Endorphin overload!

I ran a half marathon today.

I can't believe I was able to do it. Joining this fun run was even an impulsive thing; I was staring at the ceiling mga Friday morning and I heard the ad on RX 93.1, and I was like 'Wow sige I want to join that event'. I was supposed to sign up sa short distance lang, say, 5k or 10k. But when I got to High Street yesterday, hindi na pala puwedeng mag sign up dun, sa 21k na lang. Argh but I really wanted to join so I was like 'Fine. I hope I don't die.'

Hahahahaha. It's my ultimate dream to run a marathon someday, and I've never thought that I could finish a half-marathon this soon. It is so...fulfilling! Hahaha!!

Pero eto, I was 30 minutes late for the run cause I woke up late. Pero ok lang kasi siyempre kahit naman on time ako as if naman I'd win, hahaha. I just wanted to finish the run so I didn't care much about my starting time.

I crossed the finish line after 2 hours and 30 minutes. I stayed on a pace that I could maintain throughout the run--I never stopped, but there were times that I slowed down a little, lalo na sa uphills. It was not at all easy! I wasn't really prepared.

I think doing RPM almost everyday and running at least 15km per week really helped build my endurance. I never really trained for speed, hahaha endurance ok na yon.

The only preparation that I did was this:


Carbo loading with Carlo in Amici!! How I missed eating real food. Hahaha.

On the way up to the Buendia Flyover! First 3k ata ito (I can't really remember)

Yesterday naman was the launch of RPM 43. Grabe. Insane. FATAL! But I love it, this release sure is different from the others.

I must say track 5 is the craziest. Feeling ko mamamatay ako dun. Tracks 4 and 6 were supposed to be rest and recovery time pero bat ganun, parang di naman ako nakapag pahinga, hahaha!

Pero ang galing grabe. This is something to look forward to every...day? Hahaha. And I was so happy that my two favorite instructors were the ones who presented during the launch!!


My friend Js and me with Les Mills certified RPM instructors, Hannche and John!!

Hehe. I heart RPM. Too bad I can't attend later nor tomorrow because my legs feel dead.
