Today, the farthest route in my entire life as a runner was finally set, and the distance? A whooping 49.28 kms based on my heart rate monitor. The route? San Pedro Laguna to Naic Cavite. The time? 5 hours and 45 minutes from 5am until 10:45am. Some data were: in zone 5.35, average hour 133, peak hour 210, minimum hour 57, total calories 3,375. We are all wearing milo singlets for uniformity and take note…we also have a race packet! That race packet helped a lot, for the motorists thought that there is a race going on, giving us some space and respect. It also served as our identification ID, for in it we wrote our contact number at home, just in case of emergency!
My companions were Bert and Romy. Here are some pictures of that event:
Coming from San Pedro Laguna, to Zigzag GMA Cavite..our first stop was here in Sm Dasmarinas Cavite..Romy and Bert.
With Bert…the 61 year old warrior.
Running already with 2 hours and 30 minutes, we are now here at The Landmark at Palapala dasmarinas Cavite, Trece martirez (TMC) here is at 11 kms, and Naic from TMC is still 13 kms..whew!
Our 2nd stop over, near Mangahan Gen. Trias..
The 13 martyrs of Trece Martirez..
Reaching this landmark, we’re already running a total of 5 hours…and it’s too hot!
We ended the event here at the boundary of Sabang and Naic, some 500 meters away from the town proper due to very extreme hot weather condition…
Me at our own finish line….Hoorayyy! I endured the 5 hours and 45 minutes run with a 49.28 kms based on my Timex HRM.
AFTER THE RUN:
Calling our loved ones…proclaiming the good news that we are CONQUERORS!
time for feasting! yehey…
We’re eating like Monsters…
After running and eating…we are now ready to return home. It’s 11:30am already. I can’t believe that I can go far like this one. I’m exhausted,burned and wasted, but I’m happy and satisfied.
Next route…San Pedro to Tagaytay City!

Ang masasabi ko lang po sa inyo ay super lakas nang inyong resistensya parang di ko yata kaya yan. patuloy lang po kau at magandang idudulot nyan sa inyong katawan at malay nyo balang araw maging kilala kau sa buong mundo nang dahil sa inyong pag takbo.
Na missed ko na itong Cavite!!! I’m from Manggahan Gen Trias, and now nandito sa San Francisco. Nung nandiyan ako, lagi kong nililibot ang Cavite, hindi ako nag sasawa.napakagandang lugar at malinis ang simoy ng Hangin. Lagi kong nililibot ang Cavite, pero hindi sa paraan na ginawa nyo, lagi akong naka kotse. bilib ako sa inyo, keep up the Good work.
Butch, thank you for a very nice comment about Cavite. Last week, we biked a 91 kms and we’re able to conquer different towns in Cavite including Gen. Trias.
Glad to know through my blog.
God bless.
