Terrific Subic Day 1

Jan 26, 2013

Leisure. Panoramic views. Cool breeze. The Road Eaters were surely excited to start the year because January 2013 was the running club’s FIRST OUT-OF-TOWN adventure! They were not just into running… they were also into something! BEACHES! Yes! Just pronounce it with a long ‘ee’ pleeeeeaase.

It’s January but it’s HOT!

Literally. No kidding.

Welcome to the place called Subic.

In the morning of January 26^th, all fourteen Road Eaters who signed up for the Subic International Marathon 2013 were present and had their first stop at Starbucks somewhere in Quezon City and their first carbo-loading at Jollibee. The group was divided into two. Van A was loaded with happy children while Van B with some serious stuffs that made NLEX reeeeaaally long like it’s not gonna end. Only Saldy of Van B tried to break the silence by disturbing Jemai’s sleep.

At last, when they reached Subic, two rooms were already reserved for their occupancy at Ocean View Beach Resort Hotel. Great scenery. Loved the ambiance.

They visited Harbor Point. Eating was one of the signature moves of the club (that’s why they were called Road Eaters). However, they couldn't really make it fast at Pepper Lunch because the meals were exaggeratedly topped with pepper! No wonder why Kevin didn't enjoy his meal. Maybe if there was a prize…

They shopped at Puregold and the club sponsored bottles of Gatorade and Snickers! When they came back to the hotel, there was no electricity. ~~Unpaid bills~~? Hahaha! No, it was just common in that place. Not so sure if the whole city was affected. They decided to go swimming when the lights went on. The happiest part -- they hit the beach! It was like an early summer vacation. The boys formed their own Frisbee team. The girls could have become the cheer dancers. And Josh was busy taking photos.

The boys' hilarious cartwheels

Being buried under the sand was never relaxing. Why? Because of THAT multipurpose Frisbee that kept on flying on top of her!

Later on, she became an instant sand mermaid.

Engraved on her sandy scales was the name of the

MOST HILARIOUS RUNNING CLUB IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Dusk. But the fun continued.

Boys again.

Where were the girls?

Ah, there. Lovely.

Another eating spree for dinner! Because it had to be fast, some of them accidentally ate half-cooked hotdogs! Some parts were still frozen.

Pretty pout, Saldy.

They didn't just do running and eating exercises. They had some mental exercises too a little less than 10 hours before the run the next day. If only those cards were real money and property…
