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).

Benefits of My Running

Last week, I registered for my first half-marathon of the Condura Skyway Marathon that will be held on Feb. 6, 2011. I went to Greenbelt 3 with my children. When one of my sons saw that the race kit said "21K", he exclaimed, "You're already going to run a half-marathon?!" I said "Yes." and waited for his next question, which was the question he asked when I told him that I was planning to join a 5K race, "Do you want to die?!" But no. He asked instead, "Can I have the 'dri-fit' shirt?" I then realized that this boy has also been benefiting from my running. He has been getting my race singlets and shirts (because they don't fit me). His favorite is the Mizuno Infinity Run finisher's shirt which he always uses when he runs. He also got my Nike Free Everyday 2 and Asics GT2130 running shoes. On the way out of Greenbelt 3, he asked for the free Hershey's chocolate bar. He's not getting the Coors Light. Tha

Milestone! 1st 10K All Run, No Walk Breaks! Takbo.ph Runfest 2010

Yesterday's race at the Takbo.ph Runfest 2010 was a milestone for me. I ran my 10K race all the way from start to finish. It was my 7th 10K since I started running last Dec. '09. The previous 6 were all Galloway method run-walk-run affairs. The following are the things I thought helped me achieve this: The weather was nice and cool The course was relatively flat Water stations were excellent. They provided Powerade - my favorite. A teenager (Sid) decided to run alongside me a little after 6 km. We ran side-by-side until the finish line. I now run continuously for 45 minutes to an hour, although even slower now than when I was doing run-walk-run. I'm doing low heart rate training . I wonder what I'll be able to do next ...
