After weeks of dilly-dallying on whether to proceed or not, the wife and I had finally booked our hotel for Baguio next month.
Of course, the inclusive dates of that 3-day, 2-night stay will be on the weekend of the Baguio21k race in which I have just (as in pahabol TODAY) registered for the 10k event (since registration closed last week for 21k). I hope the wife doesn't notice a trend that I suddenly suggest an outing here or there whenever an interesting race outside Manila pops up in the takbo.ph's race calendar. (wink)
I ran in Botak Baguio last year, finishing 10k in 1:09 after having introduced to a hilly (as in tama-na-ang-paakyat-ayaw-ko-na-po hilly), oxygen-reduced route. I hope to redeem myself in this year's edition by beating said time so I guess it's back to McKinley Hill and Bayani Road for weekend long runs (breathing through a straw?).
Kitakits!
Pare, ako rin, nahiritan na rin ni boss ng "Do all of our trips have to revolve around running?!" Kibit balikat na lang ako, sabay kiss. lol I signed up for Mayon 360, and pinanindigan niya - she's not going with me. "Mag-Mayon kang mag-isa mo," sabay walk-out hahaha!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with those hills!
"Do all of our trips have to revolve around running?!"
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! I heard something like that from the wife too sometime back. Hehe, I guess nasanay na din. Ang selling point dapat dun eh "we get to explore the beauty of our country blah blah..." Hehehehe...at least my wife enjoys the occassional trip outside Manila. I hope di nya mahalata kase parang maraming races outside Manila this year. Hihihihi....
Uy ipost mo na yung part2 ng BDM mo!!! :D
Roelle--good luck on your 10k Baguio Run! Its been a while since i last ran there!:-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sir Rene! I'll try to enjoy the view despite the challenging uphills. :)
