 I had my practice run at The Fort this morning. After running three times along the road infront of the International School, which is basically the road extension from Market! Market, I had the experience of running along the road that surrounds the Bonifacio High Street Mall. I followed the route being used by a group of cyclists doing some criterium along the said route. I was able to see male & female runners running the said route whose faces are very familiar in weekend races in Metro Manila. I think they knew me because they greeted me and smiled. I had to greet and smile at them, too!..I was not wearing my runner’s cap!

I was able to run three times along the said route before going towards MC Home Depot and turning left towards Jollibee and ran towards One McKinley. From The Infinity, I proceeded back to Fort Bonifacio.

I was able to run 7 miles or 11.2 kilometers with a time of 1:05:04 hours. I considered this workout as an easy run.
