I promise to stay true to the title of this post and not write more than 50 words . After all, I don’t want to flood this article with my ranting. Note: if the images appear to have a greenish hue, it’s because of envy.

As you can see, I had a grand time taking photos and watching from the sidelines. Not!

Good job, Ana! Hope the Running Consiglieri draws inspiration from this no-show to train smarter. I wish you the best in your recovery. Come back stronger for our 3-way race. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Oo naman. Bitin kung walang 3rd place.

Onga naman brah. It would be a hollow 1st or 2nd place for the two of you.

Methinks somebody’s gonna content himself with 3rd place until the proverbial bell rings.

3rd place o-kay lah…I take anytime, can already. Hehe…

“Wifey en route to a 1:28:27 finish in the 15k”…Walang hiya ang lakas ni Ana! Take it easy Mel, mas matagal recovery period natin sa mga panahon na to hehe

Lakas talaga. Had we raced to the finish line (with the 15-min delay in the gunstart between the 15k and 21k) sigurado talo ako. Re injury, I’ll try to run an easy 5k this weekend. It will be two weeks na rin eh. Sana ok na.

Wow, runner na talaga si Peach!
Looks like you had a field day there, seriously. As the cliche goes – “If you can’t beat them, take their pictures.” 
Hope the ITB’s better, bud!

You’re right, Julius. Runner na talaga si Peach. Watching from the sidelines can also get the blood flowing. I was so stoked watching all those strong runners cross the finish line. Short term goal – must be able to run pain-free as soon as possible. Medium term goal – beat that amazing kid, Michelle de Vera. Long-term goal – sub-20 5k. Libre naman mangarap.m Hehe.
