38.....After a long run from the previous day, we're not able to wake up on our desired time...So we decided that we'll have our recovery run in the afternoon...
It was almost 6:00pm that we started the run. There were not as many runners compared with the morning session...It was just an easy run for about 30 minutes, with breaks every 10 minutes...We're not pressuring ourselves too much because it was just an easy run..
39.....This time we're able to wake up on our desired time but the weather was not on our side...
Heavy rain greeted us that we decided to go back to sleep...Though I'm not saying that it's not advisable to went running on rainy days, we're not just prepared for now with this kind of weather, that's why we had just decided to add more time on our sleep..
From my soccer training, I remembered that we had a lot of rainy training sessions...We we're encouraged by our coach not to back down during this time...Because soccer games goes on even if it rains..
Just like in RUNNING,,,the run must go on......
So expect us that we will prepare for this.....
Until the next rain....
Day 37 of Training
LONG RUN....With Cris in her folding bike...We've just enjoyed it even though we've started at already 8:09am...You can really feel the heat of the sun at this time of the day......
It was about 7 miles as I may say...We've covered that distance for just an hour, and I feel better about myself considering I didn't feel any pain at all during and after the run... I guess I've improved...Thanks to Cris for being there from the start until this stage of the training...
Next Sunday...I'll run the same route and try to see if there are changes whatsoever...
Tomorrow I'll be going to have a recovery run for 30 minutes..

Day 34 and 35 of Training
34....We started our cross training with a 15 minutes jog at 6:20am.
Our Cross Training session was based on my basketball and soccer background...(just an easy one).
We did 2 sets of (2 mins.) duck walk , 2 sets of (2 mins.) planting rice. 2 sets of (16 reps.) Ab works....and a set of 20 reps jumping jack...
We finished at 7:10am.
35....An easy 30 minutes run.....We just enjoyed our run even though we started late (6:35am). I consider this late because I have still work at 8:00am...We just enjoyed the company of other runners, the sweat, the scenery and the slowly rising sun.
Tomorrow we'll going to have a 40 minutes run....
So enjoy....

DAY 33 of Training
We woke up around 5am this morning and started the actual training at exactly 6:10am.
It was nice and easy 30 minutes run. What's nice about it is that I've meet a friend from my grade school years...not that close, but due to the fact that he's my cousin's former boyfriend, we easily engaged to a quality talk while running... It's so cool to know that he's also into running..It's a great feeling knowing a friend or a relative who's also enthusiastically approach running the way you do....
We've finish 6 laps ( at the back of CIC ) about 3 1/2 miles until he call it a day...because he still needs to accompany his son to school...I added 2 more laps then finished with it 5 min. recovery walk at 6:45am.
Tomorrow, June 23, our 34th day of training we'll going to have our cross training...a combination of my soccer and basketball background cross training....
Until the next time....

2010 MILO MARATHON Cebu Elimination
We've been preparing for this (together with my partner in life who will run for her first ever 5K) for about a month now. But that 30 days of preparation was not that great for the both of us (due to some unavoidable circumstances).
We still have 2 months to go before that big day. I think if we really want to be in perfect shape we'll have to focus mentally and emotionally for us to win the battle within ourselves. In preparing for a half marathon is not just a walk in the park, you should be prepared and work real hard.
This post is the first of our 2010 Milo Marathon Cebu Elimination preparation series.
Tomorrow we'll have a 30 minutes easy run at the nearby Cebu Business Park.
We'll keep you updated of our upcoming trainings and hopefully we can buy a new digital camera for some images of our training activities that we could share to you.
