When the Aboitiz Race to Reduce
posters went up in the gym a few weeks back, I didn’t hesitate in signing up.
They have a notable charity cause (the environment, which we all live in) and
as an added bonus, it kind of helps that the race course starts and finishes at
Victoria Plaza, a mere walk from my humble abode. So its no car and no
technology come race day. No carbon emissions! I helped already before I ran.
Yehey!
Somehow I ended up fetching up my
friend Jan-Jan on Sunday morning, so the car was used. Still, I can help the
environment in other ways. We then met up with Ryan, Diane, and the rest of
their “army” at the race site. They unfortunately weren’t able to register due
to slots being sold out, yet they still want to run. Good for them!
There is going to be an important
sporting event later (well, for us fans anyways) – Manny Pacquaio vs. Sugar
Shane Mosley, so we have to finish this run, get some rest, and make sure not
to fall asleep during the fight later. So its time to go go go!
Running through the Bajada area, I
noticed a small problem on the slanted road near Redemptorist Church. One
should never try to run fast on uneven slopes as you risk injury by doing so. I
almost sprained my ankle on that area, so lesson well learned.
I was no match in speed and endurance
with Jan-Jan (who already was a speed demon back in our high school days) even
though it was his first fun run (he slept in during previous tries I tried to
invite him ^_^). We met up with Ryan and the rest of his crew as that was a
good exercise to start the day. Now, with that done… on to the fight! Go Pacman!!!
