Running In Amadeo Cavite!

My time of 52 minutes and 34 seconds for the 10 kms event is really satisfactory on my part considering I’m still lingering for some side stitches in my right foot caused by that brutal 49.28 kms run last Sunday. I finished 2nd in my group of 11 behind Henry and ahead of Philip and Rigo by a minute or so. My record based on my Timex HRM are: 52.34.05, in zone 52.33, average hour 171, peak hour 182, min hour 150, total calories 794.

Here are some souvenirs of that event:

Lord…I thank you for the opportunity of conquering Amadeo Cavite by means of running. It is by your grace only that I was able to do it for without You, I know I my frail body can’t do it. I may not win a prize or beat my personal record but finishing a race like this one is such an honor because not everybody can run a distance like this with the time that I have.

I bring back all the glory to You for You are my Lord and my Master…my Saviour in whom I will give account of everything!

Amen.
