RUPM 2013: Exceed yourself!

Whew! Finally, the last leg of the Run United series is over. And even if a week has passed, a lot of runners can’t get over the high of finishing the race, especially those who ran the marathon, 42 km. I’m so proud of my marathoner, Jeff! He finished 42 km with no injury, and also to our friends. They completed the Run United series with 21 km-32 km-42 km race categories, exceed yourselves talaga!

10 km done! Run United 2 2013

This is my first 10 km race, and yes, I have no choice but to do a 10 km because that’s the shortest distance for Run United 2. The other distances are 21 km and 32 km (Afroman Distance). I figured I can do 4 to 5 rounds around the UP oval which is about 2.2 km, so finishing this 10 km is possible (lakasan ng loob). Jeff ran the 32 km, their gun start is at 3 am. We barely slept! We have to leave the house at 1 am. We were at the Mall of Asia at 2 am because we were worried on the long queue at the parking area. Thankfully, the parking area opened minutes after we arrived.

At 3 am, it’s race time for the 32 km runners.

Run United 1 2013 recap

Last March 17, 2013, thousands of runners converged at the SM Mall of Asia grounds for the biggest running event of the year, the Unilab Active Health and RunRio’s Run United 2013 series. Jeff and I started preparing for this race since January with weekly runs at the UP Diliman grounds. Jeff is the one with the most preparation because he ran his first 21 km, while I only registered for 5 km.
