With a few
more weeks left before my ultra trail race, I decided to have my training run
and break in my new trail shoes during the rainy weekend. While others ran the
wet streets of the city for the Cebu City Marathon, I was running the hills in
the south.
It was a
typical Alegria weekend getaway for me. I packed three sets of clothes, my
hydration pack, my running shoes, some fishing stuff and a box of munchkins for
the kids in Sitio Tumandok. I was hoping to do a little fishing once I got
there but the drizzle never stopped and the sea was turbulent over the whole
weekend. The weather also made the kids in Sitio Tumandok uninterested in
gathering around for our regular reading sessions so I just contented myself
with a PBA game show on TV. Television’s gotten boring for me so I don’t watch
TV anymore these days. I am a 90’s PBA fan and so it was a surprise for me to
see Tim Cone still in the league and an even bigger surprise to see Pumaren,
Abarrientos and Cariaso in suits instead of their jerseys. I watched a couple
of more forgettable TV shows after dinner before I turned in. Drowning the
sound of the TV still on, the roaring tide was my lullaby.
