I know. I haven’t run races lately. Not even a practice run. Well, after finishing the Bataan Death March 102 Ultramarathon two months ago all I wanted to do is just rest. And rest for me is savoring sleep and eat what I want. No run and just doing what I love doing, that is, visiting other places this summer.
Roxas City, Capiz: Seafood Capital of the Philippines
 |
| Sta. Monica Church (circa1698) is made of coral stones |
 |
| Pan-ay Bell, the biggest church bell in Asia was cast at Pan-ay from 70 sacks of coins donated by the townspeople. It was completed in 1878. The inspiring inscription when translated reads: “I am God’s voice which shall echo praise from one end of the town of Pan-ay to the other, so that Christ\’s faithful followers may enter this house of God to receive heavenly graces.\” |
Guimaras Island: A Visit to Trappist Abbey, Guisi (Nueva Valencia) Light House and Guisi Beach
 |
| In this place, one can truly hear the sound of silence. |
 |
| Guimaras Island is just 12 minutes away by pump boat from Iloilo City. From the wharf of Municipality of Jordan, the road starts with a four-kilometer uphill course. Its main highway is so inviting for a practice run or long run. Just too bad I didn’t have much time to even do a run. |

Calamba, Laguna: Birthplace of Our National Hero, Jose Rizal

I did run. Once. But seeing three stray dogs barking along the road in Roxas City, I had no recourse but do a quick U-turn. And there’s work. Yes, just plain busy this past month. But in time I’ll go back to training and may be joining a race next month. I just need to shed a few pounds though. This will be a lot of hard work, especially, in the core area. Oh well, that’s the price one has to pay when one gets lazy.
See you at the starting line soon!
