50km ultramarathon throwback! 🏃🏃‍♀️🤙

May 1, 2013, my wife and I ran our first ultra marathon in the Philippine Association of Ultrarunners / Bald Runner’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 “ultra runners” created by Philippine’s ultra running pioneer, Sir Jovie “Bald Runner” Narcise. Indeed nothing beats the Bald Runner’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! 🏃🏃‍♀️🤙

Oh, the temperature when we ran the course topped at 36°C! Heat index in the 40's! 🥵
