& the fulfilled adidas running shoes

it was a hot sunday morning run... at 10 km point towards the end of my run the sun was just burning hot that i had goosebumps. a little part of me almost wanted to stop but i encouraged myself to finish the race. also, inspired running with my wished adidas running shoes, i was able to step on the finish line... thank you, baby for fulfilling that wish for me :))

charmley is all in :))
yes! i was...

i finished my 16.8km run after 2 hours 3 minutes 24.62 seconds. i ranked 261 for womens open ;) i hope i knew how many runners on this category, but for sure i didn't rank last, hehehe...

i was alone as my running buddy lerie ran on a different running event. we didn't get a sweaty hug at the finish line, hehehe...

next run will be on december 2, 21km for standard chartered marathon singapore 2012 :)

#wishfulThinking

i had this wishful thinking which i posted as a shout out on my skype, yahoo messenger and facebook status… it said, "an adidas running shoes for adidas king of the road #wishfulThinking" 

i'll be joining the adidas king of the road 16.8km run this coming 28th of october. and i thought it would be cool to run with an adidas running shoes... 

it was only few days after i had that posted, when a nice and sweet country boy from illinois by the name of brad stumbled upon me, we've chat and talk on skype... he read all my blog entry as i had posted my blog site on skype, greeted me a belated happy birthday and teased him that i still accept birthday gifts... he came to know that i'm into running... 

and he feels like fulfilling that wish for me, but of course i can't believe that someone i've only known for few days will do. someone who doesn't know me personally, but he said he finds me a good person and that i deserved it... there's only one way to find it out and that is giving him my shoe size and mailing address. not expecting it, i still gave him the details he wanted... 

and lo, three weeks after that here it came... a box was handed to me by my manager yesterday and i was so happy when i saw who it was from. i wish it was time to get off from work as i can't wait to open it and see what is inside...

mauna loa, brad's favorite

brad, i can't thank you enough for this. but, thank you... even if you felt so out of place when you went to running central to purchased it. and yes! favor will always be granted, i'll always have fun :) but it'll be more fun if you will join me running one day ;)

thank you for this wonderful thought as well, "if it puts a smile on your face it puts a smile on my face you can't put a pricetag on that :)"  and hey, it's not corny, it's sweet :))

feet's comfort

the pale yellow-ish shoes

the first time i came here in singapore i was wearing my pale yellow-ish shoes. i intentionally brought it so that i'll have something i can wear when i jog, as i like to jog almost every morning with my nanay and some friends back home. early this year, it's sole had become thin it shows its inner layer... and it's not even a running shoes. 


some of my friends are so much into running, they even join running events/marathon. i was inspired as well to run but with the shoes i have, it's not really that comfortable.


pushed by someone once special (#jlc) to me that i deserved to have a proper running shoes, i thought of having one. 


with my new blue-ish running shoes, i comfortably run 3-4 times a week as much as i can, when the weather favors me and when i'm not feeling lazy... i become lazy at times, i just want to lay down when i arrive home... yah, i usually run in the evening after a long, boring day at work... 

new blue-ish running shoes
