There are flaws in each of the Legs - hydration, bananas, and food but we'd like to believe the runners did not come for them, the runners came for the race - the trail. This belief has kept us going in spite of the hard work that goes with organizing trail running race event. For organizer its a learning experience. We started out with the Trilogy last May 27, followed by the 2nL last September 2 and finally November 25. To find the route, organizers have to go through hundreds of kilometers of probable trail routes. Its not easy as you all experienced going through the mountains.

Trailing Above The Clouds (Part 3)

Have you ever felt so little and irrelevant? So small and yet abundance of everything are provided to you every day? I have. My faith was renewed when I ran Natures Trail Discovery Run. I appreciated all my blessings just by looking at this canvass which is a masterpiece that was painted by the Hands of God. Moreover, being able to run on it with enough strength becomes my realization of how wonderful this life I’m given.

The long wait for the gunstart made me antsy. The sun is about to comeout. In a cold misty morning, theres a chill that runs through my spine. A chill that wasn't caused by the cold weather but rather from the fear and anxiety that needs to take a back seat once the gun start fires.

Jared started the count down for the 21K runners:

10.. 9.. 8.. 7.. 6.. 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1.. Boom!

Trailing Above The Clouds (Part 1)

There's something about trail running that frightens me. The weird thing is I don't exactly know what brought me that fear. But now, I have to face that fear and settle things out once and for all. Now I'll run Natures Trail Discovery Run with excitement (and anxiety) of a first timer. Off we go and cruised with a decent and consistent speed. The fast pace lasted for almost an hour until we made a turn to a rough terrain. "Here we are" - my utter mumble. We slew down a little as a precaution and after a short while, we came to a full stop. Then Christian, one of the organizers, announced that we had arrived and needs to get off the bus and start walking our way to the starting line. Haha! Continue reading to find the real race story. ;)
