What drives us to run

We are driven by 5 equally important reasons attributing  to the decision to  run and to blog which we want to share to everyone.

Spiritually

Not everybody is given the chance to use his 2 feet to walk, run and stride for as long as he wants to. Some are  born crippled,  others  foot  or  even feet are taken either by accident or by diseases. Jonas and I are just  grateful to God  that HE didn’t  allow us  to suffer either fate.  More so, despite the prevailing worldwide crisis, political turmoil and worst, massive massacres that could have affected our lives,  we are fortunate to have been  chosen to continuously use our strong  feet not only for its very purpose, but to discover and  enjoy the art of  marathon. Thank you Lord.

Physically 

Believe us when we say that once you  inject running into your system,   you will notice an unexplainable  strength  coupled by an admirable physical  manifestation in your whole body.

Emotionally

When you feel empty, your shoulder is carrying on so much burden, when you cannot think of  a solution to your present problem or  you simply want to chill out, putting on your comfy running gear and  stride is the  best thing to do. The inner  pleasure  you will get  is unfathomable

Socially 

Runners are naturally friendly. Maybe because its  relieving to see fellow runners experiencing the same tough  breath catching moment. Its what we call  “sharing (of pain)”. But its true, we have established friendship with fellow runners and aim to gain more. 

Social Responsibility

Proceeds of the sales from singlets goes to several charitable institutions. So we just  don’t run, we share a little of what we have to charity

Why 2FORdaROAD

May 21, 1995, Jonas and I vowed in front of God of our families and friends to stay together for better or for worse, in sickness and in health till death do us part. Since then, we have faithfully and strongly  adhered to that vow. We are now happily enjoying the fruit of our labor that make our marriage even stronger , our lovely daughters Joshielle and Sheena. June 2005, we enrolled in Fitness First Fort Bonifacio. If our schedule permits, we religiously visit the gym either together or on different time. In August 2008, we decided to add another promise to each other, we will run for better or for worse to avoid sickness and be healthy, for as long as we live.
