Race For Life 2013

November 30, 2013

Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City

I think this is a yearly fun run for the scholars of Real LIFE Foundation. I am not into sports, but love to try anything (as long as not extreme). Ms Girlie invited us to join this event since this is also for a good cause. She was also part of this event last year.

We don't have warm-up actually, not even days before. In short, we came "not prepared"! We don't have water in hand. We simply just run for fun, specially me. At about 500 meters, I'm already looking for water. I was so thirsty already. There's no 24 hour stores along the street. Oh gosh, I thought I gonna faint that time. My hearth so aching badly. Catching my breath just like I'm dying (OA feelings but true). So I decided to just walk instead of running. Since we're buddy (Rich), he has no choice but to wait for me. So basically, we just run for 2 seconds, then walk for 3 minutes. Hahahaha! Until we've reached the water station in 2.5KM. Thank God, I was relieve after that! The water tasted like heaven (exaggerated). Then another run and walk until we reached finish line! Natapos din!

Overall, it was fun! For the first time, it's like, I have to race for my life. And I love to do it again! Hopefully next time, I'll be prepared!
