"on a shoestring"

Check out Rave Run #1: Mambukal Resort and Rave Run #2: “Sweet” Run in La Carlota City before continuing…

My DailyMile log says, “I met a fellow runner, Reynold. We run the first 2.5k on Boulevard road, then the remaining was done on sand. It was a nice run.”

I started out at Km.0 of Roxas City, there I saw Reynold about to run towards the Boulevard Road, so without doing stretching I hurriedly run with him. It was his cool down run as he already run hard earlier. He was so fast and I think we are running 5:15-5:20/km. I started talking to him so he can slow down. I learned that he was once a varsity in highschool. However, when he graduated he wasn’t able to continue training because there is no support in college. This is a sad fact in most areas where our athletes (with lots of potentials) are short-changed because of lack of budget. I hope the government would do something about this.

Anyway, I continued running after we part ways on Km.2.5. I then run on Baybay (shore) and watch the small surfs kiss the dark sand of the city. I was able to visit the “tuyuan” too. You can check out the pictures below.
