Yep – you read that right! I’m joining the United Nations Women Australia team at Sydney’s City2Surf marathon. I thought having 3 kids, I’d pass the endurance test :), so I’d join in and raise funds.
“Marathon credentials”
- I was in the epicenter of earthquake in mountainous Baguio City, Philippines that made all land routes impassable. We walked the whole day through winding mountanside, ruble, and boulders.
- Tree-planting activities in a mountain range in Nueva Ecija with the environmental group in Miriam College. I remember having to join in pushing our ride, a jeepney up a slippery incline in the rain. That was fun! 🙂
- Walked to the Mt. Makiling hotsprings forest area for bird watching. Lots of uneven and uphill trails. (and snakes?)
- Well, I grew up near the Lamesa Dam and our mom would bring us to walk to visit her elderly friends who farmed in the mountain area near the Rizal border.
Granted most of these were 10 years ago, but I remember, after these gruelling walks, I was sore the next day, but not dead. I’ll finish the marathon even if it takes me the whole day! 🙂
