My First 15K Fun Run!

It was town fiesta in Guinobatan last week, August 14-15 to be exact. Although as Seventh-Day Adventists we don't celebrate this kind of event. It was just for fun that we joined the Fun Run activity organized by some of the Sangguniang Kabataan officers.

My friend Mandy was the one who informed me about the event. It so happened that I was home again in Guinobatan during the weekend so I decided to join. We enjoy hiking and just being with nature; since it's been a while since we got the chance to do that, this Fun Run activity was heaven sent. So we immediately registered and got the shirts to be worn for the activity. 

The categories included 3K, 5K and 15K. We decided to join the 15K Fun Run. From the municipal ground the route was to San Rafael-Maipon-Masarawag-Muladbucad Pequeno-Bubulusan-San Jose-Inascan-Banao-Guinobatan proper. I know! So far isn't it? Well it really is! I didn't want to finish it actually but my companions didn't want to give up halfway so  decided to stick it out. When we were in Banao that's when one of our companions said we should ride and so we did. I was so thankful we did because my feet were really hurting a lot by that time. 

But then it was a very enjoyable experience for me. It was my first time to join an official Fun Run activity. At least I can proudly say that I was able to join in one at least once in my lifetime! 

Here are some of our photos!
