The Green Miles Run

March 22, 2010 by Josiah Leave a Comment

A couple of weeks ago Cat was inviting me on The Green Miles Run. I didn’t register immediately thinking that the run was still 3 weeks away. I then registered on friday, they said that theregistration has ended. Since my mind was set, I was determined to run 15kms on March 21, 2010.

I haven’t ran in MOA, not for a race nor for a simple jog around the complex. Since I wanted to try this, my decision was made, I will be a bandit runner.

“For the opening remarks, please welcome Mr. Piolo Pascual!” What?!? I didn’t know Piolo was there. I didn’t know that there were a lot of delegations from the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). There was also a parade.

Ateneo Aquathlon 2010: Josiah’s Perspective

March 15, 2010 by Josiah 6 Comments

I’ve been waiting for my first aquathlon for almost a year and now I am a proud finisher of an aquathlon. By experience, now I know that it is true what they said about aquathlons, it’s twice as demanding as running and the experience was also twice the fun.

The race started at 11:30am for my age category and when the start was near it was all mixed excitement for my first aquathlon and fear that I won’t finish. The plan was simple, do not care about the pace of others and go with my own speed, my goal is just to finish.

It was 600 meters of swim first. Think about 100 men swimming on an 8 lane 25 meter pool, the probability of competitors bumping each other was very high. It was a good thing that my cousin, Enna a member of Trantados, briefed me well on this. I got kicked on the face and I got bumped many times, but it was OK, it was all unintentional (I hope). I think I also kicked someone, revenge is sweet. Just joking, it was all unintentional.

Mount Pulag Climb

February 28, 2010 by Josiah 8 Comments

One of the reasons I run is to guide people on the outdoors. I like the outdoors and I like to enjoy nature at its rawest form. I like making itineraries and organizing climbs and my climb last weekend was one of them.

After 6 hours bus ride and 5 hours of jeepney ride and the 30 minutes fun orientation by PASU Mering Tamiray, we finally arrived at Babadak Ranger Station, the jump off point of Mount Pulag via the Ambangeg trail. We talked to the Ranger and arranged for our guides and porters and started our trek.

I knew I was prepared for this climb, but the first 100 meters was intense. I could hear my heart beating and my lungs were gasping for air, this is because we are about 2,000+ meters above sea level. The air pressure is lesser making the air thinner. Lucky for me the others were moving slower, so my rest and my gasp for air looked more like waiting than a rest stop.

Condura Run 2010

February 11, 2010 by Josiah Leave a Comment

I am now a proud finisher of a half-marathon (21 km run). Though my time is really not that fast, I still have finished the race. How I got to run the Condura Run? Check the story below

The Decisiong Making

One of my target for 2010 is to do aquathlons and run on the Skyway which was only offered by Condura Run. So when I looked at the dates of the events, the first aquathlon, PSC Aquathlon, was scheduled for February 7 and the Condura Run 2010 was also scheduled for February 7. We need to gain experience for the aquathlon so we prioritized the PSC Aquathlon over the Condura Run.

On January 16, 2010 I joined the Salomon Mountain Run arranged by the Philippine Skyrunning Association, this is where I heard that the PSC Aquathlon was cancelled. After confirming that the PSC Aquathlon was cancelled, which took us about 3 days, we quickly and excitedly registered for the half-marathon of Condura Run. The problem was the maximum distance that I was training was only 8.1 kilometers since we were training for an aquathlon, and there was only less than 3 weeks to prepare for a half marathon.

The Training

Upon registration we quickly planned on how we will proceed with our training since we really had a very small schedule before the run.
