The Results Are In

The race results of the Kenny Roger's Urbanite Run was released yesterday. Here's a glimpse of my run last Sunday. It took me 43 minutes to finish the 5km race. And got the 231st rank!

It's so nice to join races with micro chip because you can check on your stats afterward. However, the drawback is the costly registration fee. But yeah, it doesn't matter when you see the results online.

Til the next run, I'll train more to get sub40 or less. :D

Under the Night Sky

Kenny Rogers Urbanite Run - 08/15/09

Facts about this one-of-a-kind run:

-This happens to be my first 5k run. I prepared for two weeks and finally got a decent pair of running shoes.

-I was frustrated because I forgot to bring my camera during the event. I almost went back home just to have this event documented. Good thing my friend brought his digicam.

-While the commentator was doing the countdown for the 5k run, I was rushing from Krispy Kreme. (hehe! late carbo loading)

-I successfully completed my 5k run but failed to see the time I stepped on the finish line. I was blinded by the lights. (amf!)

-I got to pose for the class pictures of the Takbo.ph people.

-My right knee became swollen after the race. Too bad. Time for RICE method.

-A hug and kiss from someone special after the race is one of the best things in the world.

Running in the Rain

I run around Boni yesterday with Takbo.ph peeps. (that's bryan, mccoy, jaycee, yours truly, loren and alan)

PR of 10+K, improved endurance and fun in the rain.

More runs to come. A week and few more days to train for the Urbanite.
