Hi there everybody!
It was my first time to join in a FUN RUN. Yesterday, the famous date 10-10-10 featured a run for the Pasig River in Manila. While, here in Baguio City, we have Free registration for the runners in every category (3k, 5k, and 10k)with freebies like water, key chains and free photos from the photobooth in Melvin Jones. Of course, winners would have medals and gift checks ^_^ Since it was my first time to join EVER, we only joined the 3k. Only to find out that the competition is open for the elementary level... hahaha. But, the announcer claimed that adults could still join in that level. And so, the fun begins... since Baguio has a "hilly" terrain, we walked when it's going up, my sister and friend eventually got tired and just did brisk walking.. it's their first time as well! haha... fortunately, I finished the race ;)I was dripping with sweat, but it was a good feeling and experience. I felt light actually...It was fun to experience something new and have fun with it... I enjoyed it very much. Though I have a sore body right now, I would join again ^_^
How about you? what is your experience? Was it FUN as well?

Hi my first fun run was way back in 2002. It was a school activity and it was compulsory on us. It was fun and back then we did not "fully run" the whole route...we jog, run, walk, jog, run hehehe...It became a yearly activity since then. Until now, I still join fun run activities. Lately, a lot of organizations and companies are sponsoring this kind of activities. We have the Milo Fun Run and this coming Halloween one of the prestigious hotels here in our place is sponsoring a fun run called "Fright Run." I love joining fun run aside from supporting its Causes I also like running and jogging as a means of keeping myself physically fit. Making a commitment to join the activity makes me compel myself to wake up, get up and get fit. This is one of the activities which i consider fun and healthy. Have a good day. Welcome to myLot and Happy myLotting! :D

I haven't joined one but I like the idea of it especially that these fun runs are for a cause. It would be tiring but fun as a new experience and at the same time you get to help other people.
I saw it in the news about the 10.10.10 fun run and they even won for the Guinness World Record. I'm happy for them.

the last time i joined fun run was the milo marathon in 2008 with my brother and his wife. it was fun because we meet a lot of people at see our friends too. the best thing that happen that day was i have enough time bonding with my brother and the benefit of the run goes to the street children.
