00:00Engaging in sports is truly beneficial in order for us to stay fit

00:04and to improve our physical and mental well-being

00:08to those who are younger or older.

00:11Today, let's find out the story of the continued success

00:15of the oldest Pinay ultra-marathoner.

00:17I'm joined by Mommy Rosalinda Pendon-Auxiner.

00:22Good morning, Mommy Rosalinda.

00:25Good morning.

00:26Thank you for allowing this interview.

00:29But I said earlier, ultra-marathoner.

00:33For those who don't know, what is an ultra-marathoner?

00:36An ultra-marathoner has already passed the 42 kilometers.

00:40When it passes that, that's the 50.

00:43Or even more.

00:46I started when I was 65 years old.

00:49My eldest son forced me to join them

00:53because his family was always running.

00:57Then he said,

01:00Mom, you don't have any exercise, join us.

01:04I said, I don't want to.

01:06I can't run around like that.

01:11Then he said,

01:12No, Mom, join us.

01:15He insisted.

01:16Until I agreed.

01:18I joined them.

01:20But first,

01:21you have to walk.

01:23Then you have to speed up.

01:26Then you have to run.

01:30Little by little.

01:31You don't have to do it all of a sudden.

01:34When you're just starting,

01:35especially when I was 65 years old,

01:38I joined them.

01:40That was the beginning.

01:43Then,

01:45maybe after a month,

01:48he invited me to join an event.

01:52He registered 5 kilometers for me.

01:56I tried.

01:59When we finished running,

02:02my whole body was aching.

02:06I couldn't move.

02:08I didn't want to take medicine to relieve.

02:12He said no.

02:13Then he said,

02:14Let's do a recovery run in a week.

02:20I said, I don't want to.

02:21I can't do it anymore.

02:22I don't want to join them.

02:25You can't not join them.

02:28He insisted.

02:31Before Rosalinda fell in love with running,

02:33she only focused on her job.

02:36I don't have any sports.

02:38I used to work in an office.

02:43I don't have any exercise.

02:47When my husband invited me to go jogging,

02:53we were close to Pasay.

02:56I said, I don't want to.

03:00I don't want to wear rubber shoes.

03:02I don't want to wear jogging pants.

03:05That's what I don't want.

03:08I don't think it's appropriate for me to wear that.

03:13But it's okay.

03:15I got used to it.

03:17Every Sunday,

03:19all of us together,

03:22even my husband,

03:24couldn't run because he had an operation.

03:28With my grandchildren.

03:30It's not easy to wake up early and train.

03:32But for Mommy Rosalinda,

03:34this is her motivation.

03:37I've been to a lot of events in Lihan.

03:42I'm always with them.

03:45We always run together.

03:48Here in C5,

03:49we're always together.

03:51Until I got used to it.

03:53Until I found someone

03:57I wanted to run with.

03:59Until recently,

04:01they stopped running.

04:03They became busy.

04:05I'm the only one

04:06who runs.

04:08But when I met someone,

04:09he said,

04:10Mommy, I'll run with you.

04:12He became my coach.

04:15Every other day,

04:18we run in Cultural,

04:21MOA,

04:22wherever we run.

04:24I got used to him

04:26that we always run long runs.

04:30That's it.

04:31She also told us,

04:32and we will never forget,

04:34her very first marathon.

04:37It was in 2015.

04:43My first marathon was

04:48in February 2015,

04:50in Nuvali.

04:52Nuvali?

04:53Yes, that was my first marathon.

04:54It was in the Bull Runner.

04:57That was my first marathon.

05:0042 kilometers.

05:02Do you know that

05:04I reached the finish line

05:06with a sprain.

05:07Wow, okay.

05:08Yes, my foot was already like that.

05:11Then, she said,

05:13Mom, come on.

05:15I can't do it

05:17because I have a sprain.

05:19I can't walk.

05:21She said,

05:22she told her husband,

05:25Come on,

05:26let's leave it.

05:29Then,

05:30I slowly lost it.

05:32Then, I was looking at the finish line.

05:35I ran here.

