My heart was
on fire. I sweat all over with the
rhythmic movement of my body. My body
was burning up on this Valentine’s Day with my jealous mistress.
The venue of the secret tryst was Nuvali, Sta. Rosa, Laguna and I was all alone with my jealous mistress in the late morning hours of February 14, 2013.

| Lonely road of Nuvali |
Lest you
think of something else, allow me to clarify that I was out running alone in
the roads of Nuvali from 8am to 12 noon.
Jealous mistress is what I refer to my love of running. To quote the world-renowned ultramarathon
champion Scott Jurek, “Running is what I
love. Running is – to a large extent –
who I am.”

| My shadow was the only witness to my date with the jealous mistress |
Pray tell,
why I was out running on the Day of Hearts. I was running because I was
cramming for my date with the Bataan Death March 102km Ultra scheduled for March
2 & 3. I missed the BDM test run
last February 10 and I wanted to compensate by going on a heat training run which I did by going
around twice on a 15-km loop in Nuvali.
Running is
indeed like a jealous mistress. Treat her will and she will treat you well with
a wonderfully tasting run experience come race time. But if you ignore her, she can turn you
faster than you can say “No cramps please.”
