Hi, hivers! Let me share one of my weekend activities.
There's something magical about waking up before sun rises. Last weekend, we decided to start our day with an early morning jog with my colleagues at the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway, one of the most iconic bridges connecting Cebu City and Cordova, Cebu.
We arrived in Cordova at 4 am, which is our starting point. (There's NO turning back btw LOL) When the sky was still dark and the city was quietly waking up. The air felt fresh and cool-perfect running weather. As we jogging the soft glow of the bridge lights reflected on the water, creating a calm and peaceful atmosphere that you rarely get during the busy hours of the day.
Running on CCLEX at dawn is a different kind of experience. With fewer cars and the sound of the wind and waves around you, it almost feels like the bridge belongs only to the early risers. Every step felt refreshing, and the view of the sea on both sides made the jog even more enjoyable.
As we continued jogging, we saw other early risers-cyclists, runners, and fitness enthusiast who had the same idea of starting the day with movement. There was an unspoken connection among everyone there. Even simple smiles, nods, and greetings from strangers felt encouraging, like we were all sharing the same goal of staying active and appreciating the morning.
As the minutes passed, the sky slowly changed colors-from deep blue to soft orange. Watching the sunrise while jogging was definitely the highlight of the morning. It reminded me how beautiful simple moments can be when you take the time to pause and appreciate them.
Aside from the scenic view, jogging early also gave us a sense of accomplishment. Starting the day with movement and fresh air instantly boosted our energy and mood.
By the time the sun fully rose over Mactan Island, the bridge began to get busier. But by then, we had already finished our run-feeling refreshed, proud, and ready to take on the rest of the day.
Jogging CCLEX at 4AM is more than just exercise. It is peaceful escape, a chance to connect with nature, and a reminder that sometimes the best moments happen before the world fully wakes up.
We actually finished 8.9 KM. We ended up at SM Seaside and had brunch at Ayala center Cebu.
