Neorun Weekend

It was always on my bucketlist, to be able to run in a marathon ~ and I had tried to sign up since 2012 but it was always getting cancelled one way or another. First time was when I had to cancel because of a trip abroad and just this year, a freak storm in UAE (Color Run Abu Dhabi) T_T so of course it came to a point that I just have to make it happen -- my fitness goals were not to be thwarted! #CHAR #dramarama

HEHEHEHE no, I just wanted to run. And have fun doing it ~~ with the fiance and friends. It was like when I just got here, it was a novelty for me to find actual outdoor running grounds not located inside a sports complex - where it's safe to run (specially for women and children) even at nighttime. I just put on The Morning Rush podcasts and spend at least an hour and a half running, not thinking about anything. Come to think of it, I was majorly emo back then so to avoid pity parties, petty kabayan jealousies, homesickness and being overly tired from working night shifts with my home-based stint and dayjob at IHD, I ran.

Plus, I don't want to be idle on weekends. There are days when I go into hibernation mode but I'm all pumped up for my upcoming Turkey trip in November that I can't just sit still at home and watch Bring it On Ghost and Stranger Things Season 2 all day even if it's totally WORTH IT sooo here's where we ended up:


AUH Rescue vehicles - yess that's a Lamborghini that they allowed us to sit in later that night!



Scored a free ticket from GuavaPass! Thanks again Mehak!


However, us, the gurangs (Tagalog WOTD meaning oldies) didn't get to enjoy it much because it was mostly adolescents who were up for the party scene that attended. And I didn't get to run, mostly walked, because the path was too dark and the crowd was too rowdy.

Anyway, it was still fun and we did manage to party it up a bit afterwards for like 15 minutes. A colleague who came with her boyfriend went directly from the 5km walk to the beach and chill out but like the good ol' gurangs that we 3 are, we took selfies first then trudged on home to do laundry and watch Stranger Things Season 2 :)

AJA AJA FIGHTING!
