True FM host DJ Chacha shows she's not just an award-winning news radio anchor and a proud mom, she can also ace a half marathon... not just once, but twice.

"SURVIVED ANOTHER HALF MARATHON WITH THE BEST CREW. Thankful for friends who suffer with me and my husband who pretends not to hear my reklamo," the Ted Failon and DJ Chacha sa True FM co-host shared on social media.

Last Sunday, February 1, she aced the 21-kilometer edition of the ArmyNavy Run in Makati in three hours and 14 minutes, or roughly a pace of 9:04/km.

This active Kapatid host has recently leveled up her running era, doing her first half marathon just last month.

"Trading my comfort zone for a collection of “holy sh*t, I actually did it” moments this year," she shared.

And that happened in the same month she and Ted Failon received the a Gawad Lasallianeta award for being the Most Outstanding Digital Radio Broadcasters.

Can we say utter FLEX?
