Since I’m a nocturnal (I work at 12midnight till 9 in the morning), I wasn’t able to participate in the Planet Sports Run. So I decided to let Nikia take some rest and brought Mikaela instead to take some photos with me. Mikaela is my Nikon D70s DSLR camera. And yes! while Nikia has her own running blog, Mikaela has her own photoblog as well -- A Tribute to Mikaela
Mikaela took photos of runners and spectators alike. We then decided to write a photo story and post it in Nikia’s page. In this post, you’ll see different kinds of runners (and I created their own moniker. peace!).
So, one day at Planet Earth... runners converged at the starting line..

Runners! Ready! Set.....
Go!!!
of course, the competitive runners are always up front....

ReplyDeleteSo when did Mary Joy Tabal became a USPF athlete? she's supposed to be SWU, I think the girl in your pic is not Mary Joy. And thats also confusing coz Mary Joy joined the team woman lactacyd run on the same date june 27 in taguig http://teamwomanrun.com/relay/ they even placed second http://www.pinoyfitness.com/downloads/teamwomanrun-results-teamrelay.pdf
