A day before Christmas, Swthrt and I and two of Honda Cars Pasig strong runners Richie Azcueta (a TBR Dream Marathoner) and Sonny Paronda decided to do a long run. Our starting point was at the Honda Cars Pasig near Eastwood City and our goal was to run at least 30K as part of our preparation for the Condura Skyway Marathon. We started our run at around 5:30 am with our route entrusted to Sonny who lives in Cainta. We took the Calle Industria Road going to Manggahan Floodway then to Ortigas Avenue. Our leadman, Sonny led us all the way to Greenland Subdivision in Cainta where he lives. It was quite noticeable that more people are into running as we saw a lot of them converged in a small loop inside the village. We were treated to endless left and right turn before finally exiting the village through its backdoor leading us to Highway2000 going to Club Manila East.
Upon reaching Club Manila East, we then again noticed that there were more runners along the wide road leading to the resort. We then proceeded to Taytay’s main highway where we had a short stop at 7-11 store to refill our hydration bottles.
After the pitstop, we then proceeded to the uphill Tikling Road and reached Havila Village before we went back to the main higway going to Rosario Pasig. We then turned right at Imelda Avenue and turned left at Karangalan Village that led us back to Manggahan Pasig and back to Honda via Calle Industria. We returned to Honda after four hours and thirty minutes. According to Sonny’s tracking device we only covered 28.5K but then it was a tiring but fulfilling long run. Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to all the runners!
