Sana ang LOVE para na lang exam, para kahit gaano karami ang mali, yung tama pa rin ang binibilang.

Venue: Quirino Grandstand
1st big event organized by HyperSports Philippines Inc., the support from the running community is overwhelming. Runners from different groups all came in and acted as if we are one. The atmosphere was very lively and good vibes are felt all over the activity area.
Me and running buddy John Paul came in past 4:00am, greeted familiar faces, got everything ready for the race when we bumped in with Running Atom himself. It was nice to finally meet him in person (he even took a picture of us) and had a short chat.
Here is a picture of me with one of the ambassadors of Diadora also known as Diadora Philippines Running Team and the picture he himself took with me and running buddy John Paul Lipardo:

A few moments later it was some sort of a "reunion" of for the attendees of weekly trainings at Philsports Arena (formerly known as ULTRA) which I was a part of and thus named as HyperSports Reserved Energy B&G. Short talks but mostly photo-ops. It was nice to actually start the race with your training buddies. Here are some photos of the so-called "reunion" while we are waiting for the opening remarks and warm-up activities:

I was fortunate enough to finish this race, by 8am, the sun was really scorching the road and is draining my energy, hydration was scarce on the last 5 kilometers and I had to make do with what I have left. As a member of the HyperSports Reserved Energy B&G, I had to gather what is left in me in order to finish. With the sight of crossing the finish line and receiving my medal, I rallied onto the last 3 kilometers of the route and was lucky to have a photo taken on the last 1.5 kilometers. As you can see here, I was the lone participant at the vicinity when the picture was taken.

On to the last stages of the course, I did a run-jog-walk method until the finish line and making a final attempt to stride on the last 40 meters. By the finish line are the friends eagerly waiting my arrival to provide support and cheer me. I felt that I was the luckiest runner that time. The finisher medal being hung around your neck and friends who wanted to immortalize this memorable event in my life by taking a picture of me at the finish line. Here are some pictures of me before crossing the finish line and after receiving my medal. I appreciate the team waiting for me.

After that, it was another short photo-op for the members of the HyperSports Reserved Energy B&G, with our running coaches and the Running Host, Sir Boy Ramos (it's nice to finally meet and greet you). By the way, good job on hosting the event, you truly are a certified HyperHost.

After all this, it's breakfast time at Chowking! We headed to the nearest one and ate our breakfast, of course not with a few more snapshots to immortalize this rare opportunity to eat together as one happy group. We join similar fun runs but not do we have this kind of opportunity to actually have a meal together. It was perfect!

As I always say in my previous entries, "It's not the food, it's the bonding." Nice to see some more runners dining in at Chowking with us. The environment was so lively, as if most of us did not run 21 kilometers. Smiles all around, it's refreshing!
Until next race HyperPeeps :)
Thank you so much to all my running friends who took pictures of me while I am about to cross the finish line and received my medal. Mabuhay po kayo!

Human Brain Analysis - Man vs. Woman... a Must Read!
Source: Trivia Mania
1. MULTI-TASKING
Women - Multiple process. Women's brains designed to concentrate multiple task at a time. Women can Watch a TV and Talk over phone and cook.
Men - Single Process. Mens brains designed to concentrate only one work at a time. Men can not watch TV and talk over the phone at the same time. they stop the TV while Talking. They can either watch TV or talk over the phone or cook.
2. LANGUAGE
Women can easily learn many languages. But can not find solutions to problems. Men can not easily learn languages, they can easily solve problems. That's why in average a 3 years old girl has three times higher vocabulary than a 3 year old boy.
3. ANALYTICAL SKILLS
Men's brains has a lot of space for handling the analytical process. They can analyze and find the solution for a process and design a map of a building easily. But If a complex map is viewed by women, they can not understand it. Women can not understand the details of a map easily, For them it is just a dump of lines on a paper.
4. CAR DRIVING.
While driving a car, mans analytical spaces are used in his brain. He can drive a car fast. If he sees an object at long distance, immediately his brain classifies the object (bus or van or car) direction and speed of the object and he drives accordingly. Where woman take a long time to recognize the object direction/ speed. Men's single process mind stops the audio in the car (if any), then concentrates only on driving.
5. LYING
When men lie to women face to face, they get caught easily. Woman's super natural brain observes facial expression 70%, body language 20% and words coming from the mouth 10%. Men's brain does not have this. Women easily lie to men face to face. So guys, do not lie face to face.
6. PROBLEM-SOLVING
If a man have a lot of problems, his brain clearly classifies the problems and puts them in individual rooms in the brain and then finds the solution one by one. You can see many guys looking at the sky for a long time. If a woman has a lot of problems, her brain can not classify the problems. She wants some one to hear that. After telling everything to a person she goes happily to bed. She does not worry about the problems being solved or not.
7. WHAT THEY WANT
Men want status, success, solutions, big process, etc... But Women want relationship, friends, family, etc...
8. UNHAPPINESS
If women are unhappy with their relations, they can not concentrate on their work. If men are unhappy with their work, they can not concentrate on the relations.

