"on a shoestring"

Earlier this year, I had my running nirvana at the same island.

You have read about my roadXtrail adventures at Mambukal Resort; my short but “Sweet” Run in La Carlota City; and my ala-Baywatch Run at Roxas City.

Now it’s on the island both foreigners and locals love- Boracay.

This is my Starting Line: Somewhere in Station 1

continuing the run here, somewhere in Station 2

I thought this will be my finish line (somewhere in Station 3), but as Nike goes, “There Is No Finish Line”

My Dailymile log reminds me of the 6K rave run:

I did the long stretch of the beach from Station 1 to Hotel Isla Boracay (Station 3). Then it rained hard, I still wanted to run so I ran from Station 3 to D-Mall (Station 2) while raining hard. Love running in the rain! Good times!

Running Stats:

Date of Run: July 18, 2010 (Sunday)

Route: Boracay white sand and road

Distance covered: 6 Kilometers

Running Surface: White powdery sand and a little cemented road at the end

Time: 41:03 (6:50/km)

Now, after this series of rave runs, I think its high time for me to experience running in these places:

How about you, where do you want to run? Please don’t tell me “at BGC.”

Note: This is the final installment of the 4-part series of rave runs while I was on the road during my 14-Day Backpacking Trip to West Visayas.
