I didn’t have much time either so I studied Japanese just 3 hours a week for about 3 years before teaching although I still can’t say if I have mastered it. Proof is I try to take that proficiency test every year to brush up and/or improve.

I remember those bridges. Been there twice before but not into running yet at that time.

Not sure on the Singapore Marathon yet because I’m still mapping out my sched for September and October. Why did they have to schedule all those marathons in one month??? Are you running Milo, Smart Subic or QC??? I will join Milo and probably do half in Subic since that’s where I started last year.

Hehehe, that’s called competition, Alfred. =P

I already ran Milo. I’m much more bent on joining QCIM. Subic is quite far already.

Hey Carlo!
Great run and great post!
I posted a comment yesterday asking where you live and run only to find out in your other posts that by “south” you mean south of Luzon. I was thinking south of Manila… he he… I’m still reading your other posts… Anyway, reading this post made want to run in Cebu someday. My colleagues and I are thinking of taking the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (another hobby) in Cebu this year but it will coincide with the Singapore Marathon on December 6 so I don’t know yet. So many things to do, so little time…

Well, you got that right. I really am from south of Manila. i’m currently located here in Cebu for a systems development project so in some sense, I really AM down south right now. Hahaha. Yeah, why not have a run here? The twin bridges really bake the cake on this one.

Good for you that you’ll get to run Singapore on December 6. I have decided to let this one go because we have an implementation come this time and I can’t be absent on this day. This sucks. =(

How long did it take for you to master Japanese? I want to learn the language also, but I don’t have the time…

That’s was a good run, my friend. You sure are getting faster. Nice to know the second pair of NB 1063 helped. Congratulations

Thanks, Rico! =) Yeah, the second pair of running shoes helped. Although my left foot is in a bit of a pain now, I am happy to have broken my 21K record.

Hope we get to run together again soon, bro! =)

Carlo, congratulations my friend. Very consistent in the way of splits. Yes, revenge is sweet. That reminds me about setting the Garmin regarding the pace zones.

I know I’m thinking about the same thing in September when I try to make up for my poor 21K back in February.

Take care and have a good week ahead!

Hi there, Wayne! Yes, I am very happy that I had positive results for this “revenge run” of mine.

That’s right, might as well adjust your pace zones on your next 21K so that you’ll be constantly in tempo and you won’t go any faster or slower. Don’t worry, I’m sure that you’ll get even on your next half mary in September. =)

Have a good week as well! Take care, dude.
