Most of my runs this past few weeks were during the night. Reason? I can’t wake up early in the morning during weekdays. So I decided to do my runs after my work. It is working, I can say. I can still follow my running schedule though, not that strict. I just have no commitment this month but I’ve been planning to join the New Balance Power Race fun run by the end of the month for my 2nd milestone.

Through their faces, you can see Me.
35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
Matthew 25:35-36
There was a small child who wants to lift a big stone. He was so small and so fragile child. Obviously he cannot lift a big stone that is much higher/bigger than him. But he really wanted to lift it and bring it home. From afar, his father saw this and observed his son doing his best to lift it up. He saw that his son even fell on his back trying to lift the stone. But the stone didn’t move even a bit. The father smiled and came to him. He lifted up the big stone so easily and his son smiled seeing his father helping him. “Didn’t I tell you to ask me for help whenever you face any kinds of troubles?”, he asked his son.
53Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
Matthew 26:53

6am in the Friday morning last week. I felt Ely grabbed my ankle as he woke me up. I can’t open my eyes because of the effect of the drink inside my head. I didn’t regret anything from last night. It was a great time. We had fun. I reluctantly stood up and dressed myself for a healthy full of activity day. I am excited because I’ve seen the Sports Center last night from the outside view when Ely toured me around. I can’t wait to get inside. I am thinking if there will be a lot of people. I washed my face and brushed my teeth. Ely was already outside waiting for me. Smiling, I ran outside. It took 3 to 5 minutes when we arrived at the stadium. Just a few yards away outside of the Sports Center, I saw a lot of people/athletes inside.

Thursday last week. I am so excited to get home after office to pack my things and shirts. I am going to Ely’s place at Marikina. We planned to jog at Sports Center, play basketball, and walk at the beautiful river side of Marikina. It’s already 9pm when I left home. I didn’t exactly know how to get there though I asked Ely for instructions a week before. I texted him again for directions while I am on my way to Boni EDSA. He said that I should ride a bus heading to Cubao and from there I can take a jeepney ride routing to Marikina Bayan. After crossing the Marikina Bridge I should be dropped at 7Eleven store near it. Directions were clear. I am confident now going there. I was thinking if I should take MRT or a bus but opted to take the latter to follow the protocol.
