Uhm, yes… but only because my ITB is acting up again.

winna said on May 05 09 at 2:00 PM Reply
Yep. A week without running is too little sacrifice compared to what those goodies can give me

Shelemiah Castro said on May 05 09 at 2:00 PM Reply
No I wont. the pleasure of running is unmatched. Running changes lives
I can attest to this! To know more about my story (and Chin’s, my better half) our story is in the year book of Takbo.Ph!

Thanks to you, TBR, for being active and pioneering the running community. More power! happy Birthday!

If you ask me now, yes, I am sick and so these prizes are sure to lift my spirits. Next week? Nah….:)

the beginner said on May 05 09 at 2:02 PM Reply
Yes because I’m in need of new shoes.

Ja said on May 05 09 at 2:02 PM Reply
yes, cause i need the new shoes and running with those will feel like out of the box experience; first time to run, first time to use a new pair of shoes.

aby said on May 05 09 at 2:03 PM Reply
i would as it would give me a well deserved rest.:-)

rene said on May 05 09 at 2:04 PM Reply
no! running is my life.

mharlo pua said on May 05 09 at 2:06 PM Reply
Sure. Since I have one recovery week allotted a month …

Maria Carmelita Rigo said on May 05 09 at 2:07 PM Reply
Sure. Because by then, you’d be back with a bang, with a vengeance and with kick-ass new shoes! =) happy birthday, jaymie!

janine+ said on May 05 09 at 2:08 PM Reply
YES..so that I can spend the rest of the year running with my new running gear! =)

Malds said on May 05 09 at 2:09 PM Reply
No. Although the prizes are very tempting, it’s not worth my sanity.

Mai Mai said on May 05 09 at 2:10 PM Reply
YES! Because on the 8th day, I shall run again!

neo said on May 05 09 at 2:11 PM Reply
No I wont quit, as running is a part of my life!

Azenith Enriquez said on May 05 09 at 2:11 PM Reply
yes i would, dahil masakit ang tuhod, isang lingo akong magrerelax: magpapa-spa, magsa-shop for levi’s at nike, kakain Paul Calvin’s. Instead of running, maglalakad lang ako para ma-break in ang bago kong nike shoes

ross said on May 05 09 at 2:12 PM Reply
Yes! there are other workouts like cycling… yoga… and chasing after my two year old son.

sahlee bugna-barrer said on May 05 09 at 2:13 PM Reply
yes i would. so that i would have time to wear and brag about my winnings to my friends.

jeremy uy said on May 05 09 at 2:14 PM Reply
WOULD YOU QUIT RUNNING FOR A WEEK IN EXCHANGE FOR THE PRIZES MENTIONED ABOVE? WHY?

Yes, because after harassing my body to run 5 days last week and joining a race last Sunday, I ended up with a chaffed ball and nipples, quitting 1 week and getting the prizes above will surely make my hibernation period a week to remember-all courtesy of The Bull Runner!!

The Running Ninja said on May 05 09 at 2:18 PM Reply
No, I will not give up one one week of running/training.

A true runner is motivated not by winning material rewards.

A true runner is fueled by passion, forgets fear, overcomes fatigue, triumphs over difficulties, and will say no even to the TBR birthday/anniversary lootbag =) knowing that the true prize is the sense of fulfillment that comes with crossing the finish line after having trained well and hard.

Parang essay exam imong contest TBR!

Haide said on May 05 09 at 2:22 PM Reply
No. I love running!

Richmond Alviar said on May 05 09 at 2:24 PM Reply
Yes, because the prize is right!

Jody Jacinto said on May 05 09 at 2:29 PM Reply
WOULD YOU QUIT RUNNING FOR A WEEK IN EXCHANGE FOR THE PRIZES MENTIONED ABOVE? WHY?

Yes, because I would need a week to do the ff anyhow: shop at Nike using my free GC’s while wearing my spanking new shoes, fit my new jeans at Levis, share my gatorade with fellow runners, devote one day to pure relaxation after my free massage and gloat to my friends for actually winning all these prizes at Paul Calvin’s

I said on May 05 09 at 2:32 PM Reply
No because I want to start a new outdoor media channel as a LIVE RUNNING BILLBOARD by running in Patty Ann Jeans and Nike Sneakers, while chowing down sandwiches from Paul Calvin and gulping down Gatorade.

Trish said on May 05 09 at 2:34 PM Reply
Yes, definitely! I’d love to win those cool prizes!
I also need to rest so that my dead toenails (3 to be exact) can heal and eventually ressurect itself!

