So Many Races, So Little Time

From now until the end of July, each weekend is booked with not just a race, but a good race. Just check out my list of races.

My running conscience has been tapping me on the shoulder, telling me to take it easy and not get overly excited again, but I can’t help it! Race organizers nowadays always have something new to offer, so I end up spending Mondays to Fridays scratching my head thinking “Should I?” or “Shouldn’t I?” 9 out of 10 times, I give in.

Here’s my racing schedule from now until the end of July (my race schedule is subject to change depending on my mood):

June 14: Animo Triathlon. Too bad I can’t make it to PTAA Charity Run. I still registered for PTAA earlier today though and I’m crossing my fingers I win the roundtrip ticket to Honolulu. (Yes, you can win the raffle even if you don’t run.) If I win that, I would take it as a sign that I should run the Maui Marathon!

– Bumped into the CougCat Family (Arnold, Thess, and Anton, The Leaping Cat) this afternoon as we all registered for PTAA Charity -

June 21: Men’s Health, easy pace
June 28: Botak or GIG…still choosing
July 5: Milo…10 or half, still choosing, definitely it will be easy pace
July 12: Robinson’s Fit & Fun, 10k
July 19: SECRET BIG RACE…I’m super excited for this. Blocking off my sched for this one. I highly recommend you do the same. This race by Finish Line will be in a new route and will have a lot of new offerings for runners. Wish I could tell you, but I have to zip my mouth until Tuesday.
July 26: Come Run with M.E…of course I’ll join a race organized by my alma mater!

How about you? What’re you’re plans for the next month and a half? I’m guessing it’s as busy as mine.

Good to know you’re blue too! I wonder what batch you are in. During the Mizuno event a lot of my batch mates joined (surprisingly good).
Anyway, see you on the 26th of July,! Or maybe in earlier races, I’ll make sure to say hello.

So many races indeed.

Be doing the PTAA 10k hopefully with a better time.

Supposed to have done a runabout today at 4 am as a test run for the botak 100 but had to be in the office.

Happy running na lang for the rest of June and see you at the finish lines!

Too much fun, too little time! I can totally relate. I’ve had to be more disciplined and not sign up for some races. I have friends who use other races as part of their training but I can’t do that. I race to race.

If you had to guess, how much do you think running events have increased since you started blogging? I’m asking because looking in from the outside there seems to have been a big jump in events.

P.S. Replied to your message. Hope you got it. Seems like my emails to PI lately have been disappearing in the net.

I signed up for the Botak race coz the ROX ladies sold me to the shirt being available earlier but saw the GIG one so might run the 3k of that right after the 10 of Botak…crazy, I know.

Hi Jaymie! I’m part of the team organizing the exciting race coming up on July 19. Hope to see you there and hope to get to meet you as we promote it. By the way, you’re a batchmate pala of my sis (Agoo Azcuna) and her hubby (Andy Bengzon). I’m true blue too, but batches ahead ME Batch 89

Jaymie, my birthday run at the Mizuno would have been complete had I seen you last June 7 (sigh . . .) but the thought of meeting you during the Robinson’s Run lifts up my spirit.

See you July 12 Jaymie!
