After running 10 miles this morning, I attended to all the paper works which needed my attention and decision. Later, I called my Chief of Staff to relay to him my instructions/directives on what to be done in the coming days and things to follow-up among our subordinate units. After lunch, I reviewed our plans and thrusts for this year and came up with my schedule to visit my subordinate units within my Command in the coming days & weeks. I had to rest later and was able to sleep for almost two hours before preparing myself for another running workout in the afternoon.

 After a 20-minute stretching, I started my first round of the 2-mile route inside the camp. I finished the first round in 16:25 minutes. My second round was timed at 32:15 minutes, making the round covered in 16:50 minutes. My third round was timed at 47:42 minutes, which means that I made the last round in 15:27 minutes. I made a one-mile run as my cool-down run after running three rounds along the 2-mile route. 

I considered this running workout as a modified “speed play” where I increased my speed on the uphill portions of the route. My average speed for the run was 7:57 minutes per mile or 4:58 minutes per kilometer. This was my fastest time so far for the distance of 6 miles along the 2-mile route inside the camp.

I started my run at 6:40 AM along the 2-mile route inside the camp. As always, I started my run at a very slow pace because the first 200 meters is uphill with the rest of the 1^st mile going slightly downhill. However, the last one mile is a “killer” uphill one. 

The workout is a slow and easy run with emphasis on going strong and emphasis on knee upward movements in uphill portions of the route. My time for the first round was 17:50 minutes. The second round was timed at 35:07 minutes. My third round’s time registered at 52:35 minutes. My fourth round was at 1:11:48 hours. 

I was able to run 5 times around the 2-mile route with a total distance of 10 miles or 16 kilometers. My average pace was 9:04 minutes per mile or 5:40 minutes per kilometer. 

The following were data taken from my TIMEX Zone Trainer Digital Heart Monitor: 

Elapsed Time—1:30:41 minutes 

Time In Zone—1:13:12 minutes 

Maximum HR—153 

Minimum HR—86

Globe’s Mobile Connect Failed for the past days here in the Visayas.

 Starting in the afternoon of 15 January 2008 (Tuesday) up to the present (9:00 PM of 17 January 2008), the Globe’s Mobile Connect or Visibility Internet Connection is not available in Visayas and Mindanao. 

This is the reason why I could not access my Internet connection and be able to update my blogsite. Right now, I am in one of the Internet Cafe’s in Iloilo City trying to update this blog.

The next postings had been made from MS Word Document.  I hope the Globe Internet Connection in my area will be restored as soon as possible
