Run Pia!

I went running with my church friends early tonight.  My first time to run actually.  When I finally got into my stride, it helped me finished 5k.  Not bad for a first timer like me.  I never thought I'd be interested in a rigorous exercise like this, in fact I've never run on treadmills at the gym before.  By the way, thanks to Cecille, Jacq, Annie and Lalien for the very fun run tonight.

Running has been on my mind for three weeks now.  I was drawn more into it when I attended the 5th Annual Philippine Life Insurance Congress at the SMX Convention Center last March 5 where Coach Rio Dela Cruz, the man behind RUNRIO, was one of the speakers.

Well, got to get a new pair of running shoes.
