Farewell 2011.. Hello Running!

It was after a combat class in Fitness First ABS-CBN way back 2009 when a good friend of mine invited me to join a fun run (Kenny Roger's Roasters Run '09). I was like, hell no.. I can’t do it. But minutes after, I said to myself that sooner or later... I will conquer the roads of Metro Manila and alike..



So when 2010 came, a lot of negative things came to my life. All things that you can imagine whether it will be health, relationships alike, money, career or even myself as a person. It was until a very good friend of mine introduced me to the law of attraction. So I embraced the idea and promised myself to use it starting that day. Then, I remembered Running as one of my soon to be sport. So during 2011 New Year's Eve, I promised to myself to just GO WITH THE FLOW and use Running as its tool and don't be negative or boost up myself to any aspects of life.

I also made a commitment to myself that I must have at least 1 fun run per month. So technically speaking, It was January 2011 when I finally had my first run (5K) ever. Good thing that I was invited by my alma mater (BASTE) to join in their first fun run ever, so that’s more like of a trigger for me to start my new sport. Now here comes Condura Skyway Marathon.. February Run, and I got attracted with their tagline like "Now, the skyway is all yours for you to run and conquer!". This was also my very first 10K. Then the 10K run continues! Unilab RU1 (The Fort) got the March slot, Hyundai Accent Fun Run (Roxas Blvd) for April, Goldilocks (The Fort) and Greentennial Run for May, My Fastest 10K Run to date (1HR and 6mins) is my Mizuno Run for the month of June (The Fort), Rexona Run (MOA) for July (I liked their singlet that’s why I joined.. haha!) then Unilab RU2 for August. On September, I finally decided to take up the challenge and go out of the 10K distance. So I joined The Fort Striders with 16K for the month of September. Mardi Gras (Ansons Run) is for October, so far my worst run ever in terms of performance because it was the first time I had my legs sprained during the run 2 times! No fellow runners who were also on the path helped me to ease the pain. So I self-recovered and just enjoyed slow running. Final Leg for Unilab RU3 for November. Some sub fun runs that we joined that I considered not worth recognizing were QCIM and Pasig Run on early December. Then my December Run is currently my Best Run, which is Corregidor International Half-Marathon, placing 11th place in Mens Division.

During the running year, I met fellow runners/friends as well. The exciting part is that we all have one goal in common, and that is to put Running as part of our lifestyle and enjoy it to the fullest with ourselves and then give back to the others through charity/cause. We already formed a Running Club (Contact me if you are interested in joining as well... it will be fun!) and mostly, we also organize social events in order to release stress from different sides.

So enough with the technicalities of the story.. It was during the middle of the year I realized that I used Running not only as just one of my fitness-related activities, but I used it as an exhaust of the things that I have been thinking of during the year 2010. In Early 2011, a lot of things were crowding my mind and I need to let things loose out in order to survive. During the mentioned running events, I was able to think freely, ignoring all of the hindrances that may stop me from producing a good thought assembled from an old negative thought. I may have a target time for me to finish my run. But my real goal is to move out from the dark shadows of fear and uncertainty. I think during these events, it was the only time I can talk and think about myself, on how to move on in my life. The road is everyone’s way, so at the same time, I have to stay focused on my road and move, so to finish the race, or else you will suffer from the consequences. Yet, I am still required to move forward but it will be harder this time. Along the way, you will encounter bad vibes but some will help you move forward. But no matter what happens along the course, it will still be your own highway, and it is all about you on how you are going to move on with your life. With the help of those who surround you and the way you treat any negative encounters, you will achieve your goal. Running has been my way to sort out things and move on with my life.



During the recovery year, I found myself very vulnerable to any stuffs. Now that my Recovery Year is about to end, I will (and must) be back to my old self as a dreamer, serious, witty and an ideal person. Like Tony Stark has said, "You gotta run before you can walk".... again in this life. =)
