Getting Ready For My First Marathon

Globe-Ayala Run For Home"Globe-Ayala Run For Home" will be the first fun run I will attend, quite excited... I registered for the 5k run......so I've been searching and reading tips on how to get ready for my first marathon

These tips will help you prepare and go the distance for a marathon or any long-distance running event.
  1. Condition your body
    To avoid muscle pain or serious injuries, keep yourself in top physical condition. Stretch out and exercise regularly. Do short sprints around the neighborhood, and extend your run to longer distances. By the marathon's date, you'll be fit enough to finish the race.

  2. Get the right gear
    Running shoes and clothes are more than just for looking good. They not only keep you comfortable, but also protect you from harsh elements. Here are some suggestions when looking for the proper gear:

    • Running shoes provide support and comfort during the run. Try to buy the best running shoes you can afford. Good running shoes have adequate cushioning, a good fit, and are made of sturdy materials.

    • Layers. Singlets, shorts, and running tights do more than just identify you on the race course. Lightweight, breathable fabrics wick away moisture from the body, and keep you cool and comfortable as you run.

    • Hydration. Sports drinks or water should always be on hand to keep your body cool. Keep them on hand with a hydration belt.

    • Sunscreen and accessories. Sunblock and sunscreen help protect you from ultraviolet rays. Sunglasses keep the glare out of the road, giving you a clearer view of the course. If you have long hair, wear a cap or a headband to wick away sweat that may get into your eyes.


  3. Watch what you eat
    Carbohydrates are a great source of energy that you need for a marathon, and protein helps build the muscles needed to withstand the race. Avoid junk food and empty calories. Energy bars and protein shakes can also help satisfy your sugar cravings.

  4. Stretch and cool down
    Treat a marathon as a vigorous exercise. To prevent unnecessary injuries, stretch before the run, and cool down after.

  5. Get yourself involved in the community
    Many clubs and organizations help novices and beginners get started in the sport. You can learn a lot from veterans of distance running, as well as form new friendships on the track.

  6. Enjoy
    Marathons keep your body fit, test your limits, and help you enjoy the fine art of running. With these tips, you can make it your quest to go the distance in more races to come.

    The thrill of crossing the finish line first may be the ultimate goal, but the best reward is finishing and enjoying the race. Have fun, and take in as much of the scenery and the experience as you can.

Fire Safety Facts

Fire Safety Facts

  • Fire is fast! In less than 30 seconds a small flame can get completely out of control and turn into a major fire. It takes only minutes for thick black smoke to fill a house.
  • Fire is hot! A fire's heat alone can kill. Room temperatures in a fire can be 100 degrees at floor level and rise to 600 degrees at eye level. Inhaling this super hot air will scorch your lungs.
  • Fire is dark! Fire starts bright, but quickly produces smoke and complete darkness. If you wake up to a fire, you may be blinded, disoriented, and unable to find your way around the home you've lived in for years.
  • Fire is deadly! Smoke and toxic gases kill more people than flames do. Fire uses up the oxygen you need and produces smoke and poisonous gases that kill.
March is "Fire Prevention" month and every year, more than 100 Filipinos die in home fires. Thousands more suffer with the loss of house and valuables while hundreds are injured by fire.

Records showed that:
Year ~ Total Number of fire incidents
2006 ~ 8,823
2007 ~ 9,042
2008 ~ 7,726
2009 ~ 8,271

If a fire occurs in your home or office, your chances of survival will depend on how quickly and safety you are able to get out. "Don't panic"
  • Time is the biggest enemy and every second counts! Escape first!
  • Develop a home fire escape plan and practice it frequently.
  • In your fire escape plan, designate a meeting place outside.
  • Make sure everyone in your family knows two ways to escape from every room.
  • Practice feeling your way out with your eyes closed.
  • Never stand up in a fire, always crawl low under the smoke and try to keep your mouth covered.
  • Never return to a burning building for any reason; it may cost you your life.
  • Finally, having a working smoke detector dramatically increases your chances of surviving a fire.
Know your local emergency numbers and let your children memorize the emergency numbers
Fighter Base: 160-16
Fire Brigade: 522-22-22
Fire Control 7: 367-97-20; 367-57-48

Fil-Chi Businessman kidnapped in Quezon City

MANILA, Philippines—A Chinese-Filipino man was abducted in broad daylight in Quezon City Tuesday by still unidentified men wearing T-shirts with “Police” marks, police said on Wednesday.

Reports reaching Camp Crame from Metro Manila police said the victim, Jonathan Chua of Cycle Mass Marketing , was abducted near the corner of Judge Juan Luna and De Jesus Streets in Barangay Bungad shortly before 9 a.m. Tuesday.

Chua was abducted by four armed men wearing black shirts with “Police” printed on them.Chua was driving a Mitsubishi Lancer (with plate number WTH 188) on his way to work, when the suspects, on board a dark-colored vehicle (with plate number ZMC 216), blocked the victim’s path.

Police said that initial verification made with the Land Transportation Office (LTO) revealed that the plate number of the getaway vehicle was registered to another vehicle (registered in 2008 to an Isuzu car).
