The GOOD Run

I haven't been training well these past few days and I don't like it. My hands have been really full since after the Condura Run. Birthdays, anniversaries, work, transportation hassles, and a lot more contributed to my lack of time to train. But I think next week would give me more time for training for my next race. Yes, I have a next race right away (April 3) which I did not expect to be registered to. It's called the GOOD Run and it's organized by the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists together with RunRio. GOOD stands for Goiter, Obesity, Osteoporosis and Diabetes. The race is made to create more awareness for these diseases. 


The race only has 3K, 5K, and 10K divisions and yes, I am registered at 10K. With only a few weeks ahead before the event, I plan to just pace with my friends whom I conned into registering for the 10K race as well. I didn't really plan to register here but since I work in the medical field and a doctor, who is part of the organizing committee, convinced me to register, I gave in. Besides, it's for a good cause. And I get a singlet this time. :) 


Here's the 10k route this time. It's not gonna be using the Buendia flyover as I expected so this route is quite unfamiliar for me. 




Oh well. Better just keep running. My game plan this time? Maybe use the Galloway method. Run for 4 minutes, and walk for a minute. See you on the road!
