I had an evening run in the camp in Jamindan. The street lights on the streets of my camp is very poor. There are parts along the 2-mile route where there is total darkness. There is a need to replace the old street lights inside the camp.

Last month, I filed my request to Higher Headquarters for the immediate replacement of the old and dilapidated street light system inside the camp. The overall infrastructure plan had been finished and filed with my request. I just hope that said request will be given immediate attention from the Commanding General of the Philipine Army.

Despite the difficulty in running inside the camp during night time, I was able to run 3 laps of the 2-mile course inside the camp. I ran an extra 1 kilometer as my cool-down run. My running workout was a slow run due to the absence of street lights in most of the portions of the route and the following data were taken from my GF 305:

Lap # 1

Distance—3.26 kms               Time—19:42 mins         Ave Pace—6:02 mins/km

Calories—244                          Ave HR—138                Max HR—154

Lap # 2

Distance—3.25 kms               Time—20:18 mins         Ave Pace—6:15 mins/km

Calories—238                          Ave HR—140                 Max HR—154

Lap # 3

Distance—3.21 kms               Time—21:33 mins         Ave Pace—6:30 mins/km

Calories—243                          Ave HR—139                 Max HR—153

Lap # 4

Distance—1.09 kms               Time—6:45 mins           Ave Pace—6:10 mins/km

Calories—76                             Ave HR—134                Max HR—143

I was able to run a distance of 10.91 kilometers or 6.8 miles.

As soon as the financial support for the street lights will be released, the street light project will materialize and it will make the camp as the most lighted area in the mountains of Jamindan, Capiz.