05:36I ran,

05:38and I was about to give up.

05:40I finished it.

05:43It was more than 100 kilometers.

05:46Just here, local.

05:48The furthest I ran was 65 kilometers

05:52from Cabanatuan to Dingalan.

05:5565 kilometers.

05:57That was the longest I ran.

05:59What amazes Mommy Rosalinda,

06:01at the age of 75,

06:03she still manages to sustain her endurance.

06:06It continues every other day.

06:11We run.

06:12There's a long run.

06:14There's a short one.

06:17It depends on the event.

06:19If the event is good,

06:21we join.

06:23An achievement for an athlete

06:25to join a big tournament.

06:27But for Mommy Rosalinda,

06:29this is the heaviest marathon for her.

06:32Heavy?

06:34The first time I ran 42 kilometers,

06:36it was really hard.

06:39Because it was my first time running 42.

06:41That's the first marathon you ran.

06:43The first marathon.

06:47But the smaller ones,

06:49I started with 5, 10, 16,

06:53then 21.

06:56It slowly increased.

06:58Then when I ran 42,

07:00that was the hardest for me.

07:04Then I ran 65 kilometers

07:07because I was already exhausted.

07:12Because it was hot.

07:14I don't know,

07:16I was already exhausted.

07:17I was worried.

07:19But I finished it.

07:20I reached the finish line.

07:2475 years old, the legend!

07:2776, the oldest marathoner in the Philippines!

07:31Thank you, thank you, Mommy.

07:36The oldest runner.

07:37It was like I became an addict.

07:45I became addicted to running.

07:48Even if it was just every other day,

07:51I would wake up to run.

07:54I couldn't stop.

07:57It was like I started running again.

08:01That's why you have to keep going.

08:03That's what they say,

08:05why do you want to be a runner?

08:08To run, you have to have determination,

08:12focus, and prayer.

08:18I was amazed at how Mommy Rosalinda

08:21could run an ultramarathon.

08:23And this is where she gets her determination.

08:27I was so excited.

08:30I would wake up.

08:31I couldn't stop.

08:32Because it's a waste of time

08:35to start running again.

08:36They say,

08:37it's hard to get engaged in a sport

08:39when you're already old.

08:41But for Mommy Rosalinda,

08:43she's just getting older.

08:45For me,

08:47I should've known

08:51that I could do it.

08:54Because when I was young,

08:58I might have been a podium runner.

09:02But now, no.

09:03I just want to finish.

09:05That's my purpose.

09:07To finish within the cut of time.

09:10That's all.

09:11I don't want to be a podium runner.

09:15She's not just a medalist,

09:17but also the oldest Pinay ultramarathoner.

09:20This is how she feels.

09:22I'm very happy.

09:23You know,

09:26when you reach the finish line,

09:29it feels so good.

09:32It's fun.

09:33That's all.

09:34Even if it's just in the cutoff,

09:41you're happy.

09:42It feels different when you reach the finish line.

09:46You're so happy.

09:47And of course, you're proud.

09:51It's natural to be proud.

09:54But don't think that you're done.

09:58As long as you're still on the ground.

10:03While mommy Rosalinda is running,

10:05this is what she's thinking.

10:08What I'm thinking is,

10:10I shouldn't be a podium runner.

10:12That's number one.

10:14I shouldn't be a podium runner.

10:15It's hard to compete with a podium runner.

10:17That's why you really need to be ready.

10:21Sometimes, I bring my own bowl.

10:25But I don't drink for the pain.

10:29I just bring my own.

10:30I don't like to get sprayed.

10:32There are people who are waiting to get sprayed.

10:35Because it's a waste of time if you stop.

10:38I just spray it and let it go.

10:41Then I keep running.

10:43That's how it is.

10:46Not all the time,

10:48mommy Rosalinda wins.

10:50But when there are struggles,

10:51this is what she can do.

10:53I have a time when I couldn't finish.

10:54I was just a newbie in Pasig.

10:58We couldn't finish.

11:00It's okay.

11:01I forced myself to finish.

11:03What happened that time?

