The Practice
My sister was very excited about her first run. I could remember mine so I really understood her! Hahaha! She even had her singlet stitched the night before the fun run because I got her a medium sized-singlet and I did not notice she was getting slimmer already :-)
For our last practice, we went to Island Cove, our usual running field, the day before for some jogs and breakfast! Tatay was invited, too. Still wearing maong pants this time, he really just not used to wearing shorts or jogging pants! Hahaha! At 6AM, we were already on our feet, together with the rest of Caviteños at the Cove, jogging too and greeting each other!
Now here’s the best part… again Tatay with his rusty stories :-D
Three rounds this time and we headed straight to DCMV for some breakfast! We had our 30-year old recipe of Tapa and Sinangag with bulalo soup. Yum! Yum!
Some Side Excitement
Mangos are reeeeeaaady! After the practice, it was time for another action – mango picking!!!!!! Which gave me these allergies :-( Huhuhu.
The mangos were reallycalling me, “Hinog na kami!” Hehehe. Jelly and I wasted no time :-D one bag-full of mangos! Yahoooooo!
The Fun Run Day
Both of them woke up very early and in no time, we were at Macapagal Avenue. Amazingly, we were able to find a decent spot to park White! Weeee ^_^v We headed straight to the start line, had some few shots with the big crowd. Greentennial team did a great job in organizing this event!
… And there was gun start!
…And my sister’s very first fun run. :-) Aaaaw
Jelly finished just a few minutes after me. Then there was Ate Doll after. Unfortunately I did not beat my last time. I finished 1 minute behind but it was okay, the most important thing was I have shared a good hobby to my sister which she really appreciated.
At the finish line, it was so good to see familiarfaces. There was my ex-officemates - Ate Jing & Sheh and a college classmate – Ann!
The medal was a plus. All finishers got one! Weeeeee!
I will continue to spread the word – running is fun! I owe this experience to an officemate who was the very first one to encourage me and I will encourage others to have time for some real healthy fun. ;-)
