The Run-up
I decided to run the Milo Marathon again as a follow-up to the Subic Marathon and also to hopefully set a new PR (personal record). However, the universe had other plans for me, yet again.
I got another out-of-country assignment which started in April in Australia, this time, for 8 weeks. This meant I needed to begin my training in Melbourne and then continue in Manila when I went back there in June.
Well, work got really hectic especially during my last 4 weeks in Oz - I needed to do early days and late nights that I was only able to put in a full weeks' worth of good training, and engage in sporadic long weekend runs throughout my stay. I wish I could've done more running around in Melbourne, but my drained will power was not up for it. When I went back to Manila during the last weekend of May, I promised myself I was going to make up for the lack of training for the next 8 weeks leading up to race day.
Run United 3
The following weekend after I got back in Manila, my running girlfriends and I joined the 32KM race during the 3rd Leg of Unilab Active Health's Run United series. We kept each other company from the start till the end.
