for everyone

Yesterday I participated in the One Run of La Salle, yes you read it right I actually ran 3k and survived. I was supposed to run with a classmate who stood me up so I ran by myself, well not actually by myself because there are thousands of people running with me. I was so out of shape that I can’t even run for 3 minutes straight, pathetic huh?

 

On the middle of the 3k run, the rain poured heavily but we have no choice but to finish the “race” and get wet in the process. The event was successful except for a few not so organized systems; the baggage counter looks like a bargain store of bags, the organizers should have established small compartments like those in department stores for the bags instead of putting them in one pile over the table. The certificate of completion, looked like a flyer, the size is ¼ of a bond paper should’ve been given together with the loot bag. As for the loot bag, the organizers allotted only 2 tents for the thousands of tired runners to get their loot bags, as usual even though they are La Salle people, some still choose to cut in line rather than to fall in line, well I got my loot bag straight from the truck where they store it.

 

The experience was so great despite of some down sides, and I actually decided to join again next year, even tough my legs and thighs are shouting four letter words at me. I’ll post some pictures tomorrow.
