Finally, a post from me! Been such a long time! No christmas nor new year greeting, no running recap for 2013, not even a countdown. Oh well, just one of those days when sometimes we just have to cut ourselves some slack. Late post but still wishing everyone a blessed 2014!
On Joining and Finishing the 4th CIHM
There were attempts made to join the Corregidor International Half Marathon (CIHM) since its inception in 2010, but for some reason it just wouldn\’t work with my schedule until last year. Both the Corregidor Marathon and CIHM events, however, were rescheduled to January 11 and 12 respectively instead of December last year to give way to relief operations in areas affected by typhoon Yolanda. Months have passed since my last post yet no matter how hard I tried, the words just wouldn\’t flow or it was difficult to recap in words so let me show you some pictures instead.

| With my niece, Jing, who regrettably didn\’t make it in time for her supposedly first 5K race in Corregidor because of work assignment. There\’ll always be a next time, niece! |

| With beaming 10k finisher fellow Fishers of Men choir member, Jessica D. Congratulations, Jess! |

| The Finish Arch for 21K and 10K finishers. That tiny orange speck is me on my way to the Finish Line. Woohoo! |

| Seeing fellow blogger Atty. Raymund aka Everybody Loves Raymund at the Starting Line on a cold early Saturday morning. We were both spectators and waiting for the Corregidor Marathon side event runners to take off.
Congratulations to Big, Big, Big on both a successful and a memorable half marathon running. Such a smoothly run event. Awesome job by everyone. Many, many thanks to Edward Kho on the work you are doing for the running community and tourism. Great thanks to Mr. Rolando Portes, General Manager of Sun Cruises for ensuring our stay in the Island comfortable and welcoming. I look forward to doing the event again!
