On my way....

Well. I can now count three participations in healthy run/walks.

Feb. 19, 2011, Fight For Air 5K Run/Walk at Sea World grounds, my first official entry in the running circuit. I liked it and it inspired me to keep training to be a runner, a good one. a professional if possible. It was fun, lots of goodies and freebies to all runners, my daugther and younger son were supposed to do it with me but they overslept. My unsanctioned PR was of 48 minutes, by my own personal timekeeping record.

Sunday March 27, 2011, McAllister Park , Get Your Rear In Gear 5K Run / Walk, promoting and raising awareness to prevent Colon Cancer by getting a colonoscopy.

In this, my second participation, I was joined by my wify, my daughter and my younger son, I wish my older son could have joined us, but I guess he couldn't. At this ocasion, Official time recorded our PR for posterity . I liked that, because now I can challenge myself to improve my timing and endurance. Here are the official results. Ana's was not officially recorded but she beat all of us hands down, by about 5 minutes. quite impressive for a first time participant.
