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. 

My BIB No

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!!!

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!
