This is going to be my next race, the Kenny’s Open ’09 Urbanite Run!
Set for Aug. 15, 2009, Saturday, I’m all excited about this for a number of things…
1. It’s at night
My first time to race at night…cooler temp, lights around for a different race ambience…hopefully some glow in the dark stuffies…and perhaps a more festive air
2. Post race gimmik!
I’m hoping there’s going to be some post-race LCLP or videoke!
3. I hear there’s a concert by Tribo Manila?
This ought to add to the light and bubbly race mood
4. Knee high socks!
My first time to race in knee high socks, too…just a little fun-knee thing some Takbo.ph peeps thought of doing to add spice to the run…tuloy ba ito? Sabagay, I don’t mind being the only one in knee high socks in case you guys chicken (mind you, that’s Kenny Roger’s Roasters chicken!) out
Bwahahahah!!
5. Nice and easy 5K run
No pressures for me…my goal for this race is to run the entire 5K without walk breaks…no matter how slow my time
But, if I can’t hack that, I don’t care
I’m running for the fun of it
Though, I might have to hurry…don’t want to be late for the LCLP!
hahaha!!
6. The timing chip!
My first ever encounter with that cute little gadget was at the Globe Run For Home. Needless to say, the post-race reporting was very interesting
Sure it had some glitches here and there, but over-all, this cutesy wootsey time chippy is definitely a helpful addition to races…it’d be nice if all races had this little thingiemajigsie
Details? Oh, I’m sure you guys already know…you’ve all probably registered already, too
If not, well, just click here (Takbo.ph details), here (Kenny Roger’s Page) or here (Gingerbreadman’s Report) .
Oh, yeah, those two guys from the Amazing Race…(lemme think for a while…) yeah…Mr. Marc Nelson and Mr. Rovilson (I’ve forgotten your first name…sorry…it ain’t you…it’s me) I hear are gonna be there…so I’m sure lotsa girls are quite excited about this, too!

Hi Doc Eire! Nice blog! Read through your posts and was struck by the similarities….. you finished ahead of me during the Globe run
.
So, thanks again for the hospitality at the Tagaytay LSD and see u at KR!
Sounds like fun!
hahaha
‘knee high gang’ is nice…for me it actually sounds like a Chinese mafia.
Hey Doc Eire, I can feel (and imagine) your energy and excitement while reading. Go! Go! Go! Same here, it’s my first night race, quite excited too add this to our knee-high socks-outfit and party after!
I am curious about this videoke
And knee high socks! Thanks for sharing Doc Iris
Good luck with this race and enjoy!
Cheers,
Luis

join the knee high gang!
