My Very First Race Singlet.

The Hyundai Run for A Cause was my first running event. 

Being my running de-virginizer,  I shall never forget the feeling i felt during the event -  The simultaneous assault of fear and excitement, and the Glory after crossing the finish line.

"kulang pa! Nabitin ako!" i remember saying to my friends after finishing, i felt at that time that i can  run another 5k or more. After recovery i trained harder than ever, pushing my mileage to the more than 30% distance increase per week (i know it's wrong but i was very very hyped then). 

As i now sit behind my desk, criticizing myself for not braving the bad weather these past few weeks, I think to myself that i should enroll to a gym as an alternative to road running.  :s

What about you? When and How was your first running Event?

My Nike Lunarglide +2 (Chlorine Blue + Wolf Gray version)

I got this sweet pair of Nike stability shoes from RUNNR last March 27, 2011 as a preparation for my first 5k event which was the highly successful Hyundai Run For a Cause. Event photos are available here.

The first time i saw this chlorine blue shoes, i already fell in love with it. but, i thought that i should first at least have my Gait Analyzed to have the best running shoes based on my anatomy.

Luckily, the Lunarglide gave the best over-pronation correction of all the three shoes I tried (they let me try an Adidas and a Mizuno).

I am running with this pair for over two months and i have gone to love it so much to the point that i am using it as my daily walking shoes. My feet feels very pampered when i am using the lunarglide 2 because of its dynamic support and cushioning that my feet now gets sore whenever i use my "flat" walking shoes. I hope that this shoe will last torture these upcoming months as i am now training for longer races.

below are other pictures of my Lunarglide +2 

In conclusion of my first blog post i am leaving you guys with an inspirational running quote:

Life is short... running makes it seem longer.
