Run 10K With Me - Disney Run Ph

 I wasn't supposed to go here, and I was so close to selling my race kit because I was too overwhelmed with everything. You know the feeling when you just woke up one day and all of a sudden you don't want to go anywhere or do anything, just feeling so empty and numb inside. I was like that for weeks, and it was hell but I clung to that tiny motivation and finally decided to show up. 

It turned out to be the cure. 

I met my friends again coz we all registered for this race and it felt so nice seeing and mingling with them. It made me happy coz I spent 2 weeks being stuck in my room, talking to nobody. 

Above all, I had bought my running fit A MONTH PRIOR! lol and that alone should be enough motivation not to drop off the race. 

Enough of my miserable life, today is Disney Run and we're dressed up as Princess Mia Thermapolis from Princess Diaries. I got myself a white pair of gloves, a sunglasses, a wired headset and recycled the crown I used from my birthday last year and voilaaaa~

This was only a 10K run and I took my time with this race for a couple of reasons:

1.) Running in the dark with sunglasses on was a challenge.

2.) The crown & headset will fall off if I speed up my pace (not that I'm fast enough though lol but u get me)

3.) I wanted to have cute photos because I felt good with my fit!! (that meant slowing down whenever you see a photographer on the route!)

Now I know I would've made my life easier by not wearing all of that but I don't always get to dress up this cutely on runs, and also because this is a Disney Run! Honestly, I would've opted for the usual Disney Princess characters but I figured there would be a lot of girlies dressing up as them so I chose Princess Mia and I think I saw 2 more girls dressed as her and that's it!

There were so many waves for every category, I was on wave 2 for the 10k.

Gunstart is at 2am WHICH WAS TOO EARLY! and probably the earliest I've had to run, considering it's not a night run but off we go. 

Running is so freeing. It calmed the voices in my head. 

bumped into Yssa on the route!

Some more race photos I literally had to filter which ones to choose coz I think I gave every photographer a chance to shoot me lol

Got all teary-eyed when I crossed that finish line, because just yesterday, I was locked in my room shutting everyone off. 

I'm so happy I ran that race. 

After the run, my friends and I had breakfast at Denny's then headed home.

I highly think running is free therapy at this point because you tire yourself out until you're no longer anxious and shit

just my take though but see u when I see you.
