Next Race: Rescue Run on December 23, 2012

I read about the Rescue Run yesterday. Since I haven't ran since the Milo Race, I was looking for a race I could join soon, although I didn't think there would be one a day before Christmas eve. Apparently, a run had been organized at the last-minute for the typhoon Pablo victims in Mindanao, scheduled on December 23, 2012 (this Sunday):

I've noticed that everyone seemed so busy with Christmas preparations that the impact of this disaster may have been overlooked. To date, more than a thousand residents of Mindanao have perished on account of the typhoon. For all runners out there, this is the perfect opportunity to do your part in helping the victims. This is also a good way of losing some of the holiday fat. :P

I was supposed to run the 10k category, but a group I was going to join is only running 5k, so I planned to run 5k instead. But then another friend told me she's running 10k, so I upgraded to that level. Hehe. As another friend put it, this is peer pressure at its finest :))

Here are some of the details I got from Pinoy Fitness:
