RUN ONE PIECE AT A TIME

“Eat  your cake one piece at a time”, were the words of advice of Bro Carlo
Bacalla  of  the  Don  Bosco.  Together  with  Atty  Haide  Acuna,  the two
ultrarunners  graced  the  opening  of  the second installment of the Runnr
Academy at the Ayala Center Cebu Active Zone.  The two were the first ever
Cebuano runners who made it to the 160K Bataan Death March Run, putting the
name of Cebu in the local running scene.

Speaking from his wealth of experience as a runner, he  encouraged  us neophyte runners 

to take our time with running and start with  a  smaller distance until we increase our mileage.  

And that like any other  sport,  it  pays  to practice running.  He recalled that just as any
beginner  they  started  with 3K, 5K until they reach the 160K.  They never
thought they could reach 160K until they tried and conquered what others might thought impossible.
