We Joined the Run United 1 2012

finish line

We ran (or rather walked, hopped, skipped and tiptoed, just kidding) in Unilab’s Run United 1 2012 at the SM MOA last March 4, 2012.

10k runners

Over-all the race was fun, especially at the 3k where everyone was in high spirits. I think most of the people there were newbie runners. There was quite a big number of children in that category and that includes my youngest daughter.

Impressions:

  • The instructions were clear and the maps were easy to understand so we didn’t get lost and we knew exactly where to park to get to the starting line assigned for our category, 3k.
  • Categories were segregated. The 3k runners ran with the 10 k runners while the 5k runners were on the other side of the same street. The 500m dash start and finish had an altogether different route along with the 21k runners who had an early start at the BGC and ended at the MOA.
  • This race was more organized than the one we went to last year, the Run United 1 2011 because if I remember it right, there was only one finish line across all categories and it was a chaos then with  people going to and fro the finish line.
  • There were lots of marshals who were smiling and some even greeted us “Good morning” when our eyes meet.
  • The hydration tables were positioned appropriately and there were less trash on the road, unlike last year’s trash.

  • The activity centers’ booths were positioned well too and there were no long lines to get the finisher’s kits.

All in all, it was an experience we will certainly remember.

Got Sick, Need Help

There are days when I would  want to do everything just to have house help doing the chores for me. She doesn’t have to wear scrubs nor any uniforms, as long as she does what is supposed to be done at home: washing dishes, doing the laundry, cooking, sweeping and most of all, waking up early to cook packed lunch for the kids.

I got stomach flu for a few days and it was not something I look forward to in the near future.

Symptoms of stomach flu or gastroenteritis include:

  • diarrhea
  • nausea
  • abdominal cramps, and
  • vomiting
  • Some symptoms may include low-grade fever.

This is highly contagious especially if this is bacterial, viral or parasitic in nature so it is best to wash hands every time especially after going to the bathroom or keep a hand sanitizer at all times.

Be sure to take lots of fluids and rest. Fluids will help avoid dehydration which causes more complications than the condition’s symptoms.

The BRAT diet is recommended before going back to regular diet: banana, rice, apples and toast.

This three-day illness which snapped out the energy in me. I felt faint, not hungry, bloated, had headache, wasn’t able to sleep and not burping.

Now I’m better. I think, except for that bitter taste in the tongue which made me crave for boiled eggs. I had two just a while ago. Gah.

UNILAB Link-Up Open-Source Program For Health and Wellness

Have you heard about Unilab Link-Up?

Unilab Link Up website

Unilab recently launched Unilab Link-Up, an open-source program for innovations in healthcare. This is a site where innovators, suppliers, consumers and those who have new ideas on how to improve health and wellness can contribute in the following aspects:

  • wellness products
  • wellness services
  • packaging
  • manufacturing technologies

Unilab, a Filipino pharmaceutical and healthcare company, created Unilab Link-Up as an open-source facility that will enable to match innovative ideas on heath and wellness with their resources to be able to bring the idea to intended market.

Unilab Link-Up aims to provide solutions to the health and wellness needs of the Filipinos which still needs to be addressed by the existing products and services in the country.

“For many years, we’ve drawn from our internal resources and expertise to come up with trusted quality healthcare products,” says Unilab President & CEO Clinton Campos Hess. “Now, we’re broadening our sources of innovation to include not only our internal resources, but also our partners, customers, and consumers; thus the Unilab Link-up.”

How to join the Unilab Link-Up:

  • Submissions go through a four-level review process by an idea review body, with corresponding rewards for the innovation partner as the idea progresses into the review levels until the idea is launched in the market.

“Link up with us and together let’s explore the exciting possibilities of your ideas,” invites Hess. “Your ideas could be the start of something big.”

Reebok ActiveVibe

I got a new pair of Reebok ActiveVibe rubber shoes last year at the Reebok Store in TriNoma. 25% off was just the right motivation to finally convince me to get an upgrade.

Reebok ActiveVibe

The hubby heaved a sign of relief when I finally chose a new pair: Pink and Gray Reebok ActiveVibe.  Why? I’m finally retiring that old pair that I’ve bashed, abused and used till it was pathetic to look at 😀

Reebok ActiveVibe

I love how it fits my feet and how comfortable it feels when I walk. I haven’t tried running in these yet, as if I run. So there goes the clue as to how I have been keeping fit. Not!

This pair was worth every penny, I must say and that’s coming from a penny-pinching mom 😀

And for those who know me well, they know for sure I am not fond of fuchsia pink but this one is an exception because it goes well with gray.

Now to plan on what to do to put this to good use 😉

Price after 25% markdown: Php2, 696. 25
