The date was May 08, the grand launch for South Road Properties or SRP. It’s a long strip of road comparable to NLEX/SLEX in Manila or SCTEX (Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway) which was developed to make travelling to the South faster and more convenient. SRP also features a vast commercial land that is worth millions in investments. Heard from the grapevine that a mall the size of the one in Pasay City will rise here soon.
A host of other activities happened on that day including the SRP Sundown Run 2010. More than a thousand runners registered for the 3K, 5K and 10k categories. And as usual, it was graced by familiar faces in the running community - people who run for fun and runners by profession. As it was in previous races, my objective was to complete the race. I didn’t care anymore who finished first, second or third in the overall. After all, it’s the same set of winners each time, from one race to the next. I grew tired taking photos of them. Kumbaga sa pagkain, na-umay na ako.
Some good things to note: It was a mile better than that infamous May 2 event. The captivating coastal bay view from the flyover. Alex finished his first 10K run. A bottle of water and hotdog on stick awaited runners at finish line. The exciting free ride on a 10-wheeler truck from SRP to Carbon. Photo session at Magellan’s cross. And the b-b-q dinner at Larsian.
Now, who says running is just running?
