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!
