[RUNNING PAST] are stories about the running events that I have joined before I started this blog. Expect retro-post such as this to pop up every now and then.

The UPAA Bagong Sigla fun run last March 24 was part of the celebration of the 100 year anniversary of the UP Alumni Association. When I first heard about it in a faculty meeting, I knew that it was going to be our fun run number four. Aside from benefiting the university, the venue was in UP Diliman which was where we usually do our midweek runs back then.

wow! a century-old alumni association

Aside from my usual running group, I invited some of the other faculty to join us. Dom joined Imye, Royson and me. Chris was also there but he was with some of his college batchmates.

It was our first time to run 12 km.  It was also the first time I got to see some parts of the Diliman campus. There are really a lot of places there to run.

once again, i was the designated photographer...

...so running selfies were in order. haha

We were able to finish 12k in 2 hours. That's an average of 10 minutes per kilometer, our personal best back then. We also got our first finisher's medal for this run aside from the other freebies! :)

finally, a medal from UP. haha

congrats to us and our alma mater!
