May Winnings

May had been a fruitful month to Xty because she visited the podium three times. After aborting her training for the upcoming milo manila leg, supposedly her 2nd full marathon event, she concentrated in just doing short-distance races. With just a day of training during weekdays (we were at runners low due to excessive humidity), she still managed to find her rhythm during races and eventually won runner-ups on three of the four races that she joined. She said she never run fast, it was just pure luck that the competition is not that tough. But I believe, there's something in her that I and many other people don't have; we were both runners, but she's a born winner. See related story here. "The month of may is really good to me, after winning on my first, the second and the third followed. Three is a charm indeed." she said.

  3. Jinoe - Thanks. Although I finished 7-8mins ahead of her in those races, she still got the podiums. Kunwari lang yung coach, hahaha.

    Mark - Naku, the kids are way afar from this running thing. Siguro when they grow older when they realize the benefits that fitness brings. Thanks for visiting.

  7. One good thing about the smaller races is that they allow very good runners to shine as well and be noticed, not just the elite runners and Kenyans among us! Congratulations!
