13 March 2008 (5:29-7:30 AM)

Waking up early at 4:00 AM for the Army Physical Fitness Test Challenge and its postponement brought me to an earlier and another long run for today. Starting from my quarters at Fort Bonifacio, I proceeded to the Heritage Park up to C-5 Road and back towards the Libingan ng mga Bayani for one round taking the outermost roads of the park. From the Libingan, I went to the Headquarters Philippine Army Grandstand and had one round in its two-mile run route. I went out from Gate 1 of Fort Bonifacio and went to The Fort, going around the different routes inside the complex. From The Fort, I went back to Fort Bonifacio.

I was able to cover a distance of 20.10 kilometers with a time of 1:58:13 hours which was a little faster than my long run yesterday. I started at 5:29 AM and was able to finish the run at 7:30 AM with a slow jog back to my quarters. I had a 15-minute stretching after I finished my slow jog.
