Run12k With Me - JCO Run PH 2025

I have said this so many times: family, friends, basically everyone - I'M SOOO TIRED OF RUNNING. Like a part of me wants to quit. I have stopped training due to back-to-back typhoons and earthquakes. etc. The last run I had was my 16k on Rexona, and that was it. No training followed, but then I already paid for this fun run a couple of months ago, and I remember how easily this got sold out the moment the registration opened.

So I showed up!!

They say it would have unlimited donuts along the way...so whomst am I to say no?

I'm running with my cousin again this time!

We arrived at the venue a bit early, so there's plenty of time to warm up. I love running in the MOA race village because it doesn't have many uphills for a short-distance run. God forbid this girl will die on a bridge!!!

We joined their pit stop challenge while waiting for the assembly time. Took photos from at least 3 pit stops so we could get a free yogurt.

After the assembly time, we headed to the starting line.

jusko nakakasilaw!!!

My cousin paced me for almost 2 km before I stopped to catch my breathe and to walk lol

I'm trying to do a 12k run, not a 1994-2025 pls

sooo around 4k, my feet started to hurt, which was probably due to my new shoes not being broken in. I know it's my fault but I didn't really have the chance to properly train with it.

I just had to.. coz CONRAAAAAAAD

Ran alongside Tito Mikee for a while! Tried to keep up but nahh, I'm gonna walk. Sorry.

At around 9k, I've arrived at the first donut pit stop. I was soo excited to get a treat after all the suffering, but there were so many people. Everything was evidently out of order. There was no line; people were just rushing to the booth to get a WHOLE DAMN BOX. Yes, when it was supposedly one piece per person lol that was crazy! Yall paid a registration fee; I'm pretty sure you can buy donuts on a normal day wtfff

I almost passed out because people were pushing behind me, not to mention my short af height; they were towering over me.

Mind you that these were very SWEATY PEOPLE, so I got a bit lightheaded lol

I survived that, though! Thank God! I managed to get out of the crowd after getting my smol donut.

The second donut pit stop was all out - not surprised!

I dramatically walked to the finish line. Normally, I would still try to run but I was just dead tired. The lack of training really showed and I endured it kase dapat unahin ang yabang lol

It was like dragging my feet to the finish line. It was really hard.
