I survived Run United 1

Run United 1 beneficiary is GAWAD Kalusugan (the health program of Gawad Kalinga) and Hero Foundation.

What can you say about it?
This is my first time to join Run United and I wish to complete this to Run United 2 and 3. During the event, I thought I can’t make it to the finish line because I am having trouble with my left knee. It was aching when I reach, I guess, 3K to 4K so I need to stop running and do the brisk walk or run slowly. I keep telling myself, “You can do it, man! You can do it!” And when I reached 8K I pushed myself to run until I got into the finish line. So, I must say “I survived RU1!” By the way, the event was very organized and congratulations to the organizer and the staff of the events. I am looking forward to the Run United 2 and 3.


Active Health Expo
Activities, booth, freebies, etc

Why join?
I join the event because I want to change my boring lifestyle into a healthy lifestyle and to have a strong body as well. Indulging me into this kind of activities helps me to stay fit and improves my body and minds.

Reason to run:
My goal for this year is to run 16K which I need more practice that’s why I joined running. Also, I want to have a firm/lean body.



The Runners


How did you get started running?
It’s me and my friend’s idea to join the Milo Marathon, last 2010. It was just an awesome experienced; we enjoyed a lot during those events. And the second and third run that I joined was “Run for life” and “Run for hope”. I stop running last year, I don’t know what happen, and maybe I was lazy to register or to practice every weekend. But now, I am back to the world of running! Lol!

Sharing with you the top three tips of running from Jaymie Pizarro of thebullrunner.com:
  • “Listen to everyone, follow no one,” said Lance Armstrong. You’re the only one who knows your body. Do what you feel is right.
  • Start slowly. Don’t run too fast. Don’t run too far. Don’t do both at the same time! Start gradually to ensure that you’re injury free. No rush!
  • Enjoy it. Don’t take running too seriously. It’s supposed to enhance your life, not take over.

  4. Hey nong, congrats! Hope you make it to top 500 next time. Hehe.

    Sometimes the page loads slowly so the upper part is dark. I think that's what Bart is referring to.

    Have a happy weekend!
