This short article is somewhat overdue. Well, it is better to have one than never. I sort of promised to write this to one of the nicest and most responsible persons I know. But instead of just her, i shall include her real life better half. I shall be dubbing these guys the "power couple".
It really takes two to tango. Any kind of relationship won't work wonders if those in it don't love, trust, and help each other out. I am adding to this equation, discipline and being fit. Why? Because these two are not just in love with each other, they run together! (That is in running race events!) It is not easy to joggle everyday's tasks - work, life, love. Yet these two - Abner Eustaquio and Mary Gizelle Delos Santos- still manages to be fit by participating in running events! They have participated in quite a number of running events. Having patiently trained for each - 5k, 10k, 21k, 42 k. (Especially 21 km runs, where they finished with respectable times each run). It is quite fitting that all their hardwork be rewarded with successfully finishing the Singapore Sundown Marathon held during the last hurrah of May 2011. They bucked the injuries they have to participate in this running this event. It all boils down to having discipline, patience, and believing in themselves.
Kudos to this two for including practice runs at UP and Meycauayan Sports Complex, some 21 km as training runs, warm ups, cool down, and rehab sessions in their daily routine. Running is never easy. It takes hard work to participate in running events. It also takes proper timing and intelligent play on when should you upgrade your mileage. Pace yourself and never hurry.
No guts, No glory. Magic ingredients mixed together: discipline, faith, love, patience, intelligence, hard work. The end result is their being successful real life couple and running partners. I salute the two of you! Run and love at its best! See you soon at the races! Good luck and God Bless!
