The Birth of a Fun Run Junkie

While browsing the internet and checking for articles about running, I saw a fun run ad. It would be in three weeks time and would be held in Cabanatuan. I was just perfect, I thought. That would save me from traveling all the way to Manila just to join fun runs.  I was so excited that I decided I would enlist as soon as the classes resume.

I can’t contain my excitement with the idea of joining my first fun run. I wish to join at least one fun run a month. After all, most of the fun runs are organized for a cause. It would be nice to know that while I enjoy running, I am also able to help people. 

I still am contemplating on whether I’m ready to run 10k or should start with 5k though. I run every day except on Sundays. The longest distance I run so far is 10k. However, my body is more comfortable with 5k. When I go longer than 8k, I notice my knees and legs hurt. But of course, I always have push-yourself-to-the-limit attitude. Adding 2k would just be like adding 15 minutes in my running time.

I’ll think about it later. Besides, the fun run will be on the 14^th of January. I still have ample time to train. In a week or two, I would probably know whether I’m ready for 10k or not.
