"I'm excited to run.  I started running last year but I'm excited because a lot of people now are really into it, especially Star Magic," says Piolo Pascual about about his new fitness exercise.  Joining the marathon, Star Magic Run, is part of his preparation for the second Ironman 70.3 Philippines.

If possible, Piolo would want to do all the three courses: swimming, bicycle and race courses.  

"If I can do all three, why not?" stated Piolo.  "I'm training for it.  Sana ma-meet ko 'yong quota.  Kung hindi naman, may next year pa naman."

Which category would be difficult for him? Piolo admitted, it would be the swimming course. 

He explained, "Kasi iba talaga ang technique no'n, e, sa breathing.  E, hindi naman ako swimmer, e.  I used to swim pero iba 'yong technique, iba 'yong form niya.  Sa bike and run, they go hand-in-hand.  Sa swimming talaga ako nahihirapan."

Right now, Piolo is trying to squeeze his training schedule into his showbiz engagements. 

"You know, depende sa schedule.  I'm using my free time para mag-train nang mag-train.  Kasi, kapag naging busy na naman sa schedule, mahirap.  Kapag free days, nagte-train talaga ako," the matinee idol remarked.
