my first marathon, sort of


as part of my ojt, i was one of the organizers of the first bonifacio global city summer run. it's supposed to be a marathon but technically speaking a marathon is at least 42 km and the event we organized was just a short 10 km, although you can also run the 5 km and 3 km lengths. which makes me think, people can actually run 42 kms? i can't even imagine myself running a kilometer! anyway, it was held on a sunday morning and i was there mga 4:30 am pero ang dami nang tao! dedicated runners i guess. had lots of fun looking at how the runners prepare and just seeing them run thru the finish line. kaka-inspire yung ibang mga tao dun actually. there are those who are extremely obese na pero they still run kahit 3 km lang just to help lose weight. wanted to cheer out loud sa mga 'yun. kaka-inspire din yung mga kids who ran the 3 km and 5 km pero when they get to the finish line, parang wala lang sa kanila. hassle! those sights made me feel so physically unfit but in the same way napapa-isip ako if i should start jogging na talaga! para naman tumagal ako sa mga medical exams... hehe.
