I signed up for a 10K run.
It's one of those ideas waiting to be classified as crazy or stupid.
To begin, I hate running. Even if a gazillion studies are published as to why running is a good thing, it will always be a love-hate relationship between running and me. For one, I don't have the stamina to run more than 500 meters. Second, it bores me. Number three, feeling ko lampa ako.
I think I have just disappointed my runner friends. Haha.
Color Manila Nite Run happened on the night of February 22 at Filinvest City in Alabang. The cold Amihan wind (it is Amihan this time of the year right?) is still around and somehow made running easy with just minimal sweating. The glow sticks, face paint, and DJ up on stage gave the event a street party vibe rather than a fun run. I can just imagine how lively and youthful Alabang could be with this scenario. (Come on Alabang, time to catch up with BGC.)
In an effort to become fit and healthy, my co-workers managed to coax me into signing up for a 10 kilometer fun run. It isn't such a bad idea at all, considering I've been going to the gym since the beginning of the year. Add to that the 5km jogging sessions I do with my friends, I think I am good to go - for a 3K run.
For a first time fun run experience, Color Manila is a good start. As the crowd started to pick up its pace, I've come to realize that running isn't so bad at all. I now understood why some of my friends can stand to spend their day running. Running is enjoyable. And there were cute guys last night. (I heard Will Devaugn was among the 5Km runners.)
Will I take another fun run offer? It's definitely a crazy idea I'm going to do again. Just not soon. :p
