It was quite a hectic week for my
brother Ton, myself and the rest of the Condura Skyway Marathon Team (CSM) as
we worked long hours to set up the website and get it ready by - hook or by
crook - for on-line Registration by August 15, 2014. By 5:00pm the site
went active and in spite of a few bugs and a little fine tuning here and there,
the CSM Website is running quite smoothly.
After all that frenzy, what better
way to "calm the soul" or just relax after a stressful week than by
joining a RACE - The Sofitel 21 –km Race.
I
love running in any kinda weather and the Sofitel Race had a little of
everything - rain, cloud, sun and humidity. About 6,000 runners
participated in the 3 category event (5km / 10 km / 21 km) organized by Run
Rio. It was a good race as expected and I had a good run. Just what I needed to
get the blood flowing and relieve some stress.
After running several races in MOA and
the BHS area, I am considering exploring other race venues for a change.
Nothing definite yet but have a few options in mind. I also wish to do a Marathon before year
end I am hoping and praying that I can fully recover from my injury by then. Although most of my time and
effort will be concentrated on the prep and planning of the CSM 2015, I
am confident I can still manage to participate in a few races here and there. I
am happy with the feedback we have been getting thus far and would like to
thank everyone again for their support.
And yes ! "Real Men do wear Spandex" ; - )
