Personal Best

My personal best was 50 minutes for 5K, and that's the farthest I can run. More than that, I think I'd die midway. Haha. With enough training I think I can go for a 10K on the Mizuno Run on Aprill 11. But! Before anything else, I'm still holding my head high and proud because I beat my 50 minutes this morning in Ready, Get Sweat, Go!, the Pocari Sweat Fun Run. This morning, I ran for only 43 minutes for 5K! Woo!

It is Otsuka's first time to organize a fun run, I think, and I have to give it to them for having 1,800 registered runners. That's 300 people more than expected! ;) But I hate how the water stations weren't very functional. They're placed in strategic places but I know that they weren't strategic enough when I started coughing because my throat was already extremely dry!

Anyway, less rant, more photos!

HAHA. This photo, FTW. Sorry, I'm just so overwhelmed. I wasted a month without training and yet I beat my personal best!
Mom beat her personal best, too, with 38 minutes! Woot!
My brother, Gabe, was supposed to run 10K, but he has a basketball game in the mid-morning. No, he didn't run 3K. He ran 5K, we were just being goofy. Hahaha.
Look who I met up with at the starting and finish line? David! Hahaha! Great job on the 22 minutes, partner!
Beads of sweat. Let's go, thesis! (More beads of sweat there. Haha!) Missing Meryl. Sis, run with us soon, ah? :>

After today, I have set a new goal: RUN MY FIRST 10K! It comes with a condition, though. I'll only run a distance of 10K once I get a 30-minute 5K run. Woo!
