THOUGHTS ON GETTING STRONGER
When I started running, everything is about me. I always thought about getting stronger and getting better. I love the feeling of being faster than anyone else or overtaking anyone during a race. Whenever I would run with my friends, I would be such a show off by trying to run ahead of them.
I guess everything changed when I took my Leadership class in Ateneo. I have learned about the meaning of passion. It is the intersection of the thing I love, the thing I am good at, the thing that the world needs and the thing that makes me earn money. Little by little, I have come to realize how much I wanted to help others be a better version of themselves through exercise.

getting stronger by helping others
Little by little, I learned the value of helping others get healthier. I enjoy inspiring other people by setting an example to others. I guess, in some way, I am showing signs of maturity.
Today, I helped a friend finish her first 10km, and another to run her 3km until her ankle ached. It was not easy having to slow down so I could pace them. There were slight knee pains when we're going too slow but I did it anyway, I ran with my friends all through the course. I was giving them tips and talking to them so they won't get bored. I cannot take all the credit. My friends were strong and patient on their own, and very motivated too! I guess I was just there to give them a little push. But man, that was such an accomplishment. I felt so proud and happy for them. <3
The Lord has given me strength through triathlon. I have loved the sport and in turn, the sport has loved me back. I've experienced so many opportunities because of it: free relay competitions, media exposures (haha), MVPO and of course, my health which has helped me accomplish many things. And in turn, I would love to give back. I guess, in my own little way, I have done it today. :)
