Of Running, Glenda, and Doomsday Prepping

Sungay Road, between Talisay and Tagaytay - Running amid a scene of destruction—in this case, a maze of fallen trees and electric posts—felt surreal. A part of me was thinking, we should probably help out the community in clearing these roadblocks instead of run-walking up this road with weighted packs.

We find ourselves doing this run after saying yes to Romi’s invitation. In preparation for the October Himalayan trip, he suggested we work up our cardio capacity by running uphill carrying a pack with at least a 10-kilogram load. He got Primer/ROX on-board to provide the logistical support; now he needs warm bodies to join him. Luckily, there was a van-load of people from UPM willing to try this out.
