32KM Peak Long Run Done! ✅ My experience, a miracle happened to me, realizations from training

A miracle of provision. Una sa lahat, salamat, Lord, dahil sinustain Mo ako. I woke up at 3AM, got out by 4AM, and got home around 10AM. Hahahaha grabe ngayong iniisip ko, That's already 7 hours of my day gone just for the marathon training...tapos nag-shower pa, kumain—para na pala akong nag-full time work just for the training. But thank You, Lord, more than anything, especially dun sa miracle na ginawa Mo kanina. Dabes Ka talaga. Let me share with you now what happened. I brought 200PHP cash with me as I usually do kapag long runs. That's for buying water, pocari, etc. Unfortunately, nung more than halfway na ako, nawala yung 100PHP ko. Baka nalaglag kung saan kasi yung maliit na bulsa nung running belt ko, maliit talaga. Cramped yung money doon so iniisip ko, baka nahulog nung may pinasok akong barya, or kinuhang ibang pera. Natira sa akin, barya. Limang piso. At talaga namang nangyari siya in my longest run when I decided to run to a place I know na makakasakay ako pauwi—i...

random thoughts on public parks, government projects, corruption, change

Okay. One take lang 'tong write-up na 'to. Hindi ko 'to aayusin or ipapalinis kay AI. I will write by whatever comes to mind. Feel free to follow my train of thoughts. I was supposed to write this on Threads, pero dahil medyo ang daming pumapasok sa isip ko at ayokong mag-take ng time to clean it up and be "Threads-friendly," I decided to write here. Tagal ko na rin namang hindi nakapagsulat so, there you go. Okay. So I started by writing: Sana yung mga nagpapagawa ng mga mall-mall, samahan na rin nila ng malalaking mga park na maraming puno, maraming upuan, at malawak na mga walkways, 'no? Lalo ngayon na mas marami nang mga pinoy yung nahuhumaling sa physical activities like running, cycling, pickleball, etc. Siguro kung hindi lang talaga kinukurakot yung public funds, ang gaganda ng lahat ng bayan sa Pinas. Malawak at platadong mga kalsada, public parks na maganda at name-maintain at hindi tinutulugan ng kung sino... Mga bayan na hindi binabaha kasi may prop...

random thoughts on blogging, running, etc.—

 Hello. Writing this because Perplexity keeps on hitting a wall with the deep research I want it to do. Nanonood din ako ng Paris Olympics 2024 Men's Marathon. Wala lang, na-share ko lang. Nakakatawa kasi March 17 lang yung una kong takbo since high school, so that's more than a decade already, and now all the content I consume is about running—The Running Channel, Philly Bowden, Ben Parkes, couch to 5k/10k/Half/Full Marathon videos—lol. Nalimutan ko na kung ga'no kasaya at kasarap tumakbo. Sabi ko nga nun, ang sarap nung feeling. Parang ang laya-laya mo. It was like you were made to run. And I think we are made to run. So ayun. Thank You, Lord, sa privilege na makatakbo. And I really am enjoying the training na sponsored ni AI. Haha. So far, effecive siya and nag-post nga ako kanina—from 10:30/km, nasa 9:45/km na siya—same effort, faster pace. I have yet to see kung ano ibubuga ng katawan ko in my tempo/threshold runs starting May, pero for April, let's keep it chill ...
