around 10:00PM -- I was told that there will be no classes tomorrow (06.24.2009) because of a typhoon. Signal #2 was raised all over the Metro.
06.24.2009
around 5:00AM -- Was awaken by our dogs barking. 'Typhoon must have arrived early', I said to myself. Darn it... I need to get some more sleep. We have an LSD tonight...
around 6:30AM -- That's weird... no rain. Hmnnn...
around 1:00PM -- I texted mudra... "We have a run tonight". Mudra replied... "There's a typhoon. It will arrive tonight, 8pm.". I texted back... "You scheduled it?"
around 6:45PM -- Grace told me that she won't be joining the LSD because the typhoon will arrive by 8pm. I guess, Grace and my wife has the same wavelength.
around 7:30PM -- I was in MOA grounds, waiting for Chelly and Ellen.
around 7:31PM -- Chelly texted, "we're here na sa parking". Wow! Cono! I said to myself...
around 7:45PM -- Pojie, Gab, Doc Roy, Doc Marvin, BongZ, BongYu, Carina, Cris, Wilnar, Mcoy, Ziggy arrived in MOA grounds (half of the C-loop). They came running starting from KM0. It was their first pit stop. Picture taking... courtesy of Doc Roy.
around 7:50PM -- emo moment for Ellen.
around 7:59PM -- we started running.
or walking... =)is that you tron?
around 8:05PM -- It stopped... "that's it?", I said to myself
around 8:10PM -- We tried doing the Indian Run courtesy of Cris (Infinity).
An indian run is when a team (soccer, football, baseball, etc.) jogs (in our case, run... ehurm) in a single file line around a playing field. It begins when the last person in line sprints to the front. When that person gets there, the next person at the end of the line sprints to the front of the line. This continues as the line jogs around the field. Very tiring. -- URBANDICTIONARY.COM
around 8:20PM -- Pit Stop (Shell Station, Macapagal Ave.). Picture taking... courtesy of Carina.
cam whores!!!around 8:30PM -- Started running again going to Uniwide Coastal Mall.
aside from pictures of women, Doc Roy loves to stare at electric meters too...around 8:40PM -- Uniwide Coastal Mall area. Picture taking... courtesy of Carina.
Yes, we are...around 9:10PM -- We're back in MOA grounds. Market/Dampa area. Stretching time, by Cris. Pictures, by Carina & Doc Roy.
it was pitch black in that area. Doc Roy sacrificed not joining the stretching routine just to light our path. Very thoughtful!
witnesses...
Doc, lo-batt na headlights? =)
witnesses...Doc, lo-batt na headlights? =)
around 9:20PM -- started running again. But I have to stop in MOA. Checking on my watch, I'll be home by 1AM if I ran back with them to KM0 and join them at Gab's YellowCab treat.

YellowCab closed their doors when the guys arrived because the guys were sweating excessively.The guys took the scooters instead...
about 10:45pm -- i read a text by Grace... "Where's Feria?!?!? I should have joined the run...". I texted back... "Feria who???". Apparently, Feria was the name of the storm. Nyerks...
i read a text by Grace... "Where's Feria?!?!? I should have joined the run...".- favorite line ko to. sana ako din nag run :) hehehe pero nag run na ko ng umaga with my elixir :) nice naman :) mabilis lang mag init, di tulad ni elixir :) pero ok naman sha :)

Hi Rod,
ReplyDeleteThanks for greeting me this morning! I told Jun, it's Rod and I was right.
When you saw me, I was trying to catch up with them after the hilly part na favorite nila while ako hate ko naman yun. Hehehe...That C5 ext is our regular practice route, we will be there again tom as we did not sign up in GIG/JAL run.
Will you be racing tom? Good luck! See you again soon.
