I’m sure the run was fun…while my gf and I were no runners, and at best merely lived the life of a runner vicariously through your awesome blog —it’s been a pleasure reading about the challenges, struggles, and eventual triumphs in the life of the bull runner. Running was cool until I got caught in traffic for a good 45mins crossing Buendia last Saturday. Couple of questions ran through my mind: Do we really need to block streets off for this? Do we really need to take main streets and thoroughfares? Could this have been better planned, e.g. traffic advisories? Is it even healthy to be running under the smog and fumes of Metro Manila traffic? Is having a whole bunch of commuters, drivers, etc. fuming, fretting, honking their horns in frustration really building goodwill for Adidas? I came from a school that uses the case method (read: I dont have the easy answers). I was hoping you could tell me.

They should’ve released it earlier. I sent the file to my running friends last Thursday and one of them thought that I just made the whole map up (in a hurry while at the office because the sketches didn’t look decent), scanned it at the office, converted it to pdf and sent it to them. haha.
