Definitely Out of Shape (Again)

Posted by Deelytz

See the numeric. Take note of the time. I usually get tired after 60 minutes of brisk walking on the treadmill. Darn 15 minutes and my tongue was sticking out. I literally tried harder to get those 22 minutes just to burn 149 calories. I didn’t even reach 150! BWAHAHA. I used to get 300 or more. Goodness. I need to get back into shape!

Out of Shape

Posted by Deelytz

After hybernating from the gym for almost 4 months, I paid a visit last Tuesday and boy I am really out of shape! Usually I stay on the treadmill for 70 minutes, that’s 30 minutes of brisk walking, 10 minutes of running then 10 minutes of brisk walking again but last Tuesday I only had 30 minutes on it with just 4 minutes of running. Oh boy. I should really go back and try to lose pounds with exercising because my dieting is not doing anything for me, I just maintain my weight but don’t lose anything. Anyway here are the photos last Tuesday. After that 30 minutes, I had to catch my breath, sit down, sweat some more before heading back to work. Yikes!

The trusted treadmill which is the only working treadmill in the gym.

Tired me.

Hay numbers!

Will Run Again

Posted by Deelytz

I will be very busy this month. Aside from the fact that we (Hubby and I) decided to celebrate Valentine’s Day this year, though it will be a simple celebration we opted to celebrate it anyway unlike last year, I still need to sort my flash drive and develop our Hong Kong pictures because I’m sure with my very busy February, I will be needing my drive all the time. Aside from the major highlight of meeting my online friends this month, I was supposed to take a rain check when my best friend invited me to run on the 21st because I’m very sure that 19th and the 20th will be uber busy days but I can’t resist not to run especially I will be running with him…

Yes, Derek Ramsay will be there and you bet there will be tons of photos of this face…

It will be my mission to have a photo with him or at least be close when he poses for fans. BF Mitch, let’s do this. BWAHAHA! ;)

Another Run Coming

Posted by Deelytz

Yes, my best friend registered me for another race with her and her husband this November 15. PJ (Piolo to showbiz) will be there. Will I ever get the chance to chit-chat with him? Will he recognize an old friend from College? I really don’t care anymore because right now, I’m just thinking about beating my 70 minutes from my 5KM Run last October. Plastic! Of course, I want a picture with Piolo Jose. He might be furious of saying his real name here. Hahaha… If I finish faster than my 70 minutes run, do I deserve one of the nice netbooks online for Christmas? Santa are you reading this? Please give this nice, turning to be health buff lady something techie this coming Holidays. :D Anyway, here’s the Timex Poster…

KOTR Experience

Posted by Deelytz

This post is way long overdue and I will be running again on the 15th with my best friend and her husband for Timex so I better blog about this before blogging about that. Anyway, my husband was supposed to run with us but because of his small accident in biking the day before the race, we both decided that he takes a rest and not join me anymore. So, I woke up at 4am to prepare and headed to High Street for the race, the parking was crazy. It took me a while to park the Rav but I got a nice space and then met my best friend and her hubby. It was festive, humongous crowd wearing yellow. Pretty cool… Let the pictures do the talking…

The Stage (In Front of it, people were all over doing their own versions of stretching, that included us)

Then we were all instructed to proceed to the Starting Line and these are a few of the 5KMers in front of me

Some runners at my back

Then on with the program, my only mistake was that I didn’t bring water or Gatorade so after the 1KM run, I was so thirsty. We couldn’t try drinking the water freebies from the cups because it’s stored in big drums but after the 4KM run…

We gave in and drank a little from the cups given on the side street in Serendra.

This was our route, it was longer than the official route…

So as a first timer, I am mighty proud of myself because I finished the 5KM (More of 6.41KM)…

All sweaty and tired but happy with this small achievement.

This was ready in the finish line if the finishers wanted to get soaked. PASMA!

My crew! BF Mitch and her hubby, Raymond. See you again guys this November 15!

The 3 of us, sporting the same Nike LunarGlides in an Adidas Event. :D

My BF and I, partners in crime. ;)

So I grabbed the results from Adidas KOTR Facebook…

Wrong spelling but that will do, the time I think is wrong though, I timed myself and it took me longer, mine was 60:10 and my best friend’s name is not on their list. Bad trip! :(

All Set

Posted by Deelytz

October 25 is the day when I run with my best friend, her husband and my husband at 4 AM at Bonifacio High Street for the Adidas The King of the Road! But yeba! I bought a Nike LunarGlide to use for that event. :D

Originally, I really wanted to buy this color but when my best friend and I saw it at Runnr and Nike Boni High Street yesterday, we thought we need to match it with certain colors of clothes and the color is very striking plus it is so light that it can easily get dirty so we opted to buy the black and neon green instead.

It’s my first time to join such event and I must say, I’m pretty much hyped up. Actually, I’m thinking, do I have to bring my DSLR? HAHA. I want to take photos, you bet there will be serious runners and I want to capture that but carrying a huge camera while running will be tremendously funny. What do you think? This is the event where I will be wearing my Nike LunarGlide…

Basically since we are in on the 5K run, we will just go around The Fort. Taking the 10K or 21K for that matter will be suicide, we’re all first timers. This is our route…

I little less complicated. I hope I can finish it with great achievement. I haven’t had a good spin for 2 weeks now, I need practice or else I will be brisk walking throughout the event. Funny! :D

After this marathon, I have to concentrate on saving, this year it’s all about spending, next year should be different we need to save so we can push through with our plans for a great trip and go to Illinois to visit our relatives, to LA to do some shopping and at Vegas to watch Las Vegas Shows and play in their casinos.
