I’ve got more than my share of post-pregnancy fat which have now transformed into flabby love handles. Despite the slightly loose skin around my middle, I’m not as out of shape as I think I am. To challenge myself, I’ve decided to run my first 5k race just four weeks after I’ve started training myself.

What better race to try than a race for charity?

Ramil has grudgingly agreed to join the race with me, hehe! Since it will benefit the Bantay Bata Foundation, shelling out 300 pesos for registration fee won’t be that bad even if I’m one of the last ones across the finish line. Unfortunately, I get an ugly first race singlet.

I would have loved a singlet that I would like to reuse. Instead, I get to run looking like a billboard for Mighty Bond. I guess there’s just some things that has to give especially since it’s a race for charity.

I’m pretty excited for it and I’m wondering how my first race will be. How about you, how was your first race?