Ingrid Abueg said on May 05 09 at 2:38 PM Reply
Yes because my shoe is already worn out after the bataan102, the only jeans i have is owned by my wife, i am underweight and massages makes me tickle!

run2dmoon said on May 05 09 at 2:45 PM Reply
Yes, I would quit because I’m recovering from 42km hilly terrain and used my Nike Pegasus running it, was the perfect long distance shoe for me!

Carolyn said on May 05 09 at 2:51 PM Reply
I’ll quit – physically yes, virtually no.

(i would sleep hugging my new nike running shoes then dream that i am virtually running wearing the new shoes, new Nike shirt , and a pair of Levi’s jeans with a hydration pack filled with Gatorade. After the virtual run I will go for a massage at the Cocoon Spa and then have hearty sandwich at Paul Calvin’s). Ooops, I was dreaming.

odie said on May 05 09 at 2:56 PM Reply
Yes. As one infant milk commercial says: emotional quotient

Gabriel said on May 05 09 at 3:06 PM Reply
Yes, because i will be able to enjoy the above items after a week or so, am still injured anyway.

Bing said on May 05 09 at 3:10 PM Reply
i would quit running for a week to have recover from learning surfing over the weekend and celebrating my natal day to deserve the “gifts” you are offering .

allyn said on May 05 09 at 3:11 PM Reply
i would quit running for a week to win the prizes so that i don’t have to shop for my wife’s birthday gifts !

ever said on May 05 09 at 3:14 PM Reply
If someone steals my (very) OLD nike rubbershoes, I won’t mind at all — then I wouldn’t have anything to use until I win these NICE prizes and get myself a new pair.

Sam Cruz said on May 05 09 at 3:14 PM Reply
Yes. For a passionate runner, you only have two reasons for you to stop running for a week. If it is TBR’s birthday which only happens once a year or if you are injured.

JunC said on May 05 09 at 3:23 PM Reply
Nah, will just skip a training session that’s all.

marga said on May 05 09 at 3:30 PM Reply
Yeah, that will give me a week-long satisfaction of smelling the scent of a NEW NIKE shoes!

Happy Birthday TBR
Congrats to your site’s 2nd anniversary
More power!

Macky said on May 05 09 at 3:44 PM Reply
No way Jose — Nike gear sucks, I’m too old for dungarees, I don’t do spas, and it’s a sin to throw away a training programme just three weeks before a major race. (There, I made sure I won’t win. Happy birthday TBR!!)

miraclecello said on May 05 09 at 3:45 PM Reply
yes! i can definitely QUIT running for a week! a week won’t make me WEAK in comparison for new and FREE STUFF!

there’s no such thing as free lunch, only FREE GEAR (plus jeans, massages, and energy drinks too!) from the one and ONLY TBR!

iandmac said on May 05 09 at 3:50 PM Reply
I would quit running for these sweet prizes to reimburse my recent running expenses!

WOULD YOU QUIT RUNNING FOR A WEEK IN EXCHANGE FOR THE PRIZES MENTIONED ABOVE? WHY?

Definitely NO!….Because running makes me more than just a person that….

B–Believe to finish the race besides of my worn-out rubber shoes—–(Unless you gave me a new pair of Nike Running Shoes):)

U–Undying to sweat under the sun and lose weight using old singlets from the different race—(how i wish again that I could wear nike gear all throughout the race..just wishing!!!)

L–Living like a superstar after finishing the race—-(a Red Tab “Patty Anne” jeans for women would definitely makes me more than a superstar after the race)

L—Lasting experience that would never leave my life—I quote from Gatorade Slogan “Is it in you?” Definitely YES! Running is in me—-(that’s why I love to have a 1 case of Gatorade)

The rest of the prizes is I will share to you…you are such a great and inspiring….

R U N N ER—–Happy Birthday Jaymie! I hope you enjoy a Party at Paul Calvin’s Deli and Spend your day in Cocoon Spa have a massage and make-over!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BULL RUNNER!!!!

Would I quit running for one week in exchange for the said prizes? Yes! I would resort to walking then and concentrate on strengthening my upper body via weight training.

Jard Gerona said on May 05 09 at 4:24 PM Reply

Day 5: Go to Paul Calvin

Jawee said on May 05 09 at 4:26 PM Reply
yes, with the current financial crisis that the country is in right now, i think anyone would exchange 1 week of training for these goodies.;-)

bobby said on May 05 09 at 5:00 PM Reply
My answer is NO! because running is a life to me and quiting for a week will trigger me to go back to my old lazy life.

Ireneo Jurilla, Jr. said on May 05 09 at 5:05 PM Reply
Yes, if that week starts now… because I am currently injured from my last ultra so I’m again forced to stop running

dhenztm said on May 05 09 at 5:35 PM Reply
YES! For a bunch of prizes like that, i can sacrifice a week of not running, after all it’s only one week

Carina"FlyingBoar" said on May 05 09 at 5:36 PM Reply
Never!!! The happiness I get from running can never be replaced!

