10, 10, 10 on 10/10

I will be joining three 10K races in October 2010.

First 10K. This will be on the 10.10.10 Run For the Pasig River on 10/10/10. I wanted to join this because it is for a good cause - the clean up of the Pasig River; it is attempting to break the world record for the biggest number of participants in a road race (I think the target is 120,000) - I want to be part of that; and the route for the 10K is different - Ayala Ave. to the SM Mall of Asia.

Second 10K. The Fort Running Festival on 10/17/10. This is my wife's goal first 10K race and I want to run with her. This race also features a personalized bib which is cool.

Third 10K. Adidas King of the Road (KOTR) 2010 on 10/24/2010. This was one of the biggest and most talked about race last year, which was before I started running. It is also one of the most anticipated race this year. So, I joined this to experience the hype (and get the Adidas singlet).

Goal!!! My First 5K - Century Tuna SuperBods Run 2010

I achieved my 2nd short term goal - to run a 5K race! The 1st was to run continuously for 30 minutes and I did that last Dec. 2009. It took a while to achieve this one because of my injury which prevented me from training in January and early Feb. But all that matters now is that I was able to do this. I'm not really sure about the time but it's probably between 45 to 50 minutes. My initial plan was to just run it as easy as one of my training runs but maybe because of the energy of the race and the crowd, I ran it a lot harder. I was spent at the end of the race. My heart monitor read only 17 seconds in Zone 1! Only 2 minutes in Zone 2! 5 minutes in Zone 3 and a whopping 38 minutes in Zone 4. Definitely a recipe for injuries and/or over-fatigue. I guess I'll just do races at most once a month or else I'll risk injury or over-fatigue. Aside from finishing, what's great is that I didn't re-injure my plantar fascia and even if I was really spent at the finish, I w...