11:05I couldn't finish.

11:06Because it was a high uphill.

11:08It was my first time on an uphill.

11:11I really couldn't finish.

11:14And also,

11:16there was a 42-kilometer uphill

11:22that I couldn't finish.

11:25Because I felt something.

11:30Because you're the only one who knows

11:33what it feels like.

11:35So if you feel something,

11:36just stop.

11:39I don't want to get to a point

11:42where I have a hard time

11:43stopping myself from running.

11:46Because a lot of times,

11:47someone dies while running.

11:50Someone dies.

11:51Because that's what you're forced to do.

11:54If you want to go to the podium,

11:55you're forced to do it

11:56even if you already feel something.

11:59That's the bad thing.

12:00You shouldn't do that.

12:02At your age,

12:04what are your struggles in this journey?

12:08Just continue.

12:12Just continue what you're doing.

12:15Work out.

12:17That's why I'm working out now.

12:19Because I want to get stronger.

12:21I really want to run.

12:25That's what I'm praying for.

12:26Give me strength.

12:29For Mommy Rosalinda to stay fit,

12:31she has to train hard.

12:33I'm already 77 years old.

12:36Every other day,

12:37Monday, Tuesday,

12:39Thursday, and Saturday,

12:41I work out regularly.

12:45Then, I go to the gym.

12:47Then, I have training.

12:50Sometimes, in the morning,

12:53I go to the gym.

12:54When night comes,

12:55I have training.

12:58It's hard.

12:58I feel like I'm busy.

13:02I have a lot of things to do.

13:04But it's okay.

13:05Because what I feel in myself is

13:10that I'm getting stronger.

13:11That's what's important.

13:13I'm getting stronger.

13:15Even though she's busy with training,

13:16Mommy Rosalinda still has time to go out.

13:19I'm not fond of social life.

13:22It's good now.

13:24A lot of people are inviting me to a Christmas party.

13:27Okay, I'll go to all of them.

13:30Yes.

13:31It's good.

13:32What's wrong with that?

13:34Especially me.

13:35My husband passed away in 2018.

13:39It's good that I'm still running.

13:42That's why it's helpful.

13:44Instead of just thinking about

13:46Christmas and Easter.

13:49It's a bit boring.

13:50So, running helps me

13:54when my husband passed away.

14:05You can't avoid injury or misfortune

14:07in any sport.

14:08But Mommy Rosalinda still has no fear.

14:12Even when I started,

14:15I was already in pain.

14:18At first,

14:20when we were just working out,

14:23just me and my partner,

14:25I was in pain.

14:27I didn't tell my husband.

14:30At the end,

14:32my mouth got hurt.

14:34I got injured.

14:35And I had a bruise.

14:38I couldn't hide it anymore.

14:41I had a few bruises

14:43that I didn't tell him.

14:46I was thinking of stopping.

14:49When I got my mouth injured,

14:52I couldn't hide it anymore.

14:53He could see it.

14:55I was even covering it.

15:00I told him,

15:01but he didn't get mad.

15:04Was there a time

15:05when he told you to stop?

15:08No.

15:09He was my number one fan.

15:13Did you invite him?

15:14No.

15:16He couldn't do it.

15:19He had an operation.

15:21He wasn't used to it.

15:24He didn't exercise.

15:26Now,

15:27I was injured last year.

15:30So, I slowed down.

15:35I started running again.

15:38In Tagaytay,

15:41I ran 42 kilometers.

15:45I fell.

15:48I moved my feet.

15:51I was in a hurry

15:53because there was a truck passing by.

15:54I didn't know

15:56that my feet were uneven.

16:00I fell.

16:02It happened to me

16:04that I fell.

16:07I got up

16:09and kept running.

16:11But when I fell in Tagaytay,

16:16I told my son,

16:17just a moment,

16:18it will go away.

16:20Then,

16:22I felt that it didn't go away.

16:25It hurt even more.

16:27So, I called the organizer.

16:29I told him that I couldn't do it anymore.

16:32It was such a waste because I was already 21 years old.

16:36I couldn't do it anymore.

