Finally, after a week of resting my knee, I got to run. Just a measly 2K, but it’s better than nothing 🙂 I’m kinda happy…although, I noticed a steep drop in my endurance (I couldn’t run again for more than 2 minutes 😦 ) Oh well…back to baseline…not a problem 🙂 Thing i gotta do now is try to avoid further injuries. Had to learn it the hard way. I can’t rush it. The more you push, the less you gain in the long run…I say this for those whose bodies just aren’t ready yet to be taken to the next level. Once you’ve established a good enough base, then I think pushing yourself would be beneficial…but unless you’ve done this well enough, you’re just laying yourself wide open to a myriad of injuries. I’ve had several people tell me to just take things slow, one step at a time, build a good base. But, well, what can I say? If there’s The Bull Runner, then there’s me, The Bull-HEADED Runner 😛 Don’t worry, though, if there’s one thing I don’t like doing, it’s repeating mistakes. So, here’s to more 2K’s, slower times and better knees 😛

Kind of a sucky day for running for me…woke up at 6:30am and got to run at 7:00am.  Just did 2K today…for some reason my legs and lungs felt weak 😦  Probably tired from the workout yesterday.  Oh well, at least I got to run 🙂  I’ve received several messages in my facebook telling me how much they want to run na rin, and it really feels great to know that through this little way, I’m able to inspire people to start running or get back to running again! 😀  Belai, a friend of mine from college at UP-CHK messaged me about running with her in Sta. Rosa next week 😀  I’m happy about this and I hope it gets to be a regular thing 🙂  Maybe others in the area would want to join us run in Nuvali, and perhaps later on we could form a running club! 😀  Let me know if you’re in the area and would like to join our run on Wednesday, June 3, 2009 🙂  I’ve also received a number of queries regarding the IE8 run and the 1st PTAA Charity Run, so I’ve posted details about them here.  These announcements I’ve gotten from http://www.takbo.ph and from http://thebullrunner.com.  You can check out the sites for more stuff about running 🙂
