Condura Skyway Marathon 2013 - Teaser

I know it's too early to talk about Condura Skyway Marathon 2013. But i can't wait for that day which I still remember my first half-marathon which happened at Condura Skyway Marathon2011. It's a cause run for the dolphin then. Now it's a run for the mangroves and it will be held on Feb. 3, 2013.

This is the Official Logo of the CSM 2013

and this is the finisher's medal.

I definitely say that my whole Condura experience last 2011 was vastly different from my other run and more fun and inspiring!

Thanks to the Condura organizers for the good online registration, clean and comprehensive website, race kit which included safety tips and chocolates, a runner's e-handbook, attractive and high quality dri-fit shirt, wave start system, ample hydration, sponges and food, high quality medal, and personalized finisher's certificates. 

So get ready for another anticipated running event. 

Here are some memorable pictures of my past CSM 2011.

Hyundai Accent FREE Run – April 2, 2011

Almost forgot to publish my blog in Hyundai Accent free-run which was truly a great free fun-run with an enormous crowd gathered in the historic Quirino Grandstand. According to the report that it reaches 24,000 runners joined in this marvelous event.

 I belong to wave B and wore my nike compression short and nike cap but preferred to stick to my friends in wave C. The starting line was in Bahay Pambata across Kalaw st. U-turn for 10k was in Edsa and finish line in Quirino Granstand.

 Along Roxas Blvd. you could see a green marshals filing at the center of the boulevard and ample personalized bottled water in the hydration stations. You could also see the presence of PNP personnel, enough ambulance and medics.

                                                                                                            

Truly a clean and very organized run!

Yeheey!!! I just got my wish, a 2 nike compression short from my wonderful and very generous sister Ate Tess. Plus she gave me a nike cap and 6 pair of nike socks, Wow! What a good presence. Thank you Ate Tess for your unstopping support.

When i started running i saw mostly in a man wearing compression shorts. I ask myself what’s in a compression shorts. Why most runners want to wear it?

According to Wikipedia “Compression shorts” are undergarments usually worn by athletes. They are form-fitting garments and when worn cover the athlete's waist to mid or lower thigh. These garments are often made from a spandex-type material, similar to cycling shorts.

The main benefits of compression shorts are:

• Reducing muscle fatigue
• Helping maintain energy levels
• Improving proprioception
• Improving center of motion
• Increasing efficiency of movement
• Providing heightened responsiveness
• Improving force and power production
• Reducing muscle vibration
• Preventing Injury**
• In addition, there is some evidence that compression shorts may enhance athletic performance.

Aside from looking good it’s very helpful to my body. So, goodbye to my baggie shorts, although sometimes i have to wear them in my training run.
