Hello I’m back! This month I’ll be joining all 21km races namely Eco-Dash, RotaRun and New Balance. I should have joined Milo San Pablo race (another 21km) first Sunday of this month but I ended up staying in the hospital four days prior to the race day so I wasn’t able to prepare. Anyway come this Sunday, I’m planning to finish 21km within or below 2:17. Why 2:17? Let me show you my race results for 21km so far:
1st 21km race : 2:37 Botak Paa-Tibayan
2nd 21km race: 2:27 Globe Run for Home
3rd 21km race: Plan to finish at least 2:17
If I’ll be able to achieve 2:17 on Sunday, I plan to do 2:07 for RotaRun then 1:57 for New Balance Race. If I don’t do 2:17 on Sunday, I’m back to drawing board and will do changes on training. As you can see, yup I plan to improve my time by 10 minutes for the next 21km races. I know its pressure for me but somehow, I thrive and enjoy the pressure I put myself into. Success on each race is just so sweet I’m always looking forward for improvements on succeeding races.
They say when you join a marathon; it can either break you or elevate you into another level. I like to believe I’m in the latter part. The disastrous marathon performance I’ve experienced gave me an opportunity to put more emphasis on discipline and hard work on my trainings. Indeed, my succeeding races after the marathon were all PR, although I believe I can improve it more. So see you guys on Sunday and I hope we all improve!

(syempre di ko makakalimutang iblog to)
I remember I claimed my New Balance shirt last week when two guys approached me and said “pare kamukha mo yung guy sa Men’s Health Magazine”(translation: buddy, you look like the guy in Men’s Health Magazine). I pretend not to know and just said “yeah so many people told me that, but really it was just a look-alike”. But in reality, it was me! Hehehehehe!
The interview was conducted two months ago. It was all about how I lose weight by running. Although I was 150lbs during the interview, I’m happy to report that I’m now 138lbs. Three more pounds to lose and I’ll be in my optimal running weight! Running..you gotta love it!
