This run is a fund raising activity for indigent breast cancer patients and also fo breast cancer awareness. Well, I'll fight anything against cancer, I'm prone to it and I will fight it.
Anyhoo, I ran the 15k route since all race categories are only for 600php. Starting line is near our Head Office which is at Piazza and route will be from Mckinley Hill Area to Bayani Road and then back. I posted the map my Nike + Running gathered below for a better overview.
Race route for this is a bit challenging, I have never ran any race with so much uphill as this one. Also, the terrain on the Mckinley part is steep! As in! I even cursed because I thought it was already the end of the race, I already gave my last ounce of energy just to find out that I have to run 1km more. Good thing though, I was able to defeat my previous 10k record even with the terrain. For 15k, I am not sure, but I think I defeated it as well, I could not check since GPS recorded that the run only took 14.6 kms.
This was a good practice for my next week's race. Since I'll be doing a 21k again next week. The uphill just educated my body how to cope up with it, what works, how to stride etc. No injuries felt, ran 15k straight, also no sun, so my skin was fine (maarte lang).
I will definitely run for this race next year, it was organized properly. There weren't too much runners in the area, hydration was sufficient and I get to take home 3 free magazines. Overall this was a good experience, I just hope i can run better next time.
