I just run a five-kilometer distance yesterday. It is a benefit run dubbed as "Takbo Para Sa Ilog Pasig". It is conceptualized to benefit Pasig River and its waterways. It is a joint-project by different private organizations, including the company where I work: ABS-CBN. It has been always fun to participate in a benefit run. I have also participated in "Takbo Para Sa Kalikasan", an annual event/benefit run which is participated by ABS-CBN, its subsidiaries and other private companies and organizations.

Have you run for something good recently?

I am happy for your to be part of the run for a cause! Mabuhay Ka!

The last time i experienced running (not for a cause) but for a company sportsfest in the Philippine REfugee Processing Zone, Bataan was 15 years ago. I got the third place for the female category. It was fun. How i wish i can join run for a cause in the future.

Congrats!


myLot reputation of 76/100. ethanonthemoon (365)   ranked 2,756 out of 38,461 in life  2 months ago

You actually won?!

What's the prize?

If you want to run for a cause, wait for the annual Takbo Para Sa Kalikasan come February. It would be great.


myLot reputation of 98/100. msfrancisco9369 (2136)   ranked 2,986 out of 38,461 in life  2 months ago

Yes i won and i had a trophy and a cash prize-- i shared it with my team and had a simple party.

Please keep me posted for fun run schedules. thanks!


myLot reputation of 76/100. ethanonthemoon (365)   ranked 2,756 out of 38,461 in life  2 months ago

Sure.

Also, you can watch Teleradyo/DZMM for notices. Watch ABS-CBN (plugging?). Hehehe.

On my treadmill I ran a one and a half kilometers about two hours back!
'Takbo Para Sa Ilog Pasig' sounds some really venerated and fun event man!
Which country though, Japan? China?
We have P.T Usha as the fastest runner in India here!
She is really good too.Has won medals in Olympics Too.

But tell me you ran these 5 Km without a break and with breaks.
Because in new Delhi, we have this city marathon in which all citizens are invited to take part, they walk, run take breaks and just totally freak out!


myLot reputation of 76/100. ethanonthemoon (365)   ranked 2,756 out of 38,461 in life  2 months ago

I'm from the Philippines zui_strumming.

Takbo Para Sa Ilog Pasig is and environmental move to clean one of the rivers here in Manila, Philippines. The word-for-word translation of that to English is "Run For The Pasig River".

It is a fun run, ergo, we run, we take breaks, we walk to take a breather, there are refreshments along a designated mark, photographers are all over, families run, students from different schools and government and private companies and organization also took part in the event.

Yes. I ran "Race for the cure" which was raising money to support cancer research. I set my PR at tht race. I also ran last week but only for the alumni association from where I graduated college. I won a third place medal (in my age group). Next Saturday I am running for the brain tumor association. My sister has a brain tumor and so she and my other sister and brother-in-law are walking the mile. Myself and my nephew will run the 5K and my other nephew and his dad will run the 12K all of it will benefit Oklahoma's brain tumor association.


myLot reputation of 76/100. ethanonthemoon (365)   ranked 2,756 out of 38,461 in life  2 months ago

Hi macdingolinger!

You are a very athletic and a very good citizen in your society. You are helping others by participating in events that helps other people. I give you two thumbs-up dude! Keep up the good work!

myLot reputation of 76/100. ethanonthemoon (365)   ranked 2,756 out of 38,461 in life  2 months ago

I make it a point to exercise in the morning by walking and by doing 50 jumping jacks. I got the hang of it now. It is easy to make that number. I'll upgrade it to 100 jumping jacks.

9. myLot reputation of 95/100. wahmivy (540)   ranked 8,080 out of 38,461 in life   2 months ago

Not at all. I used to jog every morning and have always had the intention of running marathons, but somehow never got around to doing it. My dad used to run marathons a lot (his knees and back won't let him run anymore) and we would always go with him to these events. Anyway, I am in no shape at all to join one at this time, but maybe I could start training myself now so I can join future ones, eh?


myLot reputation of 76/100. ethanonthemoon (365)   ranked 2,756 out of 38,461 in life  2 months ago

Yep! You do that wahmivy. Maybe you can join one here in the Philippines in the future.

Where do you live edujccz?

Here in the Philippines, there are lots of events for a cause. We just join in the ones we like and we support.


myLot reputation of 69/100. edujccz (540)   ranked 5,688 out of 38,461 in life  2 months ago

I live in mandaluyong but i am not aware until i saw the marathon on tv last sunday.


myLot reputation of 76/100. ethanonthemoon (365)   ranked 2,756 out of 38,461 in life  2 months ago

Please watch Teleradyo/DZMM or at ABS-CBN for other events like this. There is an upcoming "Takbo Para Sa Kalikasan" on February. Wait and join that event.


myLot reputation of 69/100. edujccz (540)   ranked 5,688 out of 38,461 in life  2 months ago

Thank you for your information, I am not watching tv anymore coz everytime i come home at night all my kids have a preffered channel to watch, the youngest like to see cartoons, the next one wants to see disney channel, the other one wants to see rock music tv, the other one wants nba and my wife wants GMA7. So all I do watch the beuty of the stars outside while caressing the dog and feel the fresh air until i am dizzy and goes to sleep rather than joining the chaos of what to watch.

well, maybe thats the role of a father, LOL
So maybe you can advice me when to register. thanks


myLot reputation of 76/100. ethanonthemoon (365)   ranked 2,756 out of 38,461 in life  2 months ago

Buy a radio instead, dude. Tune in at DZMM. Hehehe.
