Run for the 2nd time

Victory!!!
A big VICTORY for every runner joins the ROTARun’09. Why victory? Because waking up as early as 4:26 A.M. is a challenge already plus a decision to choose - Will I go to run or not to run? Sleeping is the best reward for me after the long hours of work tasks at hand. My friends advised “Magpahinga ka naman! Bahala ka!! Sige, sagot ko na ang Kape….” I’m not taking my health for granted and that for sure. As we start the race…waaah...Again I start running without any stretching, nyahahaJ. A wonderful and bless morning sunshine shine to all; a perfect weather indeed. As I run giving my best shot I just laugh and laugh because my sister and my dad that are ahead of me keep turning back just to check me. They are so sweet as a candy for the taught that they are cheering for me or vice-versa knowing that they are also “alaskador” as me but always on a positive note! Bwahaha… As I continue the race, I always have this beautiful smile on my face as well as to my heart and mind. I love watching others and anything that surrounds me small things to big things as I appreciate their purposes. I easily get tired when I run that’s why I need to walk. While walking, my heart is keeping on running fast like to the maximum level horsepower. My heart pounding and racing after running miles; I just remembered what my Rehab. Doctor advised me before. Being diagnosed with Lumbosacral radiculopathy I should not engage myself with any stressful activity and other alike. For the record, I’m not anxious at all as I enjoy everything. Sometimes I just need to do things for others. Why do I run and why do they run? To tell the truth, my sister invited me to run and the proceeds will be donated for a cause. This is only one of the many ways we can touch others life. While observing my co-runners, I wish that I could read what’s on their minds. I am happy watching the (a) children doing their best as they keep on running, how blessed they are and a gift for our world to have, (b) a group of students that having fun and keep on cheering each others for a great camaraderie, (c) a couple, whose keep clicking the digital camera as a treasure memories, (d) some old man despite of their age still believed that running as a form of exercise that will keep them healthy and fit, (e) athletes that always have a passion to run by all means, and the most touching is that seeing (f) a dad carrying his son while on the race that almost made me cry as I offered and shared my sweet and thankful smile for them, a perfect captured moment that give me an extra energy to continue my run and claimed my victorious 1 hour and 19 minutes as a time counter check as I finished my race as my simple gift for the polio children.
