A Simple article I wrote re running for our company
These are the photos of me taken last 13-Sep-2009 during "Ayala ECO Dash 2009." I ran the 10k race (my 4th 10k) which started at 6am, it was raining cats and dogs and the winds were also blowing hard on us that morning because of typhoon "Nando." The scene that I remember the most was when we were traversing the Buendia flyover, throngs of runners braving against the storm, all having that determined look in their eyes. I cant even find the right words to describe how it felt... It was awesome... It was surreal... I was able to finish the race with an official time was 56m and 04s and was top 50 placer out of 500+ that ran the 10K race. Not bad for someone who just started running competitively just this year!
I remember my very 1st 10K race a few months ago, I struggled from gun-start to finish and I was very close in quitting the race and just go back home thinking that "I just cant do it." But no, I didn't back down nor was my spirit broken. After the race I realized that I have broken down the walls that my own mind have built to contain me. I have realized that I was not only competing against everyone, but I was also competing against my biggest adversary, MYSELF. From that point onwards I was determined to improve race after race, to do better each and every time I put on my running shoes and pin my bib number. Before, I said that finishing a 10K race was impossible, now I am currently planning to run my very 1st 21k race before the year ends. I realized that impossible is nothing but a mere word.

I hope that you guys also try (competitive) running in the near future, it's fun and it's a great way to stay fit and healthy. You can also run with your loved ones and have a great time together. It builds bridges to other people and reinforces existing ones. It's also a great way to rediscover yourself.
I hope that I inspire you guys.
Looking forward to hear your running adventures!
