Surviving 15 Km & K-Swiss Ad

I think i almost passed out this morning trying to finish my 1st 15Km at the Globe's Run For Home Race this morning. It was soooooooooo hot & humid. I'm so glad it was a well organized race with LOTS of water stations and cold water sponges. It was a pretty sosyal race LOL!! The route was different that's one motivating factor and my first time to run along Ayala Ave, going towards Greenbelt Malls, all the way to Fort, Mckinley.. Overall I had fun except for the heat.

I didn't have the camera with me, so no pictures to share, sayang!

Anyway, peeps out there who follow IronMan Races should know Terenzo Bozzone!

Here's a link from my earlier post about him. He's the Champion at the 1st Cobra IronMan 70.3 here in the Philippines last year. This month, he competed at IronMan New Zealand and finishing 2nd with an awesome time 8:30:00. My goodness, the PRO's.. they fly!! He was part of the new K-SWISS ad, shot in California which i think was so cool. In the ad, you'll see him biking & running.



I'm so happy that I'm so into sports now. I really feel healthier and I encourage all women and mothers to go into sports!

Happy weekend!

So Much Respect for Pro Athletes

Today is the Ironman World Championship 2009 race at Kona, Hawaii. I am a recent convert and had great interest or should I say obsessed on triathletes and what they do. What I meant was, I had so much respect for them, they are very disciplined in their training to achieved what they have become. You don't become an athlete overnight, it requires perseverance, discipline, self control, giving up things that you like to do, etc. Same as our spiritual growth, it requires the same endurance & training.

I am glued to IronMan website live stream from 6am-10am. 

As some of you may not know, Ironman World Championship in Kona is the holy grail of all IronMan competition. The race started in Hawaii in the 70's, consisting of a 2.4 miles (3.86 km) swim, a 112 miles (180.25 km) bike and a marathon (26 miles 385 yards, 42.195 km) run, raced in that order and without a break. Check out the more detailed info on Ironman. 

Today's winner are

Craig Alexander -1st place overall-Man, from Australia

Chrissie Wellington - 1st place overall Women from Great Britain

My favorite, Terenzo Bozzone from New Zealand placed 11th overall.
