PSE Bull Run 2013: Takbo para sa Ekonomiya

This was my 3rd time to join this event, parang panata na rin kumbaga, i dunno, first run of the year kasi palagi and what a good way to start the year by being fit and join events like this, saka interesado rin ako sa stock market kaya it's my way of sharing my passion, lalo't we are already experiencing a literal bullrun to our stock market.

Woke up at 2am, and left the house at 3am, sana lang hindi ma-late. Arrived at Ayala at around 4am, syempre confident ako na maraming runners na sasakay sa jeep pero I was wrong at walang laman ang jeep to market-market so I decided to walk/jog my way to Global City since malapit lang naman siya based sa GPS ng phone ko, which is around 2.5kms away, texted sir Ian na hindi ko na siya ma-meet at mag start na ang race for 21k pagdating ko dyan.

Walkathon na nagsilbing warm up ko na rin for the event

Hindi pa maganda ang tiyan ko which is always the issue lalo na pag ganitong sumasali ako ng race, naghanap muna ako ng convenience store pero sadly malayo siya at baka mahuli na ako, kaya ayun, diretso sa portalet at sinabog ang sama ng loob, haha!, sana hindi naman ako masyadong nagtagal at baka nakahalata yung mga nagaabang sa pila.

As expected, race got started at 5.50am which is kinda late compared to other running events, kumusta naman ang init nito mamaya, buti nalang umaayon ang panahon sa amin, thanks!

Thanks PinoyFitness for this one, talagang tumatanda na tayo, halata na at hindi ko pa nadala ang bonnet ko para matago, nyahaha!


Survived 10k, rank#309, 1hr 13mins 48secs, a new personal record!

with fellow mountaineer/runner Sir Ian Torres

akala ko ako lang nakapansin, pero yung ibang runners na may GPS sports tracker, napansin rin na parang hindi tama ang sukat ng race at malaki masyado ang gap niya, like in my case sa 10k run, almost 11k siya kung tutuusin, considering na rin na halos seconds lang ang gap ng official time against mine, anyways it's a nice thing to know na i beat my personal record, salamat na rin siguro sa pagakyat ko ng bundok at pag practice kada weekend, hope to break the 1hr barrier this year, Amen!

Thanks again Bullrun for another memorable run this year, syempre aiming for the 4th run next year, hope to see more of my friends/colleagues na sasali next time, kudos to the organizers and congrats to the runners who overcome physical and mental challenge!
