35th National Milo Marathon 2011

35th National Milo Marathon 2011
July 31, 2011
SM Mall of Asia
Distance: 10K
Result: Chip Time 01:03:11 @5km 00:30:08

After having three 3K distances, I think I am ready to conquer 5K distance. I went to SM Mall of Asia to register for my first 5K on the 35th National Milo Marathon 2011 - Manila Elims. To my dismay, 5K distance has already been closed. Because of my eagerness to run on the said event, I strongly registered myself for 10K distance. 

My BIB No

It was then I challenged myself to train even more because I will be running 3x more than the regular distance I used to run. Running during the weekends and even after office hours just to make sure I can finish my run strong.

Great things come from small beginnings and I can attest to that. I finished my first 10K run good enough for a newbie runner like me. The event was pushed through even with the stormy weather. It was all good. At first, I was really nervous because 10K is a no joke for a newbie runner like me without even proper training. Another milestone reached and I am happy that I conquered 10K successfully. Now looking forward for same distances and even longer distances in the future. 

another achievement :)
