Bloated Cheeks

Jun and I were supposed to train during the holidays- he in Iloilo and me in Bohol- in preparation for the 10Km and 21 Km events in Clark and Subic starting next week. Jun even brought with him a pair of running shoes to Iloilo.

Predictably, we not only failed to follow our self-imposed schedule, we managed to gain weight.

My cheeks have become larger and broader, it kept reminding me of an airport tarmac. You can actually land an airplane on it.

Jun said that I shouldn't be making pronouncements that I have gained weight because it only "raises expectations," it would only make their (Jun and Jen) weight gains appear more substantial.

And so over the week-end, we ran the entire stretch from the CCP all the way towards the Mall of Asia. And since we were famished, we had buffet breakfast consisting of sinangag rice, bacon, corned beef, and bangus at the mall. Jun said he's going to prepare pasta later in the day.

The following day, we ran for about an hour inside the UP campus in Diliman. We had tapsilog at Rodic's for breakfast. Jun said he's going to prepare crispy pata later.

We comfort ourselves with the fact that we will be running a total of 31km over two weekends.

My ref still has some left-over ham.
