After knowing the details of National Geographic Channel’s Earth Day Run 2010 and its beneficiary, Design Against the Elements (DAtE), I and the hubby has finally decided to register for the event.

We are running not just because we wanted to start a healthy and fit lifestyle (running, of course, is a natural fat burner, it is so far the best regimen for dropping pounds) but because we were inspired by DAtE‘s initiative in making a difference.

Why wait for another Ondoy before expressing our concern? We can act NOW and  make pre-calamity actions such as supporting and spreading the news about DAtE’s Design Competition.

Designs Against the Elements is an opportunity to showcase how green building can help alleviate poverty and protect households against disasters, providing the winning formula for communities that can survive economic, social, and environmental challenges.
Here are some tips in preparation for running  events:

1. Visit your doctor – A visit to your doctor before engaging in any physical activity such as running is very important especially for first timers, like us!
2. Find the essential gears – Invest in a good pair of running shoes and running outfit.
3. Plan your running trail – For starters, find an easy trail. Start with a nearby park with low vehicle traffic and has shady areas.
4. Stretch – Stretching is very important for runners, and it should be done before and after the event.
