Rexona Run 2012

My 4th 21K was during Rexona Run 2012. (FYI: I also run last year's event.) Still waiting for my official result as of this posting date. The run was great. Well-organized. Started on time, route was new, and the relay-portion made the event more interesting. Sharing some pics I've downloaded online. Thanks for the great photographers.

I went to SM Mall of Asia as early as 02:00 for me not to be late on the event. It pays to be an early bird, right? I was there early and got the chance to took some photos on the activity area. Sharing with you guys some pictures. I was able to stroll around because it was not still crowded.

I finished the run within my target time of 2.5 hours. That's based on the timer at the finish line. I was not able to get the commemorative key chain which the cut-off hours is 2 hours but it was ok. I still need to Outrun Myself on my next runs. It was already a great achievement for me as I had my 3k last year and look at now, I am having 21K. 

Finishers medal is great. It is in good quality. Aside from the finisher's medal and shirt it's more interesting to have the loot bag. All its content, was all worth it! Sponsors were really generous to give numerous freebies. 

This is what's inside the bag, Rexona Deodorant for men and women, Clear Shampoo, Pepsodent, Century Corned Tuna, Master Gel, Sunsilk Co-creation, Close-up Toothpaste, Surf Fabric Conditioner, Master Facial Wash, Dove Conditioner, Ponds Facial Scrub and Whitening and Cream Silk Conditioner. 

At the registration period, I've got the singlet, BIB and a deo spray. From there, the registration fee of P900.00 is already worth it. How much more after the run?! Kudos to the organizer and to Rexona for making this event possible. Will be running again next year and will outrun my previous record. Keep running everyone!

Run United 3 2012

Right after I dropped my things at home, got my running bag and went directly to Makati. I slept at friend's pad so I can catch up the 03:00 gun start of my first 32K Run for Run United 3. Luckily, Robert was free that night. It was raining heavily hard when I woke up at 02:30 and thought that the run will be cancelled but that did not stopped the organizers and the runners not to continue the last installment of the Runrio Trilogy.

I was so excited to have my first 32K run and what got me even more excited is that I can complete the medal puzzle which I started to collect early this year. Now let me show you the whole medal puzzle. I am happy I completed the pie size medal.

Official Result: 03:49:38 Gun Time, Ranked 776 out of 2,567 runners.

It was really a great challenge for me to have my first longest run ever. I can say I trained much even harder as compared when running for shorter distance. It really needs a lot of endurance training. It was all worth it. I was even injured (left knee) before running because of what happened during the activities the previous days. Check out the activity area after the run. 

With my longest run ever and with those feet aching, I really deserved a heavy breakfast. This is what I've got after the run. Just don't know how I finish my order. Haha! 

While having my breakfast, I was waiting for my other colleagues: Kevin, Earl and Cla, who also ran(21K). There they also enjoyed their breakfast together.

Overall, the run was great. Runrio Inc. is really a great running organizers. Though I've heard some problems regarding finisher's shirt. Hydration along the route was great including those bananas and sponges. Check out the loot bag: mostly medicines coming from Unilab. 

One Finishers Shirt is already been added again in my closet. Looking forward to run next year and will complete the trilogy once again.

Sharing also the pictures while running. Taken from the website, did not know that I've got pictures there and luckily I was caught by the camera. :)

Camp Benjamin: Alfonso, Cavite

Got the chance to attend a seminar with my co-employees on LS Cares and I3 at Camp Benjamin in Alfonso, Cavite. It was a two-day seminar and filled with interesting activities. 

New place and it's fun. Will share to you guys about the place for you to see and who knows you might as well be interested to visit the place during summer. That would be great for team building.

The Camp

The Infinity Pool

Check out their pool. After dinner, we had ample time even if that was already 21:00. It was freezing cold but still we hit the pool and enjoyed the night. My apologies, I don't have pictures with me during the night.

Mon's Restaurant

Their cook was really great!!! We did not have our meals and snack at the restaurant because they served our meal at the tent area but still able to check the area. I can assure you, your tummy will be full with their mouth watering menu's. I don't have pictures as a proof to that but I can assure you, 100% satisfaction guaranteed. My favorite juice is pandan!!! Yum!

Other Activities

We strolled the area and tried some crazy things. LOL. This is what makes the camp more interesting. Too bad it was not summer and that we were not able to try all the activities which I think we would all try once the weather is in good condition.

Our Event

And off-course, I will post some of the activities we did during the two days seminar. It was fun, it was really fun as I accidentally fell to the ground and got my knees hurt during one of our activities. It was all worth it.
