MILO Woman.

I am no stranger to Milo events. As a teenager, I loved to join beauty pageants. In fact in 2001, I represented our school for the Milo Little Olympics and won the best muse award. Eleven years after I am still very active in a Milo event, but this time, the 21K Milo Marathon! With hard work and perseverance, I was able to finish on time to earn my ultimate goal, the finisher's medal with time to spare! For me it is more than enough reason to celebrate, this is what I trained for.

       

Joining the Fit Filipino Movement of Coach Jim Saret and later on becoming an assistant Coach for Metabolic Fitness Boot Camp in Cebu made me become stronger, fitter and healthier. Being a serious marathoner is not that easy. Once you start running 10K and beyond there are several things you need. The need to have a good training, the need to tune your legs for an uphill and downhill routes... Of course your body needs to have enough sleep and carbohydrates, Carbo loading at least 2-3 days before the run is a good preparation. I also find time to search the web for some good running tips. They really help.

Always remember, when your legs are tired run with your heart. Until now, I still couldn't imagine myself joining marathons. It was a huge turnaround from being a girl who just loved to eat and now running 21K marathons. Watch out 42K!

Best Times:

32K: Citigym Halloween Run 2012 (4:38 min)

25K: 3 Bridges University Run (3:13:51)

21K: 36th Milo Marathon (2:25:59)

16K: Run for Justice (1:54:43)

12K: Hunat Sugbo (1:24:00)

10K: Armscor Run (1:07:15)

8K: Run for Gifted Kids (1:01:00)

6K: World Heart's Day (39:13:15)

5K : 2 Heart's to Beat Charity Run (28:49:69)

Amazing Weekend.

It really feels good to be a podium finisher!

The day before the run I was sick, I had fever and an upset stomach. I felt awful and weak but still I was really hoping and praying that I can run during the weekend. It would be my first ever back to back weekend run.

Saturday dawn, before the race I took medicine just to make sure that I would feel better during the run. I put my very best and pushed myself to the limit despite my fever and miraculously I finished 3rd! Yes! My very 1st podium finish at a time of 1:08:34. I was in the 3rd place of the 10K Women's Category, Born in Cebu Maternity House Run.

Came Sunday the next day, I was once again getting ready for World Hearts Day run. I just ate peanut butter and bread, took my meds one more time to make sure that I will have a smooth run. Feeling sick during the run would be a huge problem for any runner.

When the race started I tried not to walk and just do a sprint and jog combination. The training that we had in Maria Luisa really helped me a lot especially during the uphill part. However, I had to walk when I reached the 2nd water station (4km) for 30 seconds then did a sprint and jog combination again. I finished the 6K run in 39:13:15 and ranked 6th place in women's open category.

Looking back, it was indeed the most amazing weekend for me as a runner. Being sick and all, I knew that God was with me that weekend. Without him, I wouldn't even have the strength to finish the race.

During the awarding.
