Greetings,
Let me share to you my first 20 kilometer run. I became obssess on running and it is one of my favorite things to do. I am using Strava to track and record my running activities. It motivates me to improve my running.

This activity was from last Sunday, January 4, 2026. I planned to level my running though I'm not an intermediate runners nor an athlete. I started recorded my running activities last year. My longest run was 15 kilometer and my goal is to overcome it. I started around 4:30 p.m.. I started warming up. I walked around 10 -15 minutes headed to Umapad Mandaue City. Then I did stretching to activate my muscles, such as leg swings, high knees, butt kicks, arm circles, and walking lunges. After my running started with a pacing around 5:00 - 6:00 min./ kilometer. I made my 5 kilometer at Mactan-Mandaue Bridge. I was not exhausted and my feet still comfortable.

I reached 10 kilometer at Mandaue City Sports Complex and headed to Mandani Bay Boardwalk. It was around 5:30 and sky was rosy. I run back and forth there and reached 14 kilometer. My feet was little tired but my stamina and air felt alright. So I decided to run for 20 kilometer. It was my first time aiming that distance. I ran towards my house at Paknaan and finished at the Cansaga Bay.

I felt accomplished after the run with a pace of 5:38/ kilometer. At my age it was great and good effort. I felt soreness , feet exhausted, and very sweaty. Then I cool down around 30 minutes and rested for an hour. And finally it's time to eat my dinner. I went to Silogan Sa Paknaan. I ordered Longsilog , a sausage with egg meal for 129 pesos (28.04 STEEM). The restaurant has various colorful decors and the table is wooden plus the customer service is amazing that made me satisfied.
