Makiling Challenge
This was definitely a challenge… Rememebr my post last June when Coach Rio brough several of us with him to Los Baños for a long run [click here for previous entry] ? It was the same route! This time around, I was familiar with the course and in fact dreading it the moment I realized on the morning of the race that we were going to reach the Makiling Arts Center.
The race start was at Baker Hall, then up to the Jamboree sight of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines, then up to the Art Center. The first time I ran here, I did not even try to reach the viewing deck since I was already exhausted… but for the MAK7, I had no choice. Hehe.. I had a consolation though… everyone else was walking! Woohoo! I was not alone 
I’ll be posting my recap of the event probably later or tomorrow morning. Stay tuned. Enjoy these pictures for the time being. I really should get myself a digicam. I keep on photograbbing. These photos are from Cathy Daza (a common friend, whom I realized is one of the new members of Happy Feet) and from Carla Intal (a friend of Jihan Osorio-soon-to-be-Tan, hehe!).
I have actually more to say… but I’ll be late AGAIN for class. Haha

Hey Run for change,
Good to hear from a fellow runner who ran the Makiling challenge, I already have an “accomplice” in detailing the event (kidding). I thought I already know that tall guy sporting a runaholic singlet coz I have read your blog few times before. Unfortunately I didn’t had the time to meet you personally, maybe next time.
By the way, two of your colleagues, Paolo and Rommel were my roommates at the ATI dorm the night before. Congratulations again for finishing that gruesome run.
Talk soon,
Vener - run unltd.

Hi Vener!
I’ve yet to do a decent recap… just too busy/tired lately… not to mention sick. I ended up having a cold after Mak7. I wasn’t able to sleep the night before.
Hope to meet you soon in future races
Oh, I just met Paolo and Rommel. They’re the companions of a common friend

So far, this is the most unforgettable race I’ve ever joined, hehe… I remember seeing you after the race. Are you one of the raffle winners?… Hope to see you in other upcoming races…
