I also do a couple of things outside of work
I’m quite a bit into fitness and keeping healthy.
Running
I’ve been running for more than 10 years now. I have finished several marathons and half marathons, along with a handful ultra-distance trail runs. I’m training for the 2022 Chicago Marathon and the 2023 Way Too Cool 50k
Climbing
Rock climbing, wall climbing, bouldering, however you want to call it, has been the sport I have participated in the longest. I was first introduced to it back in 1994 and I have been on and off the wall for quite some time. I’m more consistent now after taking a break since I competitively trained as a junior back in the early 2000s, but now it’s mainly just for the fun of it.
Other Sports
Aside from the first two activities, I also go to the gym, hike, and bike. I also played Ultimate Disc (or “Frisbee”) and served as the Philippines Ultimate Association’s secretary responsible for managing its mailing list and website.
