On weekends, it has become a typical scene to watch joggers in early morning runs filling up kilometers of roads along the vicinity of shopping centers and college campuses. It was no surprise then to learn that the UP Diliman Oval has become a runner’s paradise in Quezon City with thousands flocking on weekends for their regular run. It’s even more interesting how marathons have been held on skyways and otherwise busy city thoroughfares. Perhaps, for many fitness buffs, it has simply been maddening to look for wide, open, green spaces to run and breathe. I suppose that as the consciousness for healthy lifestyles becomes more ingrained, the need for open spaces becomes more imperative.
