Rain, Will You Stop, Please?

It has been raining continuously and there is no sign that it will soon stop. I planned to run again this afternoon, after my failed attempt last night, to soothe my aching legs. I was able to run 1.5KM, half of my target, in 10 minutes. After the stint, something in my nose does not feel right and my nape kind of hurts. I knew I had to stop and rest. But friends say that is normal for first times and so I am determined to run again today. I remember the first time I did metafit, my body was aching the whole day. I did another routine the next day and I was able to do it despite all the aching body parts. After several days of doing the intense exercise, my body was able to adjust. I know that will happen with this running too.

But this rain keeps on pouring. Boohoo.

I hope it stops already. Friends will run tomorrow for Run United 3 and the kids may get sick if they run in the rain. And those in low areas may get flooded again.

On second thought, running in the rain sounds fun. But no, I am not up for it now.

A Different Christmas

I was meaning to write a “welcome -ber months” post since September came in but with sickly girls, I am unable to open the laptop at night even when they are asleep. The blue light from the laptop wakes them up and I hate it when their sleep gets disrupted.

Anyway, I hope all this sickliness comes to an end soon because I am so excited for the coming -ber months. October is my birth month. November, I am looking forward to a grand reunion with my elementary classmates. December, I am hopeful that we will have a different and one of a kind Christmas!

I am itching to take out the Christmas tree from the box and all the decorations. Or maybe, we will donate the old decorations we have and give way to a themed Christmas tree this year. I am sure, my eldest daughter will say pink and purple if I ask her what theme she wants.

The previous Christmas eves and days that we had were spent either here with my in-laws or with my family in Las Pinas. This year, it will surely be different since many in our family are abroad. Prayerfully, they could spend the holidays with us. And prayerfully too, we will not have to raffle where we will spend the eve and day like what we used to do previously. Hopefully, this year, we could spend the holidays under one roof, with all our dear relatives in our home. It will surely be a blast!

I Will Be Running Again!

I envy my friends who have been joining fun runs. It is their way of staying fit and bonding with their family and friends.

I used to be a runner. Track and field is something that I love to do since I was in elementary. It is my second sports next to volleyball. The last time I run was in highschool. I have been wanting to join fun runs like my friends but the race time and location keep holding me back. Or maybe I am just to chicken and I am just denying that.

Last week, Pehpot, invited me to a fun run, the Immuvit Fearless Challenge Leg 2. The location, which is Quezon City Circle, is very near me and it would a shame if I do not join. So I said yes to the challenge.

I will be conditioning my body this week and next. (Yeah, I have not started because of my monthly period, but I will be tomorrow.) Wish me luck!
