Hi Jaymie.

My name is Manman Jalandoni, an avid follower of your blog.

I would like to request if you could post our Fun Run on your website, under “List of Races 2009″.

Race Name: “Come Run with M.E.”
The Foundation of Ateneo Management Engineers (FAME) is pleased to announce its first-ever Fun Run to be held at the Ateneo campus on Sunday, July 26, 2009. The Fun Run is the last of a series of events leading up to the ME Grand Alumni Homecoming.

The M.E. Fun Run offers a 10Km non-certified course for serious distance runners, as well as a 3Km non-certified course for recreational and first-time runners. Both courses are open to all competitive and casual runners and walkers. The Run begins in the front of the Ateneo Blue Eagle gym. Both the 10K and 3K races are loop courses that wind through Ateneo landmarks such as the College campus, the Church of the Gesu, the Ateneo High School and the Bellarmine field.

I will also send you a formal invite to run with us during this event. Just having it signed by our President and Dept Chairman.

We will post details in our website, as the Race Organization moves along.

Thank you.

Manman Jalandoni

Hi Bullrunner.

Am one of those faceless but grateful runners following your blog. I say keep it up. Great service for us endorphin-dependents.

I will be back running my first 10K on July 19th – after I donated one ( but of course ) of my kidneys to my wife. Transplant was a success and wifey has a new lease of life!

Now I run again to hopefully encourage organ donation – with me as a living proof that donors can still live an active lifestyle after kidney donation. I am not a marketing person so I just don’t know how to effectively market the cause, but I will find out how. Maybe you can refer me to similar organizations.

Hope to share my story someday.

God bless.

hi miss bull runner!

I really enjoy reading your blog. It somehow gave me that “extra push” to get myself into running. I do enjoy running but I think I do not have the stamina to finish a race. But despite this, I would really want to join a marathon. Do you have any advise on first time marathon runners? Or just just advise on how to prepare or train for a marathon?

Thank you. God bless.

greetings bullrunner!!!

I am one of Cebu City’s avid runners and was wondering where you purchased your Nike+ Sportband. I asked a friend in manila to inquire at nike manila and they said it will be available on sept 15. But It seems that you already have one in your photo taken in your perfect saturday run. thanks

Bull Runner,

Hello!…never thought you were one helluvah female runner. Your times are impressive.

Just wanted to share that I, too, have these two dead toenails in my left foot still clinging on. I had them polished and colored a few days back

Running…how I love this!

Dear BR,

I’m Lia.I’m a 30-something mom like you and would like to take up running to lose my persistent baby fat. I’ve been visited your blog a couple of times already, love it!However, I have not considered taking up the sport until now. Please advise me regarding the proper shoes and accesories to buy? Should I get the customized insole at runnr or is that too high tech for me (I’ve only started to run on the treadmill 2x the past week)? – Thanks

We regret to inform Yes Runners that the Yes Run is moved to December 6, 2009 @ UP Diliman. Thus, the regular registration will be until November 30, 2009. We hope that we all can still join in this Run for Positivity, Run for the Deaf children. Maraming salamat!

—-

The Yes Run is a run to affirm the good and the positive in everyone and everywhere. In participating the Yes Run, the runner opens herself to the possibility of good in her life and for promoting it to the others around her. This year’s Yes Run, in particular, promotes the well-being and continued development of the Deaf children and youth currently cared for by the Abuse-Prevention & Treatment and Scholarship programs of CMDP (Catholic Ministry to Deaf People, Inc.).

More than 2,000 Deaf have finished at least High School through CMDP’s Scholarship program and now, it is supporting 171 Deaf scholars. CMDP has psychologically and legally intervened to more than 200 cases of physically and sexually abused Deaf and now, it is taking care of 25 victims. CMDP has developed two deaf abuse-prevention technologies—the Personal Safety Classes and Young Adult Health Education—and is sharing these technologies to different institutions working with Deaf children and youth to prevent abuse of Deaf.

Hi ms. bullrunner,

I had my first half last Sunday and believe it or not, the bull runner played a great part in it.

