My First Trail Run

-







I conquered my first 21-kilometer trail run last 2 years ago at Sagada, Mountain Province. I say, "trail running is difficult and dangerous, run carefully but continuous". Well, 3 hours and 48 minutes (unofficial time) is not bad at all for me as first time trail runner.


















Prior to this trail run, one thing I really look forward is to witness the sea of clouds. I am glad because the weather that time was very nice and I am able to see this wonderful formation of clouds. I felt like I am surrounded by white cotton candies. kamanbaneng Peak or often referred as Marlboro Country by locals, is one of the first conquests. Its unique 360 views of Sagada, Bontoc, and Sabangan at Mt. Lamagan makes an awesome scenery which made us forget that we were actually in a race.








I love trail running because of the wonderful views I am seeing along the route - everywhere is green. The high mountains, the cold and fresh of air, the rocks formation and the rare species of plants and trees are just few of the many reasons why I am fascinated with this activity. Further, meeting new people will always be the nicest part of it.

These are my newly found friends. All of them used to run along the trails for many years. They are even doing trail biking. I got a lot of tips and advises from them. And of course, I was more inspired because of their personal stories. We arrived at the finish line all together, they never left me until the end. They were so patient enough to assist me and push me until we have crossed the finish line.

TASK VS WORKLOAD

1.TASK a  task  is an activity that needs to be accomplished within a defined period of time or by a deadline to work towards work-related goals. A task can be broken down into assignments which should also have a defined start and end date or a deadline for completion. One or more assignments on a task puts the task under execution. Completion of all assignments on a specific task normally renders the task completed. Tasks can be linked together to create dependencies. Tasks completion generally requires the coordination of others. Coordinated human interaction takes on the role of combining the integration of time, energy, effort, ability, and resources of multiple individuals to meet a common goal. Coordination can also be thought of as the critical mechanism that links or ties together the efforts on the singular level to that of the larger task being completed by multiple members. Coordination allows for the successful completion of the otherwise larger tasks that one might

Best sword ever created in history

One Slice , One Kill 1 . Napoleon's Sword On the battlefield Napoleon carried a pistol and a sword. He owned a large collection of arms and artillery. His weapons were one of a kind and included the best materials. In the summer of 2007, a gold-encrusted sword that once belonged to Napoleon was auctioned off in France for more than $6.4 million dollars. The sword was used by Napoleon in battle. In the early 1800s, Napoleon presented the weapon to his brother as a wedding gift. The sword was passed down from generation to generation, never leaving the Bonaparte family. In 1978, the sword was declared a national treasure in France and the winner of the auction was not identified. 2 . Sword of Mercy The Sword of Mercy has a broken blade, which is cut off short and square. In 1236, the weapon was given the name curtana and has since been used for royal ceremonies. In ancient times it was a privilege to bear this sword before the king. It was considered a merciful gesture. The stor

Symbols represent a wide variety of things. When people see a particular symbol, they associate it with something meaningful or standard. With this, each country has their own national symbols to identify themselves from others and to unite its citizens through nationalism. Check out these official national symbols of the Philippines: Credit: Google NATIONAL ANIMAL: CARABAO If common men have dogs as their best friend, then the carabao or Philippine water buffalo is the Filipino farmer’s best friend. They’re beasts of burden, able to do almost everything that needs to be done on the rice fields, including carry the farmer and his goods. But, without any laws to recognized them, they’ll remain an unofficial symbol of the country.

As popular as it is for making desserts, there is no law that proclaims it as a national symbol. Credit: Go
