After running for 33 kilometers yesterday, I had the whole day of Monday as my rest day. It is a time to recover my energy, by sleeping more hours during the day and eating a lot of food from breakfast to dinner with—broiled fresh “dalag”; crispy “chicharon/bagnet” mixed with bagoong & fresh tomatoes; “dinengdeng” na malunggay leaves with banana mushrooms; salad “caturay” flowers; kilawen na kambing, kalderetang kambing & pinapaitan na kambing; seafoods from roxas city (shrimps & crabs); kilawen na beef “lumo” meat with papait; and lots of fruits.

These foods were coupled with some bottles (at least, one bottle per meal) of San Miguel Pale Pilsen Beer and Gatorade.

For snacks, I ate freshly-cooked “pan de coco”, “monay”, “pan de peanut butter” from Town Bakery and the famous “soft” Biscocho from Pasuquin. Fresh Buko juice was my drinks.

Monday, Christmas eve, was a marathon day for eating and sleeping!!!

Running will be resumed tomorrow morning!
