Sugod Silang post event run

Since the event venue is just in our town and we arrived early, we got the chance to join the warm-up exercise and run briefing. There are only two division category which are the 1K and 5K. I joined the 5K, the route as I said on my pre-race blog on this event was simple as you can see but half of it going back to the finish line was the hardest. I must admit it really challenged me. The cold weather helped but strong winds are difficult to handle. Did not expect much from this small and simple event but I definitely enjoyed every part of it. I was surprised that missionary couple/runner Team Logan was there. Hubby and I went to meet them personally since they are one of those who touched our lives. Even Elite runners came to join the run. I got teary eyed when students from the SPED class did a special number, I'm so bless to see them perform. Will definitely look forward for the next run to happen next year. I even got a bonus for winning a cellphone that they are giving away! How lucky is that? :) @

Here are some of my snap shots from the said event:

Sugod Silang!

For the first time I will be running in my home town for the benefit of Children with special needs. This is a project organized by Cavite Institute Alumni Dekada 80.  I'm not an Alumni but I share the same Advocacy. :)

The route seems to be simple but half way back to the finish line will all be uphill, that is 2.5K uphill run to the finish line. I am not into uphill running but this will be a challenge for I am about to run the longest uphill in my life.

There will be an onsite registration on the event day itself starting 4am, December 18, 2010. I just wish no dogs are out in the streets of Silang town Plaza to chase runners joining the event.@