Run United 2 2012 - My First Attempt To Run a Half Marathon

Maulan ang Sunday na ito. May bagyo (daw). Walang problema. Sabi nga nila, Rain or Shine, the race will commence. Napasubo naman ata ako. Yan na lang ang nasabi ko sa sarili ko. Kung matatandaan ninyo, 10k ang aking normal distance. Pero sa pagkakataong ito, ako ay susubok na makatapos sa aking unang half-marathon.
At dahil ito ang aking first time, nakahanap ako ng isang magandang motivational para sa umagang ito - "Start unknown, finish unforgettable."
At nangyari na nga. Simulan natin na pagsunod-sunurin ang mga pangyayari. Maagang tinungo ang SM Mall of Asia para makasakay sa shuttle service papuntang Bonifacio Global City para doon simulan ang takbo.
Malakas ang ulan ng mga 2:30am hanggang mga 3:30am pero parang nakisama ang panahon at tumila nang bahagya ang nasabing ulan. Nagsimula ang 21k run nang umaambon na lang. At sa unang pagkakataon, wala akong masyadong larawan habang tumatakbo, bukod sa maulan na, gusto ko lang na matapos kaagad ang aking napiling category. At ganoon na nga ang nangyari, run-jog-walk ang naging strategy ko. Mabuti na lang at sagana ang hydration. Malamig na Viva Mineral Water at Powerade ang sumalubong sa bawat runner sa bawat hydration stations. Pagkatapos naman naming lumampas sa 10k mark, napakaraming saging at sponge naman ang bumati sa mga 21k runners. Kahit umuulan ay kailangan pa din natin ng sapat na hydration dahil pinagpapawisan pa din tayo, hindi lang natin masyadong nararamdaman dahil sa umuulan at malamig.
Ang aking initial estimated time of completion ay mga 03:15:xx; natapos ko ang aking run ng sobra sa aking estimation. Ang official result sa ibaba.

Gaya ng nabanggit, wala akong masyadong picture sa unang 21k run ko bukod sa isang ito na kuha ni Dianne Salonga (Barefoot Curlydianne).
Maraming salamat sa mga photographer ng Unilab, may mga picture ako bago tumawid ng finish line. Narito ang tatlong nahanap ko sa website ng Unilab Active Health:
Wala akong masyadong napilahan na mga sponsor booth ngayon pero sinigurado ko na pagkatapos kong tumakbo ay nakapunta ako sa runner's lounge para naman makapag-stretching sa tulong ng mga volunteer Physical Theraphy students ng University of Santo Tomas, narito ang ilang mga kuha:
HIndi rin nagtagal, nagpapicture na din ako sa aking mga kasama sa araw na ito - ang mga kasama ko sa trabaho na sinuportahan ang unang half-marathon ko. Sila naman ay tumakbo sa 10k category. Sa susunod pinapangarap ko din na makasama silang tumakbo ng 21k :)
Ngayong nakatapos na ako ng isang half-marathon, napapanahon lang din ang pagkakapanood ko sa isag video clip at lalo akong namomotivite na makatapos pa ng ilang 21k run dahil sa sinabi ni Coach Rio Dela Cruz bago matapos ang clip - "Don't be afraid to exceed your limitations."
Masaya ako at napatunayan ko sa sarili ko na kaya ko pala. Kaya naman pagbubutihan ko sa susunod. Ang aking susunod (dapat) na 21k run ay sa Run United 3 na sa September, kaya lang nalaman ko lang nitong biyernes, June 30, 2012 na ako ay isinama pala sa mga tatakbo ng 21k sa July 8, 2012 para sa Get Fit Run 2012 (ang original registration ko ay 10k - dahil nalaman ng mga coaches ng HyperSports Philippines Inc. na nakatapos na ako ng aking unang half-marathon kaya marahil ay binigyan ako ng upgraded race kit. Kaya naman pala hanap kami ng hanap ng pangalan ko sa 10k ay nailipat na ako sa 21k. Magandang follow-up run na din ito at tamang-tama lang para sa aking mountain climbing adventure sa sumunod na Linggo.
Dahil unang 21k finish, dapat may solo picture ako kasama ang aking unang 21k medal at finisher shirt :)
Paumanhin sa late post, naging busy lang ako nitong nakaraang dalawang linggo pero ngayon ay unti-unti na akong makakabalik, tapos na kasi ang aming taunang Sports Fest.
Running for love
