang maka-akyat ng skyway because 10K lang ang pinaka-maiksing category para makadaan ng skyway.

I hope I can continue joining in the running events pero baka bawasan ko na this year kasi medyo magastos. Hehe.  I will choose na lang the events that I am joining. I still have my gym and I can jog at the back of our building.

Wohoo I guess I am ready now for my 10K run on Sunday. I am joining the Condura Skyway Marathon - run for the mangroves with my friends. Yes it is in Skyway! Ahaha. This is my second time to join in this event. Last year it was for the Run for the dolphins. This was also my 1st year anniv of running 10K category. So I prepared myself and hoping to beat my record 1hr and 32 mins. Haha wish me luck! Me and my running buddy (highschool friend) will try to do 1 hr and 20mins. Well it seems that my breathing while running is already stable but my legs are not yet. Thanks for my gym routine my cardio is getting better! Last night I had done 4 continous small steps jogging and it's my first time to do it. i can't able to go faster and i don't know why i can't stretch my legs while jogging. Haha I guess I will just keep my cross fingers and pray harder to finish the 10K course with my goal.

Participating in fun run made me realized that I can do running! My high school friend was the person who invited me and pursued me to join in fun run. I am not really a runner because I am lazy in doing that. hehe. Well my sports that I usually do is badminton and thats all. But when fun run became patok eh medyo sumali sali na ako kahit me bayad. I had already 3 runs this year and there will be 2 running events that I am joining. During the fun run, I am not purely running because if I do the continous running my legs maybe broken. haha. I run, walked, drink and took pictures for souvenirs. My preparation for the fun run events are training by means of jogging once or twice a week and sometimes badminton once a week. Siguro one of the reasons din na I was hooked in this running is because I had my friends na masipag din sa pagtakbo. Mas masaya kc if you are running with friends. Running also develops confidence, healthy living and determination in finishing early in the race. Masarap sa pakiramdam na nakakatapos ka ng isang bagay na pinaghirapan mo. Nakakatuwa din makakita ng ibang tao during the run, may ibang pagod na pagod at masaya. Nagstart ako ng 5K and I wish I can level up. hehe. And that's running.
