50km ultramarathon throwback! ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿค™

May 1, 2013, my wife and I ran our first ultra marathon in the Philippine Association of Ultrarunners / Bald Runnerโ€™s 5th edition of the Tagaytay to Nasugbo 50K Ultra Marathon Race. We had a treasure trove of experiences learned on this one.

It is very astonishing how your mind and body can make a seemingly impossible experience possible.

Aside from discovering ourselves more as a couple in this particular event, we were overwhelmed by the sense of community and family of the Philippine โ€œultra runnersโ€ created by Philippineโ€™s ultra running pioneer, Sir Jovie โ€œBald Runnerโ€ Narcise. Indeed nothing beats the Bald Runnerโ€™s Ultra Marathon events.

Today, May 1, 2025 the 15th edition of this ultra running event is ongoing. Congratulations to all starters and finishers! Cheers! ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿค™

Oh, the temperature when we ran the course topped at 36ยฐC! Heat index in the 40's! ๐Ÿฅต
