21 February 2008
My short running along the Iloilo City Sports Complex Oval Track where I was exposed to rains made my body weak. On this day, I arrived in Jamindan early in the morning and I started to experience coughing. I did not mind it and I joined my officers, men and civilian employees for our regular taebo and 2-mile run physical conditioning activity which is usually done on Tuesday & Thursday afternons.
The taebo exercises lasted for 35 minutes and I had a 4-mile slow run as my last physical activity before the marathon race. However, my coughing started to be intermittent on the evening. I slept at 10:00 PM hoping that my body needed more rest and let my coughing pass away.
It was a big mistake on my part to have exposed myself to the rains during my oval track run last Wednesday evening. But my coughing will not prevent me from joining and finishing the 2008 Pasig River Heritage Marathon this Sunday morning.
I am wishing myself…Good Luck!