I am a new runner. I have been running for only two months, the QCIm was actually my 2nd month. It’s my 2nd monthsary as they say! And i’m glad i celebrated it with my first half.

my fascination for running started unexpectedly. I really did not have any plan of getting serious about it. A friend of mine invited me to join her jog, so i did. And if there’s such a thing as love at first sight, that’s probably close to how i can describe my love story with running. Well, i’d like to call it that way rather than saying that it’s become an addiction since many of my friends now call me an addict to running!

I was running everyday during my first month and realized that it was not the right thing to do it. I’d run late at night, midnight even, worse, even at 1 or 2 am. i was crazy and realized i had to keep some sanity with this passion.

Although it was my friend who invited me to jog, running or the passion for it sounded strange to most people around me. I felt like a geek talking or like speaking in tounges that when i begin talking about it, most of them would just stare at me, smile and then change the topic, to something less of a fantasy, it seemed.

Until i got to the bullrunner which was referred to me by a friend who i did not know was also into running for quite some time already. She secretly handed me a sheet of paper with the URL of the bull runner in it. She said i should check this site out to ger motivated which my friends thought was something i did not need. They just did not know how that being “ostracized” was slowly getting into me.

I immediately checked the site and i was flabbergasted as i saw it. It was a goldmine! It was like finally finding a civilization after being stucked in the wilderness fo a century or more accurately, like finally being reunited with the family that i have been looking for all my life.

It was happiness staring at me and i could not do anything but smile. I was morphed into another world i belong to.

Being motivated by it is an understatement, i was inspired, something in me was breathed into life. It had provided me with more strength to go the extra mile and keep on running.

I realized that there are a lot of people who are equally inlove with running and my case was not an isolated one. Craziness is a norm in this world, if i may say.

Aside from the community, it was so rich in information that can help a runner, a budding one like me to be better.

Im logged on to it everyday. It’s minimized on my screen always that when i get the chance and need a break from work, id indulge in it and become oblivious of where i am.

When i ran my first half, i knew, it was quite a too- much- too-soon thing but i thought id take the challenge anyway but with the willingness to stop when my body tells me it has gone into its limit. It was a big deal for me. I could not even sleep the night before and have been wondering all day a day before if id be able to cross the finish line.

But I decided to do it. Atleast i trained for it and tried. No what ifs.

I was ready to fail but with all the motivations i had from a group i met through the bull runner, the running clinic i knew through the bull runner, the store, 2nd wind, where i got my first running shoes that i had to plan and pray for before i was able to buy that i also discovered from the bull runner, the preparations i had from the races i joined that i learned from the bull runner, the people i met at 2nd wind that were so accommodating and supportive i would have not met if not for the bull runner, i successfully did it at 2.15/20 ( i was not sure, i forgot to check it at the finish line)

to the bull runner, i owe most parts of my running journey to you!

what can i say but a HUGE, HUGE THANK YOU!

Hello Ms. Jaymie! It’s me again….. I really like reading your blog! It inspires me to run more marathons & aim for my goals in life =).

You are running in the Condura Run right? This my second time in the Condura Run but first for 10K. I’m really excited! I hope to see you there & eventually not too shy to approach you.

=)

I’m in the search for some eye protection (which sounds much better than “I want to buy new shades since my current oakleys are not very sporty). I browse through your pages and couldn’t find an actual product review for these. You had the one where you chose the 2 shades but never the review. Then you had Optic shades for the SIN marathon. Mind sharing your decision-making process to finally procuring those shades? Thanks.

hello. 1)any word on celebrity run race results? its been way too long considering it was supposedly an “organized” affair? 2) do u know of any upcoming marathons (42.1km) aside from condura? this is my goal this year and preferably i run it on or before my 50th bday on july 24. (this is real!)since i started running 7 months ago and just started increasing my running volume, i chickened out on condura and just signed up for 21K. now the only option (i think) is milo marathon and they haven’t confirmed this year’s event….help!

Hi Jaymie, is Run Radio on the air? The NU 107 website says it is on the air Fridays 9-10:00, but I’ve checked the last two weeks and it’s a motorcyle show at 9:00…maybe their website needs updating.

Hi Jaymie,

I was just wondering if you already have the details of the Sunset Run in Sta. Rosa. I tried to call the phone # noted in the billboard but the person who anwered the phone said that she had no idea that they have such an event. I saw that TBR is on of the sponsors so I was hoping you could give us more information. Thanks!
