The missing Takbo.ph Runfest experience
It was a good day to run. The weather forecast said it was going to be a cloudy, cool morning. Just right for the 6AM gun start for the 10km runners which my wife and I belonged to. It was our comeback monthly run after not joining one last month.

Most of the runners in this race are already well-acquainted. The frequent Takbo.ph forum-goers. Those who always meet each other and have their photos taken after every race. They were happily chatting with each other while doing their warm-ups and waiting for the race to start.
At least that’s what I think they were doing because you see, I was still in bed. Yes, I decided to stay beside my wife who had a bad case of cold yesterday and and felt sluggish to run today.
I didn’t mind missing the opportunity to finally meet other Takbo.ph peeps. I didn’t mind not being able to grab a loot bag that I paid for. Actually, I’m happy that I spent the morning in bed with my wife instead of running alone. At least now we have the singlet so we won’t be a stranger anymore to other Takbo.ph peeps when we wear it in future runs.
Sorry Jinoe for not being able to have finally meet you. I bet you did a bang-up job organizing this run. Maybe some other events. Didn’t get to see Noelle perform too. I wonder what she did. Hehehe.
Anyway, I’ll be checking the forums later today to see how everything went.

I’ve always been interested in joining fun runs but I think I need to get in shape first. All those years of smoking had its toll on me. I already stopped so kelangan lang mag-prepare for these kind of things.
you should join if you don’t mind paying to run. hehe. pero seriously ok yung mga singlet lalo na yung sa adidas KOTR this october. palaging panalo yung adidas run.
adidas this october??? sounds interesting, gusto ko din makitakbo eh. naging fad na kasi. well, at least there’s a fitness revolution going aside from being ‘in’
yup oct. 24 to be exact. adidas kotr. First run that I ever joined. haha ambagal ng 5km ko dito.
Will you be joining the Rexona run this Sunday?
unfortunately hindi eh. no planned run for august yet.
