MY MARATHON/FUN RUN JOURNEY

||Running teaches me that I am capable of so much more than I ever imagined.||

Hello Philippines, Hello Steemianz! 😊

Sorry for being away for daaayssss, but I will make it up to you guys. 😊

So today, I will be sharing to you guys one of my bucket list that I've got to achieved before entering to my new journey. 😊

Would you believe that I was able to complete not once, not twice, oh definitely not thrice 😁 but FOUR marathon! YES! I've finished different categories in running! 😁

Why running?

At first I was hesitant to join because I don't think that I can finished the race, so I challenged myself that before I turn 30 years old, I should have one race to achieve.

People joined running for different reasons, might be to lose weight, to compete or to try something new. In my case, I want to try something new. 😊

My first race was held at Parklane Hotel, Cebu Business Park, Ayala Lahug Cebu. It was a yearly marathon arranged by the Parklane Hotel. I was encouraged by my boss to join and experience the the beauty of running.

So I signed up for 6km race. For a first timer, I thought 6km was easy and a short distance but damn! 6km was not a joke! The trail had an up and down slope! I don't even had the preparation and my stamina was low! I thought I'm not gonna make it!

But I pushed myself harder than I used to. I had that feeling, the will to continue and to see what lies ahead. I'd experience cramps, my feet was about to give up but the moment I reached the turning point I was so happy that finally I reached half of the race. 😊

Being able to step at the finish line was full filling. The satisfaction that I felt was priceless after achieving my goal. Indeed, money can't buy happiness. I completed the race for 1 hour.

My second race was held at SM CITY CEBU, it was a run for a cause, organized by Autism Group to fund their organization to help autistic children in need and to raise awareness about autism. I signed for a 12km race and finished it for 1hr and 45 mins.

My third run was held at Ayala Mall, organized by the HIV community for WORLD AID'S DAY that is celebrates every December. This race was so special to me because I've got to run with my soon to be husband. 😊 We've signed in for a 3km run. 😊

The recent run I had was our company's fun run for celebrating our 21'st Anniversary. I signed up for 20km! 😁 Imagine how ambitious I am? 😁

WHY DO WE NEED TO START RUNNING?

Running is an excellent way to improve the flow of blood and oxygen throughout the body which lessens the risk of heart attack.

Finding a running buddy or running with a group is a great way to develop a sense of community. You can set goals and accomplish them together, having a regular running buddy or running group is a great way to stay motivated to run.

Overall, the experienced I had from running was worth it. The fact that I'd finished different categories was beyond my expectation.

So what are you waiting for guys?

Let's start RUNNING! 😍

Always,
