2010 Runs

Now, I would like to share my running experiences with fun runs I've joined so far. Actually, this is another collection of mine - Race Bibs and Medals (not to mention of course, the race singlet but I won't be sharing them here as some are already weary). I'll just start with a collection of Race Bibs for 2010. I don't have medals yet by then because I join the few kilometer runs.

Maynilad Health Run for a Cause 2010
Maynilad's Health Run for a Cause - October 2010
My first run! This is co-sponsored by Smart Communications (my former employer) that's why we have discounted rates here; my workmates enticed me on joining and the rest is history. The event was held inside the La Mesa EcoPark where Maynilad facilities also resides. I joined only 5k Run but I was totally lack of breath then probably because of the slopes of the area. The view was great since you can see many trees around. Runners were less than a thousand, just enough to accommodate everyone on narrow roads
.

Run United 2 2010
Unilab's Run United 2 - November 2010
My first Run for RunRio and Unilab. It was held at BGC (as usual) and I just joined 3k Run (since the 5k Run is scheduled the next day) so imagine the crowded streets of BGC. I think I finished at around 19minutes and I'm so proud of myself then because I didn't stopped for the whole race! A great achievement for me indeed. By the way, RunRio's service then is at its peak since they can provide the race results and race pictures and analysis within 3days; unlike now..


Run BGC 2010
Run BGC - November 2010
By this time me and my workmates are addicted to running. In less than a month after the previous, we registered again for another fun run. I already forgot how many kilometers I joined here but I'm guessing it's 5k Run. It' still fun indeed and this was my first singlet with sleeves. They also have a raffle for a brand new car but as always, I wasn't been picked.


ING Run 2010
ING Run - December 2010
This is my first time to run with my brother and our High School friends. It was their first time to join a fun run too and yours is their ultimate influence. I think this is my first 10k Run (while my friends did the 5k). I was among the last few who finished and I got an aching feet then; the worst part is, I'm all by myself on the race route. Attendees were just about a quarter of that from Run United's number. The worst part is, they have a disorganized race route and race marshals and race signage; my brother and friends got lost along the race route and led somewhere else. Good thing, they still joined me on my running escapades..

La Mesa Ecopark


This is the key chain I got from one of the stores inside the Ecopark, it is made from a recycled bottle cap (cheers for that!):

Sharing with you some of the activities we had inside the park and some awesome views:

I don't know if this is a live creek or something

As for the fees, I barely forgot them but I think the wall climbing is around Php100, the zipline is ~Php150 and the boat ~Php150. They also have an entrance fee of no more than Php50. There are also lots of food stalls inside the park which is a few hectares. We haven't tried also the air soft gun and their pretty crowded pools.
