How will I describe Lactacyd Team Woman Run 2010?
Pink EVERYWHERE. Woman IN CONTROL. Girl POWER.
It all started when I decided to cheer for ANR Alabang friends joining this run. So even with lack of sleep due to Saturday's busy schedule I headed to McKinley Hills to show some support (and get some photos too). Since the venue is near my place I went there running (3K more or less).
Guess who?
From running shoes to head bands you will notice that "Pink is Everywhere." This is the first race that I saw that color abound. I ask myself 'why?' and all I can think is, "It's a girl thing." Anyway, pink looks good on women, for me, it speaks of femininity, good health and heroism ('Bayani' Fernando).hahaha
Kidding aside, I love the passion that every woman runner showed as during last Sunday's race. The relay team (10K-5K-3K-3K) is so much fun and intense to watch as you see in the transition area. Fear, excitement, anxiety and enjoyment are the things that you will see.
I'm a fan of a woman who knows what she wants and does everything in order to get 'em. I saw this at work first hand during this race. "Women in control" of their race, tempo and heart beat. I love it when they are all pumped up, enjoying every endorphins while gasping for air as they reach the finish line.
Some friends and I were jealous and somehow wants to have our own version of this relay, "Team Man Lactacyd Run" because it is so much fun to watch. How much more if you are the runner. Btw, as I google I saw that there is a masculine wash available in the market called "Freshman." Hmmmm? Who uses that?
So there are two categories of the race: The 21K Team Relay (10k-5k-3k-3k) and the 5K for individuals. I came to watch the Team Relay as AdiNation of Runners Alabang has 3 entrees:
The Rockin' Dolls, Team Char Char and Alabangers Push
These teams exhibited "Girl Power" at the its very best! Obviously, they aren't prepared with those head bands and pink skirt props. Yes, I see "Legally Blonde: The Musical" and "Pink Ballet."
Support group made posters Saturday afternoon to somehow boost the lady participants. I believe those posters serve their purpose as I read this from a comment on ANR's Faccebook Group Page: Thank you ANR Alabang for the banners! They DO give the boost! Ang sarap ng feeling!!!!!
So, these things I just mentioned still perplexes me. I really don't know what is in the color; or why do they want to be in control; or what really is 'girl power.' If I would to ask them, they will definitely tell me, "IT'S A GIRL THING!" So, I would leave it that way. Unless someone from the opposite sex explains those to me.

This post will not be complete without saying my congratulations for the job well done by the 3 teams of ANR Alabang. Special note to "The Rockin' Dolls" for winning the 1st place for the "Best in Costume Award." They get P15,000, Timex watch, GCs and many more. Again, congratulations and I'm proud of you! Pa-burger naman kayo!
CONGRATULATIONS!
