Strathletes Running Group

After our Men's health Miracle Run 2009 Event, I stopped joining running events for a while. I became busy in my payroll system project and I also joined our company basketball league.I focused on weight training that time and build a massive 190 lbs body.

Alfred and Madelin (There were no MinnieRunner and RunningAtom yet) invites us again to join  the GMA Kapuso Tatakbo ka ba fun run.  I Ran 5K without practice and I finished the race at 57mins.

Tatakbo Ka Ba Fun Run

That was the start of our running career. The goal of just finishing the race was replaced by beating our personal record. We start listing our time and aiming to beat sub40 in 5K category. That was the time
when RunningAtom and MinnieRunner were Born. They created a blogsite named Strathletes that came from the word Stradcom Athletes (A group of health conscious Stradcom employees). The site was created to give information  Running event schedule, Running tips, Post event reviews, Race results, Photo Gallery and PR List of members.

My very first running group

It was august 2008 when I started to join running events and my first event was Men's Health Miracle Run.
Running Atom, Carlo, Cris, Dexter and I decided to run just for experience. We just want to try and have fun and to burn more calories. That time, we are in the middle of our Appdev Biggest Looser Challenge .
Way back 2008, Running was not as expensive like today. The registration fee was only Php300 and it includes a race bib, Singlet and Loot bag that contains chocolate bars, supplements, MH Magazine and Gatorade. I ran 5K and I cannot recall my exact time anymore but I think its more than an hour.

Men's health Miracle Run 2008

A few months after, We joined the MH Urbanathlon 2008. The event is not just running but also includes hurdles, obstacle course and wall climbing.  We have recruited Cherry Calleja, Jem Estrella, and Mac Pastrana. It was a very challenging and fun event.

March 2009,  We joined the Men's Health Miracle Run 2009. This time, the group was starting to grow.
We have recruited Shai, Manny, Zen and Roger.

MH Miracle Run 2009

When I started running, my goal was to loose a lot of fats for me to win the weight loss challenge and to have a lean body for summer outing. I have a difficulty in running during those times. I was not able to run continuously, I have to walk after a few kilometers because I was experiencing shin splints and side stitches. I do not even know what PR means and my only concern was to finish the race.
