getting back on track

Classic ningas kugon! After two blog entries, there was complete silence.

Due to an extremely busy schedule with work and graduate studies, my weekly jogs and occasional fun run participation, just like my blogging have taken a back seat.

I'm now back to my original weight (booo!) and I have lost some of the cardiovascular endurance I have gain (boooo again!).

But I'm now trying to get back on track. Here are a few things that I have been doing to gain what I have lost:

• Two months ago, I've enrolled in a gym. I do the weights and all but my primary reason for joining is to use the cardio equipment.  In the gym, I can still run even if the weather is bad.

• I've registered in next year's Bull Runner Dream Marathon.  Yup! By February next year I will be running in a marathon! 42 kilometers Whew! So far, I've been (trying to be) faithful with the Bull University's training program and I have joined 1 bull session, that's a long slow run with the other TBR dreamers, and I plan to join the future sessions to get ready for the big day.

• I have a December full of weekend runs! Last week I joined the Nike We Run 10k fun run.  Today, I just got home from the St. Luke's Run for Wellness 10k fun run. Next Saturday, I'll be joining another Bull Session. We will be running for 2 and half hours in Nuvali. This will be followed by a 42-k relay in Tarlac for the Busko Challenge. I am to run the first 14 km.  I hope my legs don't fail me.

Although, I'm still not back to my previous weekly routine, at least I am not completely stagnant.  I hope to end this year and start next year right.  I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed.

Expect more run stories soon!