16:38Then, they took me to the hospital.

16:44They examined me.

16:45The next day, I didn't have a fracture.

16:48But the doctor told me to be careful.

16:52He also told me that

16:56I shouldn't run anymore.

16:59He told me to stop.

17:02I couldn't run anymore.

17:03But I told him,

17:05Ma'am, I have an international fight.

17:09No, you can't do it anymore.

17:11You can't do it anymore.

17:13Everything is prohibited for me.

17:15Even the erection.

17:20It's just an erection.

17:22I was told that I shouldn't do it anymore.

17:24Are you kidding me?

17:25Then, I went to the orthodontist.

17:28I told him that I was being prohibited by the doctor.

17:32He asked me why.

17:34I told him that I couldn't run anymore.

17:38He examined my X-ray.

17:39There was no fracture.

17:42He said,

17:43I'll just visit you.

17:46I won't stop you from running

17:48because I know that you'll be sad.

17:52I was a bit happy.

17:55I was so happy that I couldn't stop myself from running.

17:59I just continued running.

18:01I was just given some supplements.

18:06I started running again when I was 5 years old.

18:13Last October, I ran for 42 kilometers.

18:19I was already 42 years old.

18:22Mami Rosalinda didn't think that she would be deceived by running.

18:26She didn't expect that she would be able to return home.

18:30I was able to finish it.

18:32I was able to finish it.

18:34I was already happy.

18:35I didn't expect that I would be able to go higher.

18:38That's all.

18:40I didn't expect that I would reach this point.

18:44I didn't expect that I would reach this point.

18:49First of all, I was happy.

18:53When I was running, I was really smiling.

18:57They said,

18:59Mami, you don't look tired.

19:02You're still fresh.

19:05Running has changed me.

19:09I'm really happy.

19:11I'm content with what I have now.

19:15As she ran for a long time,

19:16she slowly got to know the running community.

19:19People started to look up to her.

19:22Now, I'm well-known in the running community.

19:28Even if it's just here in our area,

19:33people still recognize me as Mami.

19:36That's why I stopped running for a long time.

19:42They know that I ran for a long time.

19:45Now, when I dye my hair,

19:48people don't recognize me anymore.

19:49But it's not like that.

19:52That's why I stopped dyeing my hair.

19:55It's because

19:58the color fades quickly.

20:01The color of your hair changes.

20:04That's why I stopped.

20:06Even on Facebook,

20:08they'll tell me.

20:09When I post,

20:10they'll comment on it.

20:13I'm thankful for that.

20:15I can't refuse them

20:21when they request for a picture.

20:24Sometimes, my coach tells me,

20:29we're running out of time.

20:34But I give it to them.

20:36They're my inspiration.

20:40They tell me,

20:41Mami, let's take a picture.

20:43Mami, we're running out of time.

20:47That's why I don't refuse when they request.

20:50Sometimes, I trick them.

20:52I already paid for it.

20:54For the runners who are her inspiration,

20:58this is all she can say.

21:00I'm thankful for them.

21:02I'm happy that I'm inspiring them.

21:05Even when I was young,

21:06I would tell them,

21:07Mami, I'm inspired.

21:09You're my inspiration.

21:11It's nice to hear.

21:13It's nice to feel.

21:15I'm inspiring them.

21:19That's why I'm doing something

21:21to inspire them even more.

21:24That's what I do.

21:25And my prayer is,

21:28give me strength

21:30so that I can continue running.

21:34Just continue.

21:36Don't stop.

21:38Don't stop.

21:40It's hard to stop.

21:42Especially when you have habits tomorrow.

21:47Just do it tomorrow.

21:49When tomorrow comes,

21:50do it again tomorrow.

21:52It's not good to stop.

21:53Whatever is in your schedule,

21:55find a way to do it.

21:57If it's not in your schedule,

22:00find something you can do.

22:03Just continue.

22:06Mami Rosalinda continues to register

22:08in the tournaments.

22:09That's why her training is not a joke.

22:12Next year,

22:14there will be a 21-kilometer race.

