What Are You Doing this Valentine’s?

So, what are you doing this Valentine’s Day?  

Please don’t tell me about your candlelit dinner by the bay nor the meal you plan to whip up for your partner;  I don’t care for that (although you could tell the hubby so he’d get some ideas.)  I’m more curious to find out how active, adventurous couples plan to spend Valentine’s Day, which lands perfectly on a Saturday—the best day for a romantic long run before the sun rises…aaaah, if only I could run long!

Last week, I got an email about Valentine’s Yoga Classes at Yoga Manila.  I thought it would be fun, doing pretzel poses and head stands with the hubby, so I enthusiastically asked him “Hey, you wanna do this?”  He barked back “No way!”  Well, it was worth a try.

A long run together would’ve been ideal, but I can’t run over 5k just yet.  Swimming is not a good idea too as hubby doesn’t enjoy it as much as I do.  We’ll probably end up biking as scheduled in my program.

After that, I’m thinking we could go to Clark to watch the Philippine Hot Air Balloon fiesta.  (Thanks to my siblings for the idea.)  No workout for us and I’m sure I’ll be drooling when I see the roads of Clark, but it should be fun.  Anyway, those balloons may serve as a perfect distraction to the long runs I’m missing.

  2. Hubby was smart. Yoga is hard!

    Well I fooled him into taking bikram a couple of weeks ago. He actually enjoyed it. I think he’s just fearful of the “valentine’s yoga” :)

  3. Climbing Mount Pulog (2,935 metres above sea level, temperatures probably in the low single-digits) in my track singlet, tempo shorts and race bib. I wonder if PhotoVendo has a branch there :)

    Wow. Good luck and enjoy miraclecello. Hmmm…I’m sure Photovendo would be up for that challenge :)

  15. Go to Clark and have a short run around the parade ground (2 loops = 4.6 km). I’d recommend dinner at C but Chef Chris said that they are fully booked on the 14th….. Hot Balloon Fiesta food will have to do….

    Great plan, RG. Enjoy :)
