The Manila Half Marathon Challenge is postponed! I just got back from the Quirino Grandstand and I was informed by the race officials that due to the weather disturbance, Mayor Lim had called off the run and postponed it to a later date (TBA).
When I woke up this morning, I was hopeful that the race would push through. It wasn’t raining anymore and the streets were actually beginning to dry up. However, there were still episodic gusty winds, some of which were quite forceful. I think this is just the tail end of the typhoon that just hit us, but I guess it was enough cause for the officials to cancel the race.
After posting this, I’m going back to bed

Ok, I wasn’t able to post this entry awhile back because the lights went out… anyways, I’ve just woken up, and when I looked outside my window… it was raining, accompanied by very strong winds! Good call Mayor Lim!
I checked the PAGASA public weather site and from the image, this isn’t just typhoon Frank’s tail end, he’s hit the country head on! The eye of the storm is just 90 km southeast from Manila, its winds are at 120 kph, and its moving at 15 kph northwest. Its signal number 3 here in Manila, and from the forecast, it will be raining for 3 more days!
I guess this means I’ll be stuck running on the treadmill 
Since it’s a cold rainy day, I’m slipping under my sheets again and just doze off……