Gene Ladrido said on May 05 09 at 5:55 PM Reply
Yes, i will quit running for a week..No running but lots of swimming and biking to compensate for it..hehehe..

After that, I will do lots of running wearing my new nike shoes.Yohoo!

Why not? Nagtatampo na din mga hindi ko na-aatendan na class because of too much running. Time for Body Jam, Cycling and Body Balance naman.

f. ryan fermin said on May 05 09 at 6:25 PM Reply
No. My pear-shaped body needs to fit inside the Levi’s 501 jeans.

Ismit

Smith said on May 05 09 at 6:28 PM Reply
No way, because even if i get the Levi’s jeans, how would i fit in them?

wilson said on May 05 09 at 6:53 PM Reply
No! Because running is my passion and is part of my life. I would run barefooted than quit running.

Kendal said on May 05 09 at 6:54 PM Reply
No way!

I will never quit running for a ”Patty Anne” jeans.

Happy birthday….

Jon Ogsimer said on May 05 09 at 7:44 PM Reply

paolo said on May 05 09 at 9:23 PM Reply
Monday is “No Run Day” with my pair of Nike shoes;
Tuesday, I go shopping with a GC I can use;
Wednesday, I won’t run because I squeeze in Levi’s jeans;
Thursday, drink the Gatorade with protein-rich green beans;
Friday, I pig out at Paul Calvin’s great lunch buffet;
Saturday, a massage at Cocoon before Sunday;
Sunday, though they say a Sabbath does your body best;
seven days without a run is quite an awful test;
I’ll go to sleep that night with shoes on and firmly tied laces;
because the next day, Monday, I am sure to join the races!

ganns said on May 05 09 at 9:24 PM Reply
NO WAY! I won’t quit running for a week for these prizes…I’d quit running for a MONTH for prizes this fantastic!

Runri said on May 05 09 at 9:36 PM Reply
I would definitely NOT quit running for those prizes so I could chase whoever won and steal them!!

Cougcat said on May 05 09 at 9:41 PM Reply
I’d rather run barefoot with no clothes in the pouring rain than to stop running for a week.

i2runner said on May 05 09 at 9:43 PM Reply
Yes, because I desperately need bragging rights for finally winning a major prize after more than 2 decades of running and racing as a virtual unknown

Rafael Alvaran said on May 05 09 at 10:02 PM Reply
YES, because I would’ve gotten my usual dose of endorphins (that I would’ve produced by running) upon receiving the prizes

Raymund Abenojar said on May 05 09 at 10:05 PM Reply
WOULD YOU QUIT RUNNING FOR A WEEK IN EXCHANGE FOR THE PRIZES MENTIONED ABOVE? WHY?

Yes I would quit running for a week, since these prizes will help stop my addiction from the Jalapeno and original Cheetos which Jaymie introduced to me last last week!!! I need to stop it already!!! Hahaha

The prices above are really worth waiting for a week!!! =)

If you’ll include a round-trip plane ticket to Singapore with three nights hotel accommodation so I could run the 2009 Singapore Marathon, hell, yeah!

Coz I think everybody needs a little time away.
And even runners need a holiday.

YES I WILL. I’m Injured, what else can I do but quit running. Wouldn’t it be great to do that while recovering from a knee injury with the prizes above?

omar said on May 06 09 at 12:00 AM Reply
Yes, for those nice gifts I will quit running for a week and instead do a combination of biking, brisk walking, weight training or basketball (HBD Jaymie!).

Bong Ortiz said on May 06 09 at 12:14 AM Reply
not running for a week waiting for some kick arse prize is a piece of cake compared to a 3-month long knee-stricken forced leave in running who’s not a sucker for freebies?

A week of pain for a year of fun!!! Of course!

Dennis said on May 06 09 at 10:33 AM Reply
no, i will not quit running for a week for any material thing. i love running so much that only three things can keep me from doing it: injury, disease, and death.

dingdong said on May 06 09 at 11:04 AM Reply
Unless you are giving away Pacquaio’s prize money, I don’t think anything is worth quitting the weekly run for if my daily torturous shin splint won’t make me stop, the great prizes just can’t replace the highs of running.

atty-in-the-run said on May 06 09 at 11:08 AM Reply
WOULD YOU QUIT RUNNING FOR A WEEK IN EXCHANGE FOR THE PRIZES MENTIONED ABOVE? WHY?

Yes, I would. As long as the quitting for a week happens after my marathon race! Recovery time din naman. HAHA!
