I should draw my line
My lower limbs are still sore right now. Last Sunday, I ran with some brods at the On Your Mark - Draw the Line Run-For-A-Cause run at the Bonifacio Global City in Taguig, due to the prodding of one of our brods who’s very passionate about running. Do visit his Run For Change blog for more info, like schedules of other runs!
It was my last run after the Subic Marathon run (where I ran the 10 kilometer route), and that was months ago. I also woke up at 5:30 AM, just half an hour before the start of the run. And come on, I live in Quezon City! Believe it or not, however, I made it to Taguig all the way from Diliman in under thirty minutes (yes, I did not take a shower before leaving the house anymore).
Because I didn’t warm up, nor did I train, nor do I even run regularly, I ended up getting really exhausted quite early on in the race. It wasn’t a very happy feeling. Just after we reached the 3-kilometer mark, I asked Lester, my running companion, to run ahead as I really couldn’t keep up, and I felt like I was just slowing him down.
As a consolation, I did have a hearty breakfast right after the run.
Hay, I do think I should practice running more. Today as I was to leave the house, I felt even more unfit, literally, as I could barely fit into one of my slacks which I used to wear a lot a few years ago. I guess I should watch what I eat too, I guess.
Saturday was a muscular shock for me rin after playing uh… a competitive sport for two hours. I remedied it by swimming for an hour the next day, my muscles are super swell na.
But seriously, I need a regular exercise regime. I don’t want to die pa. At least not this way. Hehehehehehe.
Mas mabuting magsimula ka na habang bata ka pa. Kami ni M, sinusubukan naming puro isda at gulay lang ang ulam kapag weekdays, at weekends na lang ang karne at fastfood. Yung exercise at tamang pagtulog ang kailangang maidagdag pa.
Hindi ako sumama sa takbuhang yan. Tulog pa ako sa bahay noon. Hehe.
Nice one bikoy! Looking forward to the next race?
Okay, alamin natin kung overweight ka na nga. Kunin natin yung Body Mass index mo.
Divide mo yung weight in kilograms mo sa square nung height (in meters) mo. kunin mo yung sagot kung….
below 16 ang BMI mo ibig sabihin malnourished ka.
16-19-underweight
20-24-normal weight
15-29- overweight
3o-35- class 1 obese
36-40-class 2 obese
41 and above- morbidly obese ka na.
^ I doubt his BMI will even approach 25.
Anyway, I’m suddenly interested about this marathon. I just realized I’ve never really competed in a running event outside of our high school intramurals. I’ve always loved sports but I never liked going to the gym. I’d rather shoot hoops than pump iron.
I don’t eat vegetables and almost everyone in my family is hypertensive. My dad just got an angioplasty at age 50 (!) last month. So there, I guess I’m living on the edge.
Looking forward to join the next race.