22:18And in February,

22:22there will also be a race.

22:25They're just saying it now.

22:28But it's an invitation.

22:31That's why it's free.

22:35That's why I said,

22:36when I run,

22:40I have someone with me.

22:41It can't be anyone else.

22:42Especially when it's still dark.

22:44It's Joji.

22:47He's always with me.

22:48He's my pacer.

22:50As for me,

22:51when it comes to food,

22:54I don't...

22:57I don't have a diet.

22:59Whatever I want,

23:02I'll eat.

23:03I'm not like others.

23:05I can't run.

23:08I'm not like that.

23:09As for me,

23:11don't copy me.

23:13I'm used to running like this.

23:16As long as I have something to eat,

23:21I'll eat.

23:23I don't want to...

23:24My husband used to say,

23:27whatever you want to eat,

23:28just eat it.

23:29Because you'll be stressed if you don't eat.

23:34So, whatever I eat,

23:37I'll eat.

23:38Because it's one of the things

23:41that will make you run properly.

23:44That's why I'm on a diet.

23:46I'm old.

23:47I'm on a diet.

23:48I can't do it anymore.

23:49Mami Rosalinda is proud that at her age,

23:52she doesn't have maintenance or medicine.

23:54I don't have maintenance.

23:56I only have supplements.

23:59Even that day,

24:03my husband and I had an argument.

24:05I said,

24:06we didn't drink.

24:08Why?

24:08Why didn't you drink?

24:11My husband said,

24:12don't drink.

24:14You don't feel anything.

24:15Why would you drink?

24:18But don't copy that.

24:20That's just for us.

24:23One of Mami Rosalinda's motivations

24:25is the support she receives from her family.

24:29As long as I can,

24:31I'll run.

24:32I won't stop.

24:36As long as I'm okay,

24:38I'm strong.

24:39That's what I always tell myself.

24:41I'm always okay.

24:44I don't feel any pain.

24:48That's my goal.

24:50To be able to run.

24:53Oh my, I don't have that yet.

24:56What is that?

24:57They can see that I'm happy running.

25:02Even during the pandemic,

25:03they told me,

25:05Mama, don't go out.

25:07It's forbidden.

25:09I would go out in the early morning.

25:12They would still sleep.

25:14I would go out.

25:16I would run.

25:17I would wear a mask.

25:18But it's hard to run with a mask on.

25:21You can't breathe.

25:22It's okay.

25:23I would still run.

25:24When I get home,

25:26they're still sleeping.

25:27They have nothing to do.

25:29I can run.

25:32That's what I'm thinking.

25:34That I've inspired them.

25:37I need to do better.

25:40I need to show them that I can do it.

25:44They need to be inspired,

25:47especially me.

25:50That's why,

25:55as long as they can do it,

25:58you can start.

25:59Don't wait.

26:01Because you don't know.

26:03Maybe you can do it.

26:06But you didn't try.

26:08It's a waste.

26:10It's better to try first

26:13before you give up.

26:14I thought I couldn't do it.

26:16But when I tried, I did it.

26:20That's what's good for me.

26:24I didn't want to give up.

26:27I said, I can't do it.

26:29I'll just walk.

26:30But I said, no.

26:32I can't do it.

26:33But it's really good.

26:35Start.

26:36Try.

26:38I was in my early 40s when I started running.

26:42I was 65 when I started running.

26:44I was already 65 years old.

26:46I was already worried.

26:48Just try.

26:50Little by little.

26:51You won't be surprised.

26:52Just slowly.

26:54Little by little.

26:56Just walk.

26:57They don't really walk.

27:00Just add a little speed.

27:03A little running.

27:05If you feel something,

27:06stop.

27:07Don't force yourself

27:09if you feel something.

27:11Observe.

27:12You're the only one who can feel it.

27:16So you know what you might feel.

27:20So you can observe yourself.

27:27If you need to.

27:29If not,

27:31consult a doctor.

27:34Thank you so much,

27:36Rosalinda.

27:37You are a true inspiration

27:39to many Filipinos.

27:40You're welcome.
