6K Despidida Fun Run for BB Florece (4.7.11)

Caceres Runners Club's star runner Florence who is affectionately called BB by fellow runners and friends, has gone places for her passion. She has become a favorite in races and a perennial winner in every category she joins in. In the coming days, however, she will take a new route and run a different race optimistic and determined to win her dreams.

This morning, the whole team had the 6K Despidida Fun Run for BB Florece who will fly on Monday to the States (I'm still curious though why there is an Australian map on the poster hence I wrote in the souvenir tarp "BEAT THE OZZYs!!!) to bid her farewell and good luck. The route covered the club's turf, the Basilica grounds, and the major streets of Naga. It is a route that has become her playground.


There was no competition in the Despidida run. It was a pace run led by Florence, Jing and Riz. For the reason that BB believes in running coming first, in the middle of the pack or last doesn't matter. That what is important is finishing it. And there is a lot of satisfaction in that, she added.



Although I missed the run because I set the alarm too early and woke up at 6:45AM already, I still went and joined the breakfast with the team.
