Last weekend, I drove all the way to Subic with some of my brods to participate in the Subic International Marathon. After a morning ocular with my thesis partner and some of our production crew at our various locations in Manila, I headed over to meet my brods in Katipunan before driving all the way to Subic in Zambales. It’s by far, the farthest drive I’ve had from Manila. It was quite a pleasant road trip, if you ask me. Never mind if I barely remember how to get to Subic. Following the road signs was enough.

After almost three hours, we arrived in Subic Bay Freeport at around 8 in the evening. Before having dinner, we spent an hour or so at the outlet stores looking at running shoes. It was half past nine in the evening when we decided to have dinner. We decided to cross the canal out of the Freeport and have a night out in Olongapo. Hehe.

It wasn’t much of a night out. Hey, we were running early the next day so we decided to tame it. After having dinner and strolling and driving around Olongapo, we decided to go back to Subic and call it a night. We stayed at another brod’s place in Binictican Heights, a former residential area for American personnel when the area was still one of the Americans’ largest overseas military bases. Some other elder brods stayed with us too. We actually slept quite late already. The runners’ call time the next day was at 5 AM.
