Ran/Jogged/Walked 16.8 kilometers today at the Adidas King of the Road 2011. For the past few days I thought I could not finish the race since my training consists of only 1-2 rounds in the Academic Oval in UP for the past 2 weeks. But I am happy that I finished 16.8 kilometers on just almost 4 hours of sleep last night. Congratulations also to my wife, Tin who ran her first 5k race.
But the highlight of the race was not on the race day itself but on running/walking with my wife and 2 kids (ages 2 and 4) in UP almost every other day. Mika will join her 1st run next month on the McHappy Day Family Fun Run 2011 where she will participate in the 1k run for kids.
For Tin and I, our next race might be 10k in the SMDC Quezon City International Marathon 2011 on December 4.

Just had my first 5K run today at the Run, Run for Children’s Fun 2 in MOA organized by the PTAA (Philippine Travel Agencies Association).
It has been a long time since I ran (or walked sometimes) for 5K , but I finished the race and as a father this is the start of my commitment to having a healthy lifestyle so I can be play with my kids (and grand kids in the future) even if I am already very old. I was supposed to join the other races a couple of months back but my recurring knee injury kept me from joining but I am glad I am able to finish one and will join other races in the next few months.

Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers and grandfathers:)
