Pacing for Earth Run



I wasn't aware of the upcoming Earth Run until I walked inside R.O.X. and saw people clamoring for a red gorgeous singlet made by Boon equipment for only 200pesos. I've had so many running singlets, and this one stands out. The Earth Run singlet was so gorgeous, I wouldn't be surprised if people registered only to get a hand of the singlet. I registered myself for the 16K and my wife for the 5K (which she intends to change to 10K after experiencing the TNF 100). I got hold of the blue singlet, while my wife got the red singlet.

This morning, I went to our usual tambayan where I saw kuya Melvin who asked me if I could pace during the Earth Run in exchange for a running singlet.

I said yes to get a red one of my size. Now I'll have blue and red Earth Run singlets. :)

I'll be pacing 5min/km for the 16K category. A 1 hour and 20 minutes work for a free nice red singlet and to shave 1000+ calories from the double Whopper I ate last weekend.

Oh, and if I'm lucky enough to be one of the top 300 to finish 16K I can get the Earth run shirt:

good deal pre! see you at the race. I'll be a pacer too of Swthrt (Baby) running her first 16K. I hope it's not for free too, hehehe

Bro J - You'll get a free kiss from her. :)

Admittedly, I was one of those who registered for the nice-looking singlet. With my supposed out of town gig cancelled,ironically I'll actually be running it. Hope to see you guys there.

Gingerbreadman - Now you get to enjoy the race and not just the singlet. :)

Sam - I'll see you this coming Sunday. You've done 21K at Botak so this should be easy for you. :)
