- Fat boy - |
That got me started thinking, was I really contented with this kind of lifestyle? Was I contented of being fat for the rest of my life? Was I ready to change myself? The questions goes on...
I finally decided to enroll myself at a local fitness gym and even got a personal trainer to motivate myself even more. (with the amount that you will have to pay for a personal trainer, you better be extra motivated :D)
After only 6 months of grueling gym sessions and a "no rice" principle, I managed to lose 90 lbs.
After that 6 months, I needed an exercise that will enable me to eat what the hell I want without gaining extra weight.
And so I started running...
- 42km at 36th Milo Marathon Manila Elims - |
I started running last May 2011 in the Goldilocks 45th Anniversary Run. That was a 5km run.
I started thinking again, up to what distance I can go. I started running 10km's, 15km's 16km's and 21km's. Then last March 2012 I was able to run my very first marathon.
Upon finishing my 1st Marathon, I asked myself, can I go further?
The answer I got... YES...
I have now ran two Ultramarathons, a 50k run and a 60k run and now in training for
the second longest street party in the Philippines also known as the BDM 102.
Back then, I was only concerned with improving my best time every time. I was always concerned with getting a new P.R.
That was until I met a bunch of bubbly, sometimes serious, but always fun people.
This is Team Rock and Road.
This bunch of people taught me a thing or two about mountaineering and other aspects of life. If you ever see us don't be shy and say hi. We do not bite :)
So enough of the chit chat, let's go out and be healthy...
I really dig the blog. Thanks for the reviews.
