I have redeemed myself!
I really could not take that I walked a 5km route… pathetic. So I felt the need to redeem myself. As soon as I got home, I slept. When I woke up, I did 1.5km to warm up, did some stretching and drills, then ran my usual 5km route. I left my MP3 player since I didn’t want to be distracted. I made sure that my time should be better than the last and should be lower than 6mins/km. And I DID! My time for 5km was 28:21:28 at a pace of 5.67mins/km or 5 mins 40.2 secs per km. Not bad 
My previous PR for the same route was 26.95mins/km or 26 mins and 57 secs for 4.5km [yeah, I didn't get to finish the 5k]. It feels so good
Bards! I set a new PR… passion run 
hehe

Ey Jovin!
Musta? Sure, when are you free? Actually, you can just go to ULTRA. They charge P29 for the track oval. A lot of people go there to run, train. On the days that I go, I see several track teams there: Ateneo, UP, CSB, and what I think is a running class.
My suggestion would be to get a training program (there are those that are available online, c/o Runnersworld)and you can just follow it. There are also others that are available. There are days when you do long runs, tempo runs, intervals/fartleks. You could also ask around for personal trainers/coaches if you want to be more serious about it. [To my other visitors, what do you suggest?]
What’s your schedule? So that if ever we can run. I do my long runs in the village or when I don’t run at Ultra. Sometimes, kapag ginaganahan, 6 or 7am. Oftentimes around 6 or 7pm. There are also times that I run around 8:30pm na. Minsan mas masarap sa gabi, mahangin.

Ayos naman ako… I also have my long runs in Merville, its scheduled every Sunday, mga 8pm… this May nga lang, I’ll be out of town on most weekends… oo nga, masmahangin kapag gabi
Actually, I’m following a training schedule I got from Runnersworld, pero syempre iba rin yung may coach ka to teach you stuff… When do you go sa ultra? parang gusto ko sumama just to get a feel of it and maybe that can help me decide if I should get a coach nga…
