LC-A Photos from my first hiking trip to Mount Pinatubo

Back to running today! Wore my new favorite running shirt. This is really the only piece of Leica that I could currently afford. Hopefully someday I could purchase my own Leica M series... but for now, let me just enjoy running with the red dot.

Yoga for Runners

I have an old Yoga mat at home that has been unused since purchase... and this was back in '09! It has finally been put to the test this morning for a little runner's stretch. The videos I got, called 'Yoga for Runners' is designed for the leg muscles and to release tension around the shoulders. It includes the breathing technique for improved running time as well.

But I guess I've totally forgotten about how my mat would turn out because I was the one who has been definitely put the test. I began by trying out the easy 8 to 10 minute Yoga workouts for the ham strings. Then moved on to the 20 minute workout, which I could not finish at all! But my flexibility has improved a lot, definitely. With more sessions, I would be able to do this more comfortably.

I feel great! Really lookin' forward to be running again tomorrow! =)

Some sample Yoga for Runners can be found here:

Here are the happy medalists after the Condura Skyway Run =)

I ranked no. 791 out of 2,795 Runners for the 10K category, finishing at 01:15:41

Very happy with the results although I know I can still push it. I'm doin another 10K run on March 6. I'll just remind myself to dig deep. =)

"Yeah, it just got old. I'm well over you. It's like... liberating. Yeah. Finito."

Mmmm... Veggie.

My first veggie burger. HOMEMADE! The patty is 80% black beans, the rest are bell peppers and spices and it's surprisingly quite good. It's the best you can get out of a veggie burger. Texture is thick and a bit spicy and goes very well with lots of tomatoes and onion. I also just discovered that it goes very well with peperoncini. Really yummmy. =)

Took one lazy weekend up to Baguio with my Mom. We probably had the most terrible hotel in the city, but all in all it was quite fun. I love traveling with her, she's usually just up for anything. She makes the perfect travel companion, just do not make her walk too much. Hehe. Love you, Mom!
