Last week, thanks to the help of
fellow running blogger (www.wanderingjouster.com), I was able to register
already for the half marathon of the 7-Eleven Run 1000 scheduled for January 19,
2014 (for more details please refer to http://www.run711.com/).

| The Run 711 website has a section which lists the registered participants. |
There are so many things to like
about this run which celebrates the opening of 7-Eleven’s 1,000th store in the
Philippines. One of them is their
synergistic use of the store’s extensive branch network in the registration
process. To complete registration,
runners can pay reg fees at the 7-Eleven nearest them. Race Kits can be claimed
on the date indicated on the receipt, and from the same store where payment has
been made. On these days and nights of
monster traffic jams, this innovative approach is certainly a big plus.
Of course, for me, the foremost
appeal of the 7-Eleven run is the venue. This half marathon will be run thru the CAVITEX, a coastal highway in
Cavite. Imagine the allure of running
with a body of water on both sides. WJ had her experience last year and I want to
have that same ecstatic look.

Better make sure to train for
this half marathon so that when the cameras start clicking on the coastal
highway, the BP will be galloping and not waddling.
