Mandaue Run for Life 2010

I just had my PR for 15K so far today.

--01:26:36 HRS--

It was a good run for me, who only practiced 2 days over the weekdays (it rained almost everyday). I believed that I could have been faster but still felt great about my current accomplishment.

I ranked # 90 today.

I also saw several local personalities today running for 15K. There was Yong Larazabal and his beautiful wife, Donna Cruz. There was former Cebu City councilor and a marathoner Mr. Joel Garganera along with Mr. Atan Guardo and many more familiar faces.

I saw a high school friend, Ivan, who was running for 10K. I believed it was his last run for this year since coming August 11, he and his wife will be going to Canada for good. I wish you good luck my friend.

I thought I was the only Lear Runner participating in the race but Mr. Toto Damandaman passed me by after our short chat. He said he was late when the 10K runners where released. But anyhow he was way faster than me, 15K where released about 5 minutes earlier than the 10K runners and considering that Toto was late. Wow!!!

About 2 kms left, I sensed there’s a lot of air left in me so I tried to run faster. I believed I even overtake a least 10 15K runners and to see the clock way earlier than my expected time, I was so happy. I just wish the route was correctly measured to 15 kilometers or more.

The best part of today’s run was the “free” massage after the race sponsored by IPI. I waited for about 15 minutes for my turn but it was worth the wait.
