Race to Reduce: Aboitiz Run
For the second time, the family joined the fun run. Mom and dad registered for the 3Km run while the rest of us joined the 5km run. It was unfortunate though that my sister Ellen could not participate because she couldn’t find someone to fill in for her at the hospital.
A bit unfortunate for me too. I was not able to improve on my personal record. Lester and I agreed to pace run for the 5km event. But somewhere after running downhill, a felt some pain in my left foot. It was about a kilometer and a half to the finish line where I felt extreme pain. I decided to walk it off, paused and let the tightness subside.
In spite of the pain, I continued on. I had to. As long as the pain was bearable, I continued on running and reached the finish line in 32 minutes. Lester paced run with me till the end. Still not bad. Not great but then I felt relieved. It’s done. Our names as well as those who finished with their respective races will be published in the newspaper.
Most importantly, the family shared the experience of running. We will continue on running. That’s for sure.
Go lang ng go!
