Run 10k With Me - Ayala Car-Free Sunday Run

 Hey kids!

Another running blog for today. This time it's for Ayala Car-Free Sunday fun run! This was totally unplanned. I was literally snoring my ass off when registration opened, so my friends registered me on my behalf lol. I woke up to them asking me to pay them and that I got a 10K race to run just wowww

It was the cheapest registration fee too, only around ₱550-ish! But honestly, I was more amused that my friends really have a habit of making decisions on my behalf because they know I’d probably say yes anyway just so I wouldn’t miss out on the fun. Thanks for always including me hehehe

Also, this race celebrates the 3rd year of Ayala  Car-Free Sundays! Thank you to the local government for doing this and for giving people a chance to have a safe space where all runners, cyclists, and skaters can enjoy freely. This promotes a healthier lifestyle for everyone, and personally, I always look forward to Sundays because I get to get my cardio in and enjoy a nice brunch with my friends afterward. Just the perfect way to stay active while still making time to enjoy good food and good company.

soooo

Came race day, it was drizzling during the assembly but luckily stopped right before the gunstart time.

team Adidas lol

my frieeeends!!

And off we raaaaaaan!!!

I really love running in Ayala and it's even better because this time we're not crossing the Kalayaan flyover, the route was just 2 loops around Ayala. That uphill in the flyover has always been my enemy! I'm not trained to run that elevation lol and I don't think I will ever want to haha Also, it's always packed and crowded coz everyone walks up that slope, me included!

The run was a bit chill. I think it went well overall. 

It was just around 200m from the finish line when it started raining, and it was a heavy downpour! Made that cross very dramatic lol

signature pose!!!

Thank goodness that it only rained when I was near the finish line coz I don't think I would be able to perform well. I got it for 1h and 17m! Not bad for a slow runner like me. 

Met my friends after and had some drinks and bread at SB.

That's all for now! Thanks, kids for reading!
