“Why the fuck am I doing this to myself?” — familiar

Somewhere along this stretch, the confluence of assorted feelings and emotions – pain, exhaustion, heat, sleep deprivation, hunger, frustration, thirst – got the best of me. And before I knew it, tears were streaming down my face. I could not recall the last time something like that happened to me, let alone during a run. I never saw it coming. And for the first time ever, after close to 15 hours of continuous running and walking, I asked myself this question: “Why the fuck am I doing this to myself?” Mind game. I slowed down and composed myself. Instead of trying to find the answer to the question, I told myself to just stay in the game, and to remember the short prayer that I whispered somewhere in Lubao. A son never forgets. And I was again on my way.

falling in love

I’m in love with (distance slow) running. The only thing that made me gave up weekends with my family.

A few finds I collected on the way.

We have a grapes farm here in Cebu, Philippines, Mabuhay!
Sibonga
Boljoon, cebu
Santander, Cebu
Meeting more ‘lantays’ on the way.

Just like love, I really do not know how to explain why I love distance running. =) It’s probably the mix of pain, unsureness and peacefulness that comes with it. (Emphasis on distance because I get bored with running around the subdivision — too monotonous.)

will end here before I go on preaching that running will solve all our problems. Thanks to markjohn for agreeing to babysitting alone on weekends.
