New 10K PR unlocked. 🏃‍♂️⌚ My watched tracked well every step, split, and heartbeat, helping me stay on pace from start to finish. Every run counts, and today it paid off.

I was on my high school’s track team and continued running during my freshman year of college. But like many people, life took over /finishing school, building a career, getting married, and starting a family. Running slowly became a distant memory.
In my 30s, I was diagnosed with Stage 1 hypertension, brought on by years of unhealthy eating, smoking, and drinking. That became my wake-up call.
Last August, I decided to lace up my running shoes again. I started with just 2K then 3K, and kept building little by little. A few months ago, I completed my first 10K. Today, I’m incredibly proud to say I finished a 10K in under an hour.
I’m still far from where I want to be. My next goal is to complete a half marathon by the end of this year and if God permits, a full marathon in the years to come.
Progress doesn’t happen overnight. It happens one step, one run, and one decision at a time.
Never stop fighting. Keep moving forward. 🏃‍♂️💪

I tried the Cookie Cinnamon flavor, which the vendor said is a limited edition - and it was surprisingly good especially for the price! I’ll be trying the other flavors next time. The only downside is that it’s quite hard to find since only a few stores carry it.

Took a trip to Isla Reta in Davao, Philippines on a Monday and there’s only a handful of people with us thus we’re able to enjoy the calm and serenity the place has to offer.
