2 More Days to Christmas Celebrity Run

What a great way to end my racing year! I’ve signed up for 21k at philstar.com’s Christmas Celebrity Run. A good friend (you know who you are!) insists I aim for my elusive sub-2 half marathon goal, but my body tells me it’s not the right time. I’m in the mood for a slow, easy, and fun Christmas-y run!

I’m thinking I should squeeze some bibingka into my compression tights, pour hot choco into my amphipod bottles, and keep an eye out for some great friends to celebrate a Christmas picnic-on-the-run! I could also hide a mistletoe under my cap in case I bump into Piolo! Hah!

See you at philstar.com’s Celebrity Run!

Disclaimer: My body may tell me otherwise within the next couple of days. If I go beyond picnic pace during the run, then that means I’ll be gunning for the sub-2 instead. We’ll see!

  2. I wish I can run. I am still resting my peroneus longus. I might be on the exercise bike later to keep my fitness level up.

  4. THE PHILSTAR CELEBRITY RUN WAS THE WORST RACE I’VE EVER ATTENDED! THE HALF MARATHON WAS A TOTAL DISASTER! THERE WERE A FEW WATER STATIONS, THE MARSHALLS WERE USELESS AND DRANK ALL THE VITWATER, NO FREEBIES AFTER, THE RUN WAS BORING AND IT WAS OVER PRICED AS WELL! I’LL ALMOST GAVE UP READING THE PHILSTAR TOO!! JUST A WARNING FOR EVERYONE, DO NOT JOIN THEIR NEXT RUNS..

  8. I am sorry to say that the celebrity fun run pales in comparison to the new balance and timex fun runs. I expected that after finishing the 10 k race, certificates would be given to the finishers. Nothing came after hours of waiting. All that the people manning the different outlets could say is that the organizers did not deliver the certificates on time. Too bad. I certainly will have second thoughts about joining their next races.

  9. To all people who really love to run, let us join the condura fun run. For the first time, I would try to run the 21k. See you, guys.

  10. Bad organization! Worse race Ive joined… I was about to run my 10km @ 530am only to find out that it was the 21km that was on the running start. Whatever happened to call time of 21km 5am… 10km 530am….

    Hey next time someone wants to organize a running event! I suggest you learn from the professionals who handle it. This is not just a fad!

  14. walang kwenta philstar celebrity run. Ang marker ng U-turn sa Lawton ay motorcycle na nakatumba, akala ko tuloy may naaksidente. Yung right turn from Lawton to McKinley Hill mababangga ka sa kasalubong na runners. Walang vitwater sa stations. Nakita ko yung isang marshall pagkatapos ng race isinasakay yung one box of vitwater sa van.
