The date 10-10-10 only happens once in a thousand years. So this year's 10-10-10 would be very special to couples getting married; babies born on this date; and to some runners - a special day to run for a cause and be counted.
It was the El President of BRC (Buang Runners Club) Jack Morilla who mentioned to me one time that he will in Manila to take part of 10-10-10. It will be called the Run for the Pasig River 10-10-10. Jack, who is also a member of the Accenture Running Club (ARC), encouraged me to join as well. Accenture committed to bring 3,000 runners to the 10-10-10 race and aims to be the largest delegation in this fun run.
The organizer of this race is the ABS-CBN Foundation's Kapit Bisig Para sa Ilog Pasig and they will attempt to break a Guinness World Record for the largest number of runners/participants joining a footrace. The organizers are aiming to have 120,000 runners on this day to surpass the world record of 110,000 runners in the Bay to Breakers Run in San Francisco, USA.
There will be 4 running locations: 3K at SM Mall of Asia; 5K at the CCP Complex; 10K in Makati and a special 21K race for members of the military and police at the Luneta Park.
Aijeigh, Nikia and Katol decided to join this race. As promised, we will pace together in 5K Race.

I must admit, I was excited to join the Looney Tunes Run last Saturday. But days before that, I was really furious with the Timex salesladies (see Pissed Off story!).
Anyway, come race day, I was really early.... say 5mins before 4am. I took Mikaela with me and we took shots of Tweety, Bugs and Silvester and Taz. I had fun....
Well, I met fellow Ungo runner Teddy and his wife Belle. We had to share some insights about call center life, running + Ungo, photography + Canon vs Nikon, and other stuff. But he didn't ran. Belle ran for 5K.
And the gun went off with Noy Jopson upfront. I ran for 10k with Nikia. Twas my 3rd 10K and Nikia's second official race.
Well, I made a new PR for my 10K ran clocking at 1:01:55.
After the race, I took some photos again -- I saw some well-known running bugs like Max Limpag (who didn't ran because he was there to give moral support to his kid who ran the 500m dash) and Doc Reel (I was able to catch up with him and .gave him a goodluck tap on his arm).
Of course, who would not miss Twinkle herself... this time, she dressed up as a bunny.
And the kids??? Ahh.... they were soooo freakin cute!!!!!
Anyway, cheers to another well-organized race. Runcheck was there to support the race too.
Well done Katol. Well done Nikia. Hats off to both of you!
Next stop: DYAB Kapamilya Run (Sunday, June 13, 2010).
