adiNation of Runners: Ortigas Group

When I first heard about the adiNation, I become skeptical. I just found the venues too far from my place. I just thought that I can just do my running in UP's academic oval, or simply have it back in our home. However, I just can't figure it out on how am I going to run alone. That is something that keeps me at home rather than running along the busy streets.

But on second thoughts, seeing that there is one session to be held at Ortigas, the nearest among the venues, we opted to attend the session. I just told myself that if we were able to attend the UNILAB clinic at the ULTRA, we surely can attend this one at Ortigas.

And so there, RunningAtom and I attended the adiNation of runners last Wednesday at Ortigas, in front of UA&P with Sir Luis Arcangel (The Gingerbread Report) to spearhead the activity.

Honestly, I was at first hesitant making friends with the runners out there. I am thinking that I am no runner - only a jogger. And that a number of them already soar as high as the Bataan Death March (102KM). WOW! Before, all I ever wanted was a 42.195K (a full marathon). But now, I am already looking forward of losing my sanity at 102KM. Anyhow, I am glad that I had made friends with these elite runners and am looking forward at knowing the do's and dont's of running. At the same sense, I wanted to improve my endurance when it comes to running long distances.

See you on Wednesday!
