All Terra King of the Mountain + post rants

Even though that it is a messy weekend, I was able to enjoy at least the run in Timberland. It was my first trail run and I really enjoyed it because:

1. Change of route (sawa na ko sa Fort, UP at Manila route).
2. Challenging obstacles such as rocks, grasses, extreme uphills, potholes, snake(?), dogs, extreme downhill
3. Shirt was so cool (dry fit material which I could use for some run)
4. Dirty shoes (amp kasing-kulay ko yung sapatos ko pagtapos)
5. Siomai - the best siomai and mango juice breakfast this year
6. Subaru girls - enough said!
7. Crowd - 200 participants really made this race special. Less crowd means more organized race
8. Trophies - unique trophies talaga (made of bamboo)!
9. Accessibility - Well, I sort of got lost going to the venue (darn GPS doesn't work)
10. Takbo.ph peeps - wherever there are takbo.ph folks, there is always fun!

They declared that they will have the same race on June during the rainy months. Will I be joining it? Of course, I love to see how we can run on the muddy hills even if it is raining!

Trail Run is now part of my fave running event! :)

Immaturity

Punyetang immaturity yan!!! Sometimes people tend to be immature but they need to know that it has a great impact to other folks. Ang hirap talaga tsong, tapos sakit pa talaga sa ulo! Being selfish will only cause pain na ayaw mo rin mangyari sa iyo.

Bakit kasi sinasara ang isip pag mainit ang dugo? Wala tuloy pinatutunguhan ang mga nagagawa. Hay... Sana talaga wag kang makarma sa mga pinagagawa mo at nakakainis na. Pasalamat ka at hindi ako mabilis magalit kungdi...

Kala ko pa naman magiging happy na ko starting yesterday pero may pagkakataong mabubuset ka ng di inaasahan (tangina talaga...)

3 races for April

Registered for 3 races this April 2010:

- Mizuno Run (April 11) - 15K
- Nat Geo Run (April 18) - 10K
- Sundown Run (April 24) - 21K

April 24 is also the date for the HP Charity Run while the 25th is my graduation. I'm still thinking if I should do a 5K run the following morning (baka mamaya lawlaw dila na yung status during the ceremony!)

I need to get more mileage for my 1K goal at the end of this year. I want that 1K Bald Runner's club shirt so badly! :)

Go 1K mileage!

Thursday Malas

Well, today is not starting good as I expected:

• Nagising akong late so I wasn't able to keep one of my schedule.
• Naubusan ng battery yung alarm key ng Vios. Amp, umuwi pa talaga ko ng bahay para lang makuha yung spare. Buti umabot ako sa grace period ng Number Coding. (late ko na rin napansin na iniwan ko pala yung wallet ko sa bahay which includes my license)
• Missed another meeting due to in-flux of issues in work. And they disappeared into thin air after 30 mins. (gademit!)
• Expenses this week due to thesis has increased by 3X more than expected. Budget is now getting low and I need to tighten my belt.
• Last minute changes are killing me :(

I dunno how to repel such things from happening but I should be more careful next time. Para atang may kumulam sa akin. Hay, may on-going turmoil pa which is also giving me a hard-time.

Sometimes gusto kong gamitin yung quote ni UltraRunner "Ultra-running doesn't need thinking". Kung pwede lang ganun para sumimple ang buhay :(

God, please help (kailangan ko ba kayong suhulan?)

Impatience took its toll

Yes, I am impatient. I don't like to wait and I always look for ways to hasten everything up. But this is a bad habit as I ended up doing additional work or stuff to worry about. Like today, due to my impatience, I need to repeat something again from scratch. Sayang ang resources! :(

I should have consulted my adviser before I did it. Although it can be done, it still wasted a lot of effort to finish something very important.

Hay, need to have more patience or else I'll really grew old in turbo mode.

Revisions...

Ang daming pinapa-revise sa paper ko. Hay, kala ko pa naman tapos na ko :(

Wala na namang tulugan to.

13 km away from being half-away

During the start of this year, I swore that I will be reaching my 1K running mileage by the end of this year. Tracking my progress, I'm only 13 km away from reaching half of it already. Trainings and more races (minimum of 21K per race) and I'll be on my way to being member of the 1K bald runner club.

Wish me luck! :)

Towards the light at the end of the tunnel

A dream with 3-years in the making... Two more weeks and I'm finally free from the University again.I will get to build again the things that I have lost along the way, the sacrifices I made to get it and regain the life I put aside to gain it. Hay, it was a very tiring journey but I really hope that I will be able to get what I worked hard for.

A few more days... kaunting tiis na lang... sa wakas, makukuha ko din siya...
