Virtual Training Run No. 6

It’s back. The Virtual Training Run that a few of us crazies so happily took part in last year. (Search for “Virtual Run” in my archives if you want to read V-Runs 1 through 5). Now, the headmaster of our V-runs, E-rod, is back from hibernation and is raring to go again.

This is how it works:

Runners separated by geography do a training run “together” wherever they may be in the world. We set a distance (more or less) and meet at a specific time, so 6:00 am Manila time makes it 6:00pm US East Coast a day before.

DATE: 30 July 2008, Wednesday (Manila time)
TIME: 6:00 A.M. (Manila time)
DISTANCE: 10 km/6 miles (or whatever you wish)

The following are past participants and most of them have already committed to joining us. After the training session, each participant writes a quick recap of the session so that each of us benefits from this collective effort. If you don’t have a blog, fret not, just comment on one of our blogs about your experience.

Hi Jaymie…stumbled upon your blog through Biangge. Please count me in! I started running summer of 2004 when i was religiously working out until i got pregnant last 2007. I usually run in ADMU. I have a seven month old baby. I thought, i need to start my fitness regimen and so I went back to my ‘old love:running:)’ last may. This will be my 1st virtual training so far.-therunningmom

hi! i spotted your site after searching for some serious running. you see, i’m 39 and is deeply in need of a fitness regimen that will relieve me of stress and not bore me after a few sessions at the same time. i’ve been to yoga for 5 years but because of too much workload, i can’t seem to find the time to squeeze it in these days. I’ve been thinking of trying to run but I’m scared of injuries. can you advise me what to do as a beginner? I’d really appreciate your help. thanks!
