First things first... my congratulations again to my friends eric and sockie for having Kandace (their first born child) kahit medyo late ang greetings, better late than never :D. We (with STE pips) attended Kandace baptismal at Batangas last Satuday Morning. Good to see you guys again :D

Also raced that Saturday afternoon at Sta. Rosa, Greenfields Area ( sunset run ) with Mike and Stell and some usual faces in my previous company. The race felt good, i registered on the 10K category. although it's considered as my first official race, ive been running just around our village for more than a year now, so i did not hesitate to register on that category. On the other hand, 2 weeks before the race, i slightly hesistated on the 10K route, because of my slight injury, that the 10K route would aggravate the injury, i even thought and planned on mingling with the 5K race route even but mike said their bib color was different :D so i was stuck to eat my fried chicken on the 10K route haha :D

So there i was... a newbie! on fun run / races, i ran on my usual slow pace that i always used in our village.. no pressure.. i just wanted to finish the 10K without additional injuries. funny thing was, on the first water station... i was expecting a cup of water to be handed to me.. so i passed the fisrt table and the volunteer handed out a blue square sponge *anong gagawin ko dito sa sponge na to? iinom sa sponge?* so i placed the sponge on the table and then saw the pile of water cups and grabbed one... (saka ko na lang na realize na para sa mga pang-basa pala nila ng ulo yata yun or something... hahaha :D )

Cons of the event and the day itself.... the traffic... a heavy... stagnant at nakakagutom na traffic, very weird traffic situation that day! and after the run, we went to tagaytay for dinner and coffee and arrived at home past 2 in the morning :D, its been months since i went to tagaytay, the area has evolved alot! gone are the amkor days that it was just a sprint getway on summer to get to tagaytay for coffee :D

so the goal for the next races.... to finish a race having a pace of 6 mins and 30 secs per km... *gimme 3 months, nyayhahaha.. i hope* :D
