Back in February of 2010, which my high school friend and I coined as our "Fitness Month", we tried jogging regularly. She works in one of those Fort Net buildings (forgot if Cube or Square, haha), so I went to her office every other night right after her shift at around 7pm, so we can run (or attempt, haha) around the safe streets of Bonifacio Global City.
Wapake ako noon about my
porma, I even ran with my
pambahay shirt and shorts, and then just borrowed mom's (
pwede-na-pang)running shoes.
But if there was one thing na bawal na bawal ko maiwan, it's my iPod Shuffle. Nakakaganda ng pacing sa takbo, pang-tanggal ng attention from the time na parang ang
baaaagaaaal when you're exercising. I was anticipating for the next song from my playlist, not the end of the hour.
It was June 2011 naman when I experienced my first ever run, held around MOA grounds that started ng sobrang agang 5am.
It was an independence day run, thus the red shirts.
We were late, kaya pinatong ko nalang yung shirt (haha). Memorable ng run na yun, to place it bluntly, tumakbo ako ng
walang tulog, medyo nakainom the night before,
at asa quarter life crisis. ;p
Independence Day na talaga when I reached the finish line! LOL.
Flash forward to 2013, here's an exciting event to look forward to this October! This time, I think I am healthier (though still not an inch of a runner!)...
I'll be joining the Rexona Run 2013: Run to Your Beat!
Run to Your Beat is the 4th year of the Rexona runs. It is the first ever multi-sensorial run where LIVE MUSIC pushes people to run further, and culminates with a PARTY at the finish line!
Mar
Corazo, Rexona Brand Manager says, “This
was inspired by the insight that when you run to the beat of the music, you run
faster, you go further, you’re energized to Do:More!”
The run will be held on October 20 at the Mall of Asia Grounds.
Delta
Street, Sandwich, The Diegos, DJ Mia Ayesa, Deuce Manila and DJ Nina will be at the gun start (3am) to pump things up.
The
10k race will get the chance to run to Funk Avy and DJ Khai.
Then party up at the finish line with Rico Blanco, Elmo Magalona, and DJ Mars Miranda!
Imagine a run with live bands and DJs - naiimagine ko na the runners bouncing at the same beat!
Coach
Rio, Rexona partner and running expert says, “It’s been proven that listening
to music unleashes your energy, allowing you to run further.” Ang cool maexperience to!
Registration is ongoing till
October 13, at
Riovanna stores in BGC and Katipunan, and in
Tobys outlets in MOA and SM North The Block. Register online
