My first foray into running, not so bad at all..... Joined Subic Marathon last Jan. 20, 2008 in the 5k CEO Category Preparing to get into the starting line, got there at 4:30AM At the starting line, shortly before 6AM, for the 3k, 5k, 10k, 21k runners. The 42k full marathon runners took off at 5AM. Am up against these guys? Well, not really - the Kenyans & Nigerians were in the 42k category. Lucky them, otherwise we would have left them bite the dust ha ha How the finish line looks, about half an hour after we took off... After getting thru the finish line, with breakfast in hand. Sorry no shots while running as my photographer was not allowed to escort me he he Big surprise, got a trophy for Top Runner in 5K CEO Category... With matching medal pa...(this is too much, might like running more than biking)..... Proof of participation that I was there.... Well, this Kenyan eventually "run away" with the $5K top prize money. He did 42k in 2 hours, around 25 minutes. And oh, a Filipino came in 2nd place and went home with US$3,000. Thanks for viewing. Pardon the date of the pics from the camera - did not have time to adjust them at 4AM.
