Cclex Run (2nd Time) w/ Another Good Friend

It was a blessed day; we finished the run soaking wet but we’re the happiest. The goal was to return early before the sun reach its peak! It would be so hot if we’re not on time and if it wasn’t raining; that’s why we’re so blessed that day.

Our schedules met so we’re able to finish the goal.

She wants to finish 2 ways, which I already did last June 17, 2024 with another good friend (a workmate at Kudo Support 10 years ago! I made really good connections back then, and they were all on the right track. I am so proud of them and even more thankful and grateful that I get to do activities with them 10 years after.)

Anyway, it’s indeed my 2nd time running at cclex! On our quest to racing with the sun, we realized a lot of things; from the start, we noticed that cclex is the only place in Cebu which offers the cleanest and the most beautiful mountainous view, giving us a unique vibe of being in a different country.

Since she’s recovering from her cold, I offered to do speed walking instead to really achieve her goal; so that no leaves will be wasted. We did speed walking for 6 km and then soon as we reached the middle of cclex, we jog all the way down. It was the best feeling in the world; no time wasted.

Time for us to return home and we started sensing the rain drops while we’re already in the middle of the cclex bridge; no turning back from where you started, that’s the rule; so we kept on going with grace and gratitude that we made it that far. I really love hearing the words, “Thank you, Lord!” It’s the best feeling in the world.

It was raining and she’s kind enough to share with me her bag. I placed my phone inside and we kept on moving. I learned another technique to keep moving and that’s utilizing the signage; make it a goal and then once achieved, set another one! It was a whole lot of fun.

It’s also been my wish to play under the rain like I did when I was just a clumsy little child. It’s hard to do that in the city, so cclex walkathon/marathon (2nd) was a blessing! It was a holiday by the way in the US! July 4th, 2024.

Anyway, we have another goal and that will be to run on our own. So we are going next time for the 3rd time (for me) but this time she will be heading first since I will be late for 30 minutes. It’s going to be a challenge to catch up but I’ll do my best.
