Oh yeah, my first time was very memorable ;)
I had to go all the way to CamSur last year and ran 10k at the CamSur Int'l Marathon. I had alot of excuses why i joined. I wanted to have a reason to stop smoking, I wantd to try marathons, I wanted to visit Caramoan. Wala naman na-accomplish from those excuses.
Pero since then, pag nakakakita ako ng registration site, sign up agad. Paisa-isa ng umpisa pero recently dumadalawa na. Baka nga maging weekly na rin, hehe!

my first 5k was in unilab run last nov 2010. sa totoo lang if not because of the festivities and lots of freebies during that run i would not continue joining funruns then..hahaha! i can still remember every puff of breath, the panting of my heart, during my first 5k. and i told myself that no way ill be doing this again..haha! :)
but now i keep on joining races because i fell in love with the sport..i cherish now every huff and puff of breath, the pain after every race. every stride in an unknown road. whoa! i love running! hihi!!:))
My first run race was the 2008 PSE Bull Run. Did a 10k, but have been running around our neighborhood for the last 15 years. Enjoyed it and did it in 56 minutes!
I did my first ultramarathon before doing a marathon, the Pinatubo run the same year, organized by the Pinoy Ultra Runners but got injured. My first marathon is the Botak Marathon in 2009, where all participants got lost, dehydrated, and the distance is longer than 42k. First triathlon was the UPLB back in 2009.

March 20, 2011, Run for Hope.
My mind setting lang tlga that time was to join a run for a cause, para sa pediatric cancer patients. But after crossing the finish line, got the feeling that I cannot say what it was pero...isa lng masasabi ko, ang gaan ng feeling, ang sarap sa pakiramdam.. and I told myself, na if ganito lage ang pakiramdam after crossing the finish line , I will definitely start and continue to join many running events :)

My first run race was with Alaka Family Run last May 7, 2011 together with my 2nd son for a 3k event.
I got interested in running when I saw my staff carrying the race kit for hyudai free run, got disappointed because I wasn't able to run in hyundai, that is the time I decided to do running as my exercise routine not because of the race kit but for a healthy lifestyle.
After the Alaska Family Run, I always visit pinoyfitness to look and check the available running event.
I also read the comments of other runners to help me decide which run event will I join.
I started May 2011 with 3k, for June & July 5k, and for August 10k starting with ADBR but I'm still thinking for Milo to debut my 10k run.

I ran my 1st race last November 2010 for the 1st ever "Nurse Fun Run" at CCP with my bestfriend out of fun. It was a 3K run. But just last May, I decided to take running seriously. I joined the "Build to Run" event 3K category at Tiendesitas last May and was included among the T0p 20 Finishers in the female category. Then I joined my 1st 5K run last June during the Brooks Run Happy event at Bonifacio, Global City. Will try my luck on my first 10K this July, hopefully on the upcoming 34th Milo National Marathon event. Running definitely gives me this runner's high and i agree, it's totally an addicting hobby and sport. :)

Replying to @pissedoffchick's post:
Hi 'pissedoffchick' I am assuming 80% that you are a nurse because you joined the 1st ever Nurse Fun Run held at CCP last year. Well I think anyone can join that event but most of those who joined are nurses. Haha I am interested in knowing because next month I'll be graduating as a student nurse. HAHA! Hope to see you on some events!

Replying to @ta1_martian's post:
Haha, yup. I'm a nurse already. I got my license last 2009 but well, I'm not practicing my profession as of now. Lol. Maybe in the future. I'm on a different field, lured by a higher salary. Lol. I currently work as a communications assistant. Just continue what you're doing and if nursing is indeed your calling then go for it. :)
My first run was at MAKILING CHALLENGE year 2007 when I was taking up my PE at UPLB. hardcore 5k because i think 75% of the course are hills (hehe not sure but it was really tough). finals for the subject was a 10k run but I never ran again after that bec. of a tight student schedule.
First run here in Manila was last year at GLOBE RUN FOR HOME. just 3k. from there I started training to run longer distances during events, fun runs, trainings, and even just jogging sessions. =)
My first run was a 3K in Run4Life. The event was held in Alabang last July 2010. I was with my runner friends (a couple) and their daughter. The couple said I will get "bitin" by 3K - and it was true. I loved running!
By the way, their daughter, age 6, ran 5K that day. So consider it as my first running embarrassment as well. :D

Actually, what got me started was inggit, hehe, yung friend ko sumali sa Adidas KOTR last year. E yung kaklase ko na yun yung parang pinaka non active sa amin. Kaso I had a big problem back then, Obese type 2 ako nun, hirap na hirap ako nun, di ko kaya tumakbo kahit 100m. So from then on I decided to lose weight.
My 1st official run was at the Goldilocks 45th anniversary run, did a 5k there, did it in 29:10. 2nd was at the "I Run for Integrity" tried a 10k there, did it in 1:06:08 and 3rd was at the "Run for Humanity" did a 10k, tinry ko mabeat yung PR ko, nasurprise ako na nagawa ko in 56:20
Nakareg ako sa Slimmer Run 10k, buti na lang namove ng July 10, bumaha kasi sa amin Friday night, hehe. Hopefully mabeat ko ulit yung PR ko :)

Tagal na ko tumatakbo pero laging w/in the village lang kasi libre eh hehe... But my official first run was May 2010 Takbo para kay Kristo kasi ok yung beneficiaries at yung venue maganda(inside Ayala Alabang Village). 10K agad ako kasi super bitin ang 5K sa akin. Now naman bitin na ang 10K sa akin kaya 21K naman ako. Kailan kaya ako mabibitin sa 21K???? To follow

My first race was 3K Condura Skyway 6th of Feb 2011. I remember it very well. Nasira pa nga tyan ko dahil sa kaexcitedan :) I took two diatabs before the race. Takbo pa rin ako kahit hilo. Dahan dahan lang pero worried ako baka mag collapse. Buti na lang na tapos ko rin. Happy hapi ako at proud, I got my first medal. Wow, ganito pala ang feeling pag may nagche-cheer, kahit hindi naman ako ang che-ni-cheer. It was also my first time to go to BGC, naligaw pa ako. Hindi ko alam kung saan sakayan pauwi. haaayyy, pagod na pagod ako sa 3K. Ayoko ko na ulitin. Ang ibig kong sabihin, sira ang tyan na tumatakbo. Ngayon, I can run 15K and I am preparing for Rexona 21K as may practice for the Milo 21K this 31th July 2011.

my first run was Milo 2010. that was July. my first 5K. Actually, katuwaan lang namin ng travel buddy ko. para maiba naman trip namin eh try namin ang takbuhan. Wala pa akong running shoes non, kasi hindi talaga ako tumatakbo outdoor. taebo at elliptical trainer ang gawain ko lagi dati. Bumili ako ng knock-off na nike shoes sa greenhills that time. Then, nagustuhan ko ang takbo. after non, sunod - sunod na ang mga fun runs na sinalihan ko. minsan nakaka 3 fun runs ako sa isang buwan. at bumili na ako ng mga running gears, i started with my adizero shoes.. nakaka-addict ang takbo!
nag-upgrade ako ng run - from 5k to 21K...

First run ko nung 2010 nung nagkaroon ng event sa office na 5K run. Pagod na pagod ako non and sumakit yung binti ko. After that run, bumili ako ng running shoes ko. Kaya para masulit yung running shoes ko, sumali ako sa natgeo run nung april 2011. That was my first 10K run. Then nasundan ng mizuno run (10K) and yamaha run (21K).
