This morning, we ran 25K what we so called a 2
dozen kilometers under the rain in a bad weather due to typhoon Luis. I just woke up early to run this
LSD with my amazing running family Jeric, Boyet, Doc Cindy,
Twila, Dianne, Michael, Red, Andrew and Papong. Some of our group family members didn't come for some reasons, hope you guys will join us next time. Anyway, Lucena City to Lucban, Quezon is a
pretty hilly route from start to finish particularly Tayabas to Lucban. We ran
a little bit slower than usual under the rain and windy morning. It’s so
beautiful seeing again the majestic Mt. Banahaw in a foggy morning that it’s
hard to complain at all and that was pretty special.

Our group didn't usually catch inside in a rain storm in so long. And you know what? It felt so damn good. When
we realized we’re about to get absolutely soaked as the rain got harder, we
smiled. We enjoyed every single second. We ran slower than normal. We could
feel our shoes and socks squishing around but we didn’t care jumping some wet patch, ponds then play and just laugh and
keep running. Every now and then you have to go out into the rain to run,
even when it’s cold and the road is wet. Running in the rain sometimes will
make your skin chafes and blisters and it’s so awkward to other people see you
running while raining. But it still gives you more something to learn. It
retells us the happiness of the best moments in running, like when we were a
child, we keep running in spite of the bad weather, and mostly the weather makes it
better. That's how we felt..

What we wanted to express is the
happiness that running brings us. And we hope by sharing this we can inspire
other people to run, feel the happiness, show gratefulness, live a happier,
healthier and have a better life.
