Last December 19, 2010, me and my husband ran our first 5K marathon. Actually this is more like a fun run since an actual marathon is pegged at 42K. Nevertheless it was a fun activity. This run (Xtreme Run 2010) was sponsored by the Pioneer Mighty bond in benefit of Bantay Bata 163.
We arrived in the venue at Tiendesitas around 5:15am. The run will start at around 5:40am. Since it started to rain, the run started at around 5:30am. The 3K runners were the first to run, these runners are parents with children. Next are the 5K runners (that's us) then the 10K runners and lastly the 15K runners.
Since we did not have practice prior to the run, as expected I was having cramps in my legs during the race. Oh well, since this is just a trial run to see if I can finish a 5K race, because one of my new years resolution for year 2011 is to run at least 3 race next year.
I felt proud when I finished the race because we never gave up despite the leg cramps. Our time was 62minutes. I promised myself that we do better next time.
