Run United 2: RunRio Trilogy

This run was our first since March 2010 (dad's note: I rested for a while because of terrible back pain) and our 3rd time to join a marathon with my mom and dad. As usual, dad pushed my stroller for 3 Km. We ran previously at the Kerygma Fun Raiser and Condura Run for the Dolphins, both at the 5 Km category.
I was not sure then if I could join my parents because I was still having a cough caused by pneumonia but dad decided to bring me with them on the day itself. We arrived a little late, in fact, almost all of the runners already finished the race but still we ran together with the 21K runners.
We finished the 3K race after 24 minutes of running, oh well, walking most of the time I guess. A far cry, from our 34 minutes finish for a 5K run. Anyway, We'll do better on our next race. Dad and I will run on the 5K category while mom will run on the 3K category at the ING Running 20, a run for a cause in partnership with Habitat for Humanity.
Marathon will be our regular activity together as a family. (dad's note: Ok, though I am still feeling some pain on my back after running, but it's tolerable now)


Have a nice day to all,

Walking on My Own

Last Sunday, November 7, after the 8 am Mass at chapel of Sto. NiƱo, I begun to make my steps. One , two, three, four, five: I was amazed and begun giggling. Six, seven, eight nine, ten: I was in awe and shout with gladness. I did not notices that I made a few more steps before I stopped. I am walking on my own, yahoo!!!.
I was practicing it for weeks and now I could explore my world in a different way. I can now go shopping with my mom (dad notes: I now believe that shopping is therapeutic to women, Gabby looks okay now. She was diagnosed to have pneumonia a while ago), walk with my dad and play football (at home).

I am off and running, leaving babyhood behind. My first baby steps are, after all, my first major move toward independence.


Have a nice day to all,
