I Made it!!!
Yes!!! I survived the “Takbo Para sa Kalikasan” marathon. I finished the 10k run in 57min. A little faster than my usual run in Marikina. It was quite an experience and challenging as well. I don’t know my rank yet but I know I’m somewhere in between, I was behind a group of orange cadets. The first one who finished the 10k made it around 31minutes only. Well that was a feat!
Also on the way home I bumped into Leo, an old co-climber during the “Escape” days, who I found texting. It turned out he joined the 3k run in which his company endorses that they join. He seems okay but at the same time, hesitant. Didn’t mind though. It was nice to see him again.
Yesterday by the way was also a great “Lakbay”. Amazing, as we never expected to find a “little heaven”, just slightly outside Metro Manila. It was such a beautiful, intriguing place that we really enjoyed and also a Photographer’s Delight.
Haaaaaah. What an eventful weekend, now I have to go back to work mode and finish all my pending responsibilities….
Have a good day people!!!

Good day there dude! I chance upon your website looking for the result of the Takbo ng Kalikasan finisher clocking. There wasn’t any.
This is my 2nd Kalikasan 10k. It’s almost a year now since I started road runnin’ March 2003-last year’s Kalikasan run. I’ve done about 15 10ks, 1 25k, 3 16ks, 2 8ks, 1 6k, 1 5k midnight run and 2 42 k full marathon. I clocked 45:56 last Sunday. That was slow. My Adidas-King of the Road was my best 10k at 42:48. Guess I got burnt with the 20k long run I did the day before the race. I’m in my tapering-off conditioning runs for the Pasig River Heritage 42k Marathon. But I’ll still be running the Lourdes School-Mandaluyong 10k this Sunday. Won’t be able to do the GMA Fun Run for this year coz it falls in the same date as the Heritage 42k. Anyway, hope you do good in your succeeding runs. If you happen to chance upon the Kalikasan race results, e-mail me naman. Gotta run!
