How It All Began...

It was August of 2016, when I was diagnosed with the first degree heart block. Although, it's not like as if it'll going to endanger my life just as any other heart problem can do, it still made me and my husband, Jon perplexed.

With that worry in mind, we started doing some light workouts. And together, we began to change our diet and slowly stretched our sedentary bodies. 

     And by October of that same year, we did our first run in preparation for the first funrun we have ever  attended to. We trained for weeks doing a 3K run around the UPLB ground.

                     

And on November 20, we attended the 3 Kings Funrun with our friends from the church. It was indeed a fun run. 

That was a milestone for the both of us who weren't actually living an active life.

Last January, I took another ECG test and was stunned at the result, I was already cleared from the heart block.

Aside from our earnest prayers and the change in our diet, running, I believed has played a big part to help me get cleared from that dreadful situation (well, yes, it is for me. The mere fact that it can turn up to be a life threatening when worsen, I guess I can really consider it that way).

                                       

By February of this same year, we joined the American Chamber Foundation (Amcham) Funrun, which is one of the biggest event of the year.

                    

                                         

We were resting and keeping ourselves warm after being soaked

from the rain during the last minute of running.

And last April 23, we also run in one of the most awaited funrun every year, the NatGeo Earth Day Run 2017.

It was fulfilling, though we are no veteran yet in this field. Especially, with the NatGeo Run where we level up our training. From 3 kilometers run, we trained for a 5k distance in less than a month.

Today, we have made running a lifestyle, and we can now officially call ourselves, runners.
