It has been a couple of months that I did not join any fun run due to busy schedule in dragon boat training and races. When I saw that Rexona Run will be having an event this year, I decided to register. Rexona Run is the only run I anticipated to join because I am busy with other sports activity. My great experience about last years' Rexona Run made me decide to run again this year. See it here! 

With Roxanne: running and paddling mate :)
Run To Your Beat was the theme of the Rexona Run for this year. It was cool! Run Rio Inc. organized last year's run and they got it again this year. New theme was great. There are already activities happening during the claiming of singlets in SM Mall of Asia few days before the event date. I got a memorable experience on that but I cannot post any pictures here because I was not able to bring my cam when I claimed my singlet. It was all fun that I won a price, it's deo! Hehe!

It's blurred... LOL
My running experience was terrible. Terrible in the sense that I was not able to beat my previous records for 21K. I went beyond my target time which is 2.5 hours. I know I did not trained hard for this run because of some other activities. I realized that training is very much needed when you plan to beat your previous records. I thought that my training in dragon boat paddling will be enough to sustain my running capabilities but I was wrong. Still a good thing that I managed to finish the run safe and sound.

Post activities were great! Live band made every runner enjoy the event. Sponsors are within the vicinity and provides free services like foot massage and giving out some foods and drinks! Free photo booths were also situated in the race venue for all the runners who wanted to have a photo opt for the event.

Another 21K Finisher's medal was added in my collection. How was that?! Feeling so proud of myself that through running, I was able to test my limits. I was able to prove to myself once again that everything is possible with a great determination to succeed. Another running experience which made my inner desire to conquer another 21K soon!

Love this New Medal!

Freebies will always be included after crossing the finish line. Got so many products inside my loot bag. That's possible one week supply of shampoo and conditioner and even a month of deodorant to keep me fresh 24/7. Looking forward to run again next year for this event. Thank you Rexona! I can always do more, with Rexona! 

Game On!

Freebies!!!
