problem/goal:

hi, anyone here have tried reimbursing optical products from philcare? Balak ko sana kumuha ng salamin for anti radiation or bluelight lang since di naman totally malabo mata ko, but when i got checked sa diff clinics, (eo, ideal vision) may -0.5 grade for astigmatism mata ko. does this fall under prescription glasses that could be reimbursed by philcare? or may certain grade range lang sila na tinatanggap? baka kasi bumili ako (plus the polarized and anti rad lenses) tapos madecline ang reimbursement request hehe sayang.

thank you! no hate po

Usual pace: 8 min/km

5 km -45 mins to 1 hr

no special running shoes, just a regular rubber shoes i use in the gym. no equipments, no smart watch, no earphones (lol i dont really listen on earphones or headphones). no special running clothes (maybe some gym clothes pwede)

How should i prepare :> i joined a 5km once for our PE back in college but it was around campus so it’s very difficult from actual fun runs outside. Now im joining another 5 km cause runs are sponsored by our company so sayang din hehe.

i go to the gym around 4x a week and lift. Petite girl. Not really into cardio but would like to do some little by little. I sometimes jog in upd din if trip ko. Ill be joining the Pride Run in MOA! Ill be with coworkers but mostly di ko mga ka-age or kaclose hehe.

questions:

1. I’ll be commuting solo to MOA. Where can i keep some belongings? Haha like pamalit clothes, etc. for ref, i have an AF membership. Do you think i can use a locker from a nearby AF before the run?

2. What should I bring? I have a small belt bag. Phone, chapstick, small towel or handkerchief, loose change, and a water bottle? I have those cheap belt bags from shopee and i know you can put a small bottle but would it be fine or mahihirapan lang ako?

3. What to expect s 3 am call time? May need ba na registration or pilahan before the start? Also after the run, paano yung ‘lootbags’ do i need to queue in all lines? Marami bang tents pe sponsor (?) or all in one na sa isang pila? Where can i get the medals after?

4. Should i wear a cap? Borrow earphones from a friend? Idk give me tips hehe slightly introvert and first time to join runs like this 🥹🥹🥹

Hi! First time to go to an AF gym coming from a long break and bakal gyms:

-how do the lockers work, need magdala ng sariling padlock? First come first serve? i will be coming from work with really valuable items so i need them secured

-what about hygiene. free po ba rugs/alcohol sprays? or u need to bring your own

- for those showering in the gym, what kind of bag do you bring 🥹 i alr have a full laptop bag, then i'd still need another bag for my workout and shower clothes, tapos towel pa na super bulky, any tips for this? 🥹 do u reuse your socks when going home or you bring a pair of slippers?

-free mineral water? nakikita ko sa ibang branch meron,, or may fee din?

-workout accessories,, like yoga mats, bands for hips/pull ups/cable machine ankle ties (??), etc? may mga ganyan ba or you gotta bring your own?

-any other helpful tips related to AF or basta anything to be mindful of as someone na sanay sa mainit and murang gyms? 🥹

-not interested sa coach since may sinusunod naman akong routine ko before, pero may 3 free sesh ata sa home gym ko. how to take advantage of it?

-pros and cons of AF QC gyms (munoz, sm north, qave, west ave, morato, banawe, technohub, holy spirit, ever, fishermall, etc)

- may hair blower ba sa af munoz and sm north? these two are the closest to me
