25 January 2013


Looking back 6 months ago, my only objective is to run & have fun on
Dubai Marathon 3K Run...that time I was struggling with myself...whether
I can achieve it or not...

Last Friday..., not only me but my whole family ran during Dubai Marathon 2013.

Shoes MARYOSEP!

 
 Yesterday my daughter sofia gave ma a neon shoe lace for my running shoes.
(from NewYorker Store at Dubai Mall- 3pcs. for 9aed only)

And then I remember six months ago I almost change my shoes
for new one...( stories here: shoes Ginoo Part 1).

For me, a  wrong selection of running shoes is a major factor for having
an injury. Either you know your feet structure - you must step on
feet analyzer before buying a new pair.
(visit Saucony Dubai Mall - thay can analyze you feet structure for free).

Did you know that? The life span of running shoes ia approx.
500-800 kms (300-500 miles) distance run.

6K Easy Run at DFC (no.2)

Creative Running...this is what I called to my runs and one of this
is Alphabet Runs. This is a series of runs tracing alphabet letters
from A to Z (not in chronological order) on Dubai Streets.I created
a Map on which you can follow running route of a letter.

This is fun. Every run is unique, you will run in different roads,
pavements, sand, grass, rocks and sometimes you have to cross shopping
mall to complete you run.

Run now! Road is  open 24/7...it's free!

This is my 3rd Alphabet Run....
I just finished Figure of G, O and F,
and I will run my name within 2 weeks.
Try...It's fun and not boring.

During my run:
Illegal Parking, dark streets, workers, kabayan,
fast cars, contractors, new villas, clinic,
joggers, walkers, jogging lane, traffic jam,
cat, doctor, mosque, locals, kabayan, tourists,
dogs, metro commuters

Photography:
Most of the time when I run...I always bring
a small DSLR (Nikon D40X) plus Sigma 4.5mm Fisheye
packed on my running waist bag and ready to shoot
360° photos. During Long Runs I will carry my Nikon Point
& Shoot Camera to take a snap & 360x120 VR Photo.

But tonight...by mistake I took the wrong lens, instead of
4.5mm Fisheye lens, I grab my 10mm.But anyways I have to document
my run...

I set my camera on 10sec. auto shutter and
stand infront of it...and I have a decent photo. 

Technicals:
Camera: Nikon D40x
Lens: Sigma 10mm Fisheye
Aperture: f4.0
Shutter:2.5sec
ISO:200
PP: Cropped in PScs6

RUN with me on F

Day 10 of 21K Plan
F - Figure 9K Run at Umm Suqqueim 3 &
Al Sufouh, Dubai, UAE.

Previously to run on F is difficult besides the weather is cold and
I left my winter running gear...the main reason is I don't have my
running map.

After my 2 runs...it is important to have a running map specially
tracing letter thru run on a dense city streets like Dubai.
Reviewing the location thru Google Earth is not enough...you must
drive onto the street to confirm the streets are existing.

Doing this preparation gives me excitement and thrill.
Which street to run...? Do I need to run across shopping mall...just to complete
my letter, all of this stuff is fun.

Just try to run your name.
I hope your name is shorter than mine.

F or O run? - Run or Not to Run?

Run or not to Run?

F or O run?

...'don' have jacket, i left my bonnet, no long sleeves shirt, no running pants and the weather outside now is 23-24° C - cold at 5:50 pm and keeps on dropping...run or not to run?

Day 6 of 21K Plan
F - Figure 9K Run at Umm Suqqueim 3,
Dubai, UAE.

OK ....I WILL RUN! but not on F, I will run in O  at Safa Park, Dubai.

Reason:

     Safa Park are more dense, more trees which can give heat.

     I cannot run F...I forgot my map (dont know where to turn to...).

     Running F in daytime is easier (residential area) than at night.

Final Todays Run:

Day 6 of 21K Plan
O - Figure 10.5 K Run (3 loops) at Safa Park,
Dubai, UAE.

During my run...Gary Goquil of FRU (Filipino Runners UAE) passes by.(nice meeting you again Gary)...
