1st Run for the Year 2012: New Balance Challenge 2012
- New Balance Challenge 2012
While everyone in Cebu was early awake in preparation for the 2012 Sinulog Festival, I in the other hand, in Davao I woke up early this morning to prepare for my first [definitely not my last] fun run of the year 2012 – The New Balance Challenge 2012 hosted by the Run Club Davao.
It has been most likely six months that I stopped joining fun run activities and finally, I’m back. This time, I’m limiting myself to two Sunday Fun Runs in a month and will still continue my TTh night runs at the park.
This first fun run for the year is something different. Hah! Got lots of freebies and I won a pair of New Balance socks. First time in the history but that was not for the raffle. That was for those who wore New Balance Shoes.
I promised myself this will not be my last fun run since I have realized that when I stopped running for six months, I had a hard time in running back and beating my previous times. In this run, I finished 5.5k for 44mins. and 16 secs. via Strider [using timing chip - http://strider[dot]ph]. Not bad though because as far as I can remember from my previous runs, I finished 5k for not more than 32mins.
Pit Senyor to the Cebuanos and more runs for me!
If you want to stay healthy, try running.
To be honest to you. I don’t like running. I can run I just don’t like it. I can walk and push my daughter in the buggy miles and miles or carry her in my shoulder. That makes me fit, other options is go for swim. That’s good for you. Keep it up! Stay fit and healthy.
