YAMAHA Run for Heroes 2011 (BGC)

After a few months of wandering in nothingness (lol), I finally got bored. I've realized that my workout routines were not as intense as they were during my first few months of trying to lose weight. So I checked online and found out from RUNRIO - the YAMAHA Run for Heroes 2011.

Just like the NATGEO Run 2011, this event was also held at the Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City last July 3.  But this time, my friends (workmates) and I had decided to join the 10K category.

We've done some trainings before this event, we ran/jogged a lot, run the stairs (to develop endurance) and monitor our food intake. Yeah, we actually made a great deal of preparation before joining the 10K. With all humility, we were not all born athletes (sorry to say my dear friends) but we have to be truthful to ourselves and learn to accept that fact to prevent from hurting ourselves physically.

Anyway, the registration fee for the 10K race costs around PHP 600. The loot bags that were given after the race were not so bad at all. There were also certificates that were distributed to the finishers, but I think even the non-finishers were able to get one.(lol)

I finished the race at 1 hour 28 minutes and 36 secs. (1:28:36). Most of my guy workmates had finished ahead of me but I believe that the important thing is that even if we had different finish time - we all managed to have fun!

There were seven of us who joined this event, myself was not included in this picture.

It got really addicting after the Yamaha Run, so right now, we're totally eyeing to join half-marathon events (21K) hopefully within the next couple of months. We still need more practice though, we don't want to develop any injuries by forcing ourselves to jump right in the long runs.

Chao! See you in my next post!
