Tuesday Group

If you're from the Philippines and you were born sometime in the 80's or the 90's then you must have heard (or seen on TV) about That's Entertainment in GMA-7.  Of course who would forget the man behind this fad -- Kuya Germs himself.

There were "groups" who perform live on television each day. Each day constitute a "group". The Tuesday Group by far has the most number of members and has the most popular and talented members. The likes of Judy Ann Santos, Jestoni Alarcon, Janno Gibbs and then child star Billy Joe Crawford were active members of the Tuesday Group.

Sad to say the show lasted for only 10 years. Their last show was aired on March 1996.

Fast forward to 2010 (yes! just last year around November!), a group of young and energetic runners trained for their maiden marathon. Each Tuesday, these runners gather at the Cebu City Sport Center to do some drills, intervals, recovery runs, and GGB runs. They actually call these runs as "hamster mode" runs.

And each Tuesday, the group will always find time to bond and share laughters and cheers during dinner time. They also motivate each other thru Dailymile and/or Facebook or watch a movie before hitting the tracks. Bottom line is, they are just having fun.

Tuesday Group at the Cybergate (01.25.2011)

The Tuesday Group is actually composed of Ungo Runners Lorebelle Parcon (Miss Congeniality), Kristian Paul Garciano (Baby Garci), Sydney delos Reyes (the Spinner), Agatha Lllamasares (Momi-Marathoner), Daryl Lee Igot (Mister Congeniality) Frexchard Ramos (the Prodigal Runner), Ryan Gonzaga (the sub-hangak Runner), Hazel Sanchez (the Belly Dancer cum Runner), King2x Perez (the Dangling Runner), Adrian Catingub (the Promising Triathlete) and Richie Villagante (the Bumming Runner).

You see, these group isn't exclusive. We actually welcome newbies or other runners out there. Just show up at the oval (before the city government will renovate it) and then run with us... or eat or drink or run... whichever you are comfortable with. :-)

So see you guys next Tuesday for another round of sumptuous dinner and of course... running the hamster mode way!
