My first half-marathon at Run United 2 2014

I survived my first half-marathon at the recently concluded Run United 2 last Sunday. This year, I dared to be fitter and more active so I went back to the gym sometime last March. Prior to Run United 2, I joined the Yakult 10-miler last March and a 10km run in Ateneo for the Kythe Foundation last April. These two races plus circuit training at the gym made me confident to take the plunge and run my first half-marathon. I’m also excited to take my new running buddy on the road, my Mizuno Wave Rider 17, I love using it at the gym and I can hear my new shoes roaring for some pavemen action.

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!
