Aaron Pamintuan has successfully barged into the door and joined the list of local run streakers after running at least a mile a day for a year last May 4.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old Latte Gym personal trainer said he was already running almost everyday as part of his physical fitness regimen so why not complete a 365-day streak.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to challenge myself. I hated running, but I knew I needed cardio in my life and what better way to do it than to run,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Like other streakers before him, Pamintuan said the hardest part of the streak was just keeping yourself motivated to run every single day for an entire year.<\/p>\n

\u201cLife can get very busy and times occur when I don\u2019t even want to run. It was finding the time and energy to do it. I was determined to complete it and keep it. Whatever the circumstance I was going to run regardless,\u201d said the Liberal Arts Emphasis on Physical Education and Health graduate of Northern Marianas College.<\/p>\n

What made Pamintuan\u2019s streak more special is he usually runs during mid-day or the afternoon, when Saipan\u2019s sun is at its harshest.<\/p>\n

As far as the longest run of his streak, Pamintuan said it was when he completed a marathon and the shortest are his usual 1-milers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI decided to do this streak for myself. I started and finished it by myself. I dedicate this to me,\u201d he said when asked who he\u2019s dedicating the streak to.<\/p>\n

Pamintuan also has no plans of retiring the streak anytime soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe streak is still alive. I don\u2019t see it ending anytime soon.<\/p>\n

He then thanked Run Saipan president Edward Delac Cruz and Run Saipan for inspiring him to start the streak.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso special thanks to Nicole Deleon Guerrero for supporting me all the way,\u201d said Pamintuan, who celebrated 365 days of running a mile a day by running 3.65 miles.<\/p>\n

Dela Cruz said Pamintuan joins nine registered streakers under Run Saipan, namely himself, Dr. Ron Snyder, Dr. Galvin Deleon Guerrero, Ali Nelson, Frank Nawaaz, Simon Necesito, J.C. Cadua, Angel San Nicolas, and Ken Abat of Guam.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud of him. He\u2019s one of the guys I\u2019ve been coaching and training. I noticed he was running everyday and said he might as well ride it all the way through. It wasn\u2019t until way later he mentioned he did stick with it,\u201d said Dela Cruz of Pamintuan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
