Runnroo’s Upcoming Runs
Globe Run4Home
AKA Globe Run4127.0.0.1. Seriously, I don’t know why it’s run for home. Maybe CICC is our home?
That was the most straight route I have ever run in a race. It felt like running a tour de cebu leg. There was only one significant turn, which was the turn-around point. See the route. I also got to run SRP again!
Mr. Sun wasn’t able to show up, since there were rain clouds blocking the way since 6am until the end of the run. But that didn’t stop the heat. It felt very humid all throughout the run. It wasn’t until 7am-ish that we felt a bit of wind at SRP.
Congrats to Fred for his first ever 21k medal (or is it first ever running medal?).
Congratulations to Poy and Shiela for finishing their first 15k. “That’s enough running til I’m 30″ said Shiela at the finish line, who had a minor hardware failure at the beginning of the race (difficulty in breathing). It’s ironic since she just a won a very nice Garmin 110 in our recent company raffle draw. 
No Congrats to Mark as he is still frustrated with himself for not getting his desired time (2:10). :p
Congratulations to all of us for finishing strong and injury free!
2nd Pugalo Trail Run: Short But Sweet
I love small intimate no-frills races. I guess that’s one of the things that draw me more to ultra runs and far-from-the-city races. I feel that it is in these kind of races where you will see people who run for the love of it or just for the sake of running, without expecting much fireworks and blings at the starting / finish line.
So 2nd Pugalo Trail Run was my first 15KM organized race run. It’s the kind of no-frills, small town locally organized runs which was hard to resist and Mark is a big fan of. So by 2 a.m., we left home, picked Joseph because we’re going to check the Mantalongon, Dalaguete – Vegetable Highway after the run. Mark and Joseph plan to bike it, and maybe also do some trail runs later.
We had a quick breakfast/carbo loading at Maria’s batchoyan at Dalaguete before heading to the starting line at Brgy. Pugalo — the first barangay of Alcoy from the border of Dalaguete, Cebu.
1st All-Women Ultramarathon 50K
The Race
They say that this is the first all-women ultra race in the whole world. Though I doubt that, since the native Tarahumans have been holding their own traditional all-women races since I don’t know when. I think I’ll just leave it as the first ever all women’s ultra race in the Philippines, or Asia.
The route was 50kms long which went around Cebu city, then to the Mandaue city bridges and finally to a beach resort in Lapu Lapu.
