Deuter's Nordic 1

I thank God for creating me as me. I have a high pain/stretch tolerance level. I can endure muscle pain for a long time without pain killers...of course the feeling sucks but I can manage somehow. Also, I observed that I can run 10K++ without hydration. What I do is I drink a lot of water before running then drink tons after. The downside is, I lose/waste muscles. And so I considered wearing hydration belts. I don’t bring hydration belts with me in official races since fuels are provided generously every 2K.

I’ve been eyeing these hydration belts from Nike. They’re cool. They’re nice. They’re Nike.--- I love everything about Nike! I think they’re excellent---one of my self-considered Super brands. It is known worldwide, the brand embodies superior performance, the logo reflects class and exclusivity. If Nike isn’t, it won’t be endorsed by excellent athletes [Michael Jordan, Manny Pacquiao etc.]

Going back to hydration, I can’t find them in our local Nike Parks, always out of stock. Am gonna need a better fuel belt for my long distance TBR Dream Marathon Training. I’m considering a high capacity single flask fuel belt and I found this: Deuter Nordic 1.

A hip pack made by Deuter which carries one big flask, designed for long distance PR’s and 2 pockets: one small pocket on the right side for car keys, ID’s and small stuffs; and a bigger zip-enabled pocket on the left side for gels, food, a cheeseburger and even a digital camera [if you want to capture the thrill of the trail]. Just one checkpoint: it doesn’t come with a flask. You actually have to purchase one or buy your favourite bottled energy drink from 7-11 for it. Luckily, my Fitness First tumbler which I never really used fits perfectly in it. Designed professionally, it is also very lightweight ‘like there’s nothing there.’ haha kidding. 4.5 diamonds for Deuter’s Nordic 1.

it's been 2 weeks since my last nutrition session for weight loss. I've been tracking my food intake for 6 or 7 months...but not that faithful. since am preparing for The Dream Marathon and am tracking my Cross Training, wouldn't it be nice to track also my food intake?
hmmm.......will think about it.

My Unused Singlet and Race Chip

Two days before the deadline, I registered for the Globe Run for Home race. It’s Globe. It’s one of my self-considered Super Brands. Been a Globe user since I had my first mobile phone, and I think Globe did a very good job in packaging its name for high-end use---that’s what I like about Globe.

Racewise, I was kinda disappointed because there were no slots left already for the 21K category. It was Wednesday and I’m in Alabang Town Center. I felt like am in the other end of the world and won’t have enough time to rush to the nearest Globe Reg. Booth. But it was my fault. I was given a chance to register in Globe Mall of Asia two days before but I did not. Then there I was making ‘kulit’ to the registration personnel to maybe do some ‘workaround.’ Am actually collecting finisher's medals but sadly...‘There’s nothing we can do, Sir.’

But since it is Globe, I still registered...for the 15K category. *sigh* but wait, there’s more! They ran out of large sized singlet so I got the medium size. It still fits...fit! Then Saturday came. Been going around the area canvassing for not too expensive furniture and fixtures for my new office. Then Sunday came, I woke up 3am and it’s impossible to be on time for the race. I had a full breakfast and as I was about to enter the shower, I thought there’s no way am gonna be on time for the race---and so I pulled it off. *sigh*

Learned my lesson. Great job Globe for coming up with singlets manufactured from pet bottles. and I heard there were no finisher's medals for 21K, maybe you can provide medals for your next races. Most people look up to it.

I know you guys had a great time running with Globe, “dahil sa Globe, abot mo ang mundo.” I look forward to running with you next year!
