Race #23: 10 Straight Ks

Race #23
Children’s Hour Run
August 29, 2011
10K
Abrezza Mall Area
Davao City

I thought I told Ryan to sign me up for a 5K since I was doing a back-to-back (2 consecutive runs in 2 days). And this was the second run! But somehow, he signed me up to go along with him on a 10K. This run was organized by BPI for the benefit of Children's Hour, so it makes sense for him, a banker, to "push" for this race. Well, I have done harder things, and I could always stop if I wanted to, so why not? My friends Ping and Kash have also signed up for their first 10K too on this race, and my friend Zecel also invited me to run as well, and if they were up for the challenge, I should be up for it too…

As it turns out, I somehow managed to maintain a no-walk run for the second day in a row. I didn’t go as fast as the Run for Humanity Race, but I was comfortable with my pacing. I even was able to edge Ryan out for a few minutes at the finish.

My how things have changed after weeks of running. I remembered how the last few times I was still so low on speed and stamina, now I am able to run a 10K outright.

>>> Race time: 10K (1 hr 11 min)
