I just registered for the Animo Triathlon mini-sprint distance on September 14! I know, it’s next week already. Don’t remind me. I’m in denial.
82% of me is excited.
10% is nervous about the 350m swim.
5% is wondering how to prepare for transitions.
3% is trying to figure out what to wear.
Boy oh boy oh boy, what have I gotten myself into? Good thing I managed to drag, I mean, invite my 17-year-old nephew to do the mini-sprint with me. Wish us luck!
While you were recovering from your Nike+ Human Race race a couple of days ago, you may have been sipping your morning coffee while browsing through the Sunday papers. If you had Phil. Daily Inquirer, you may have read Ms. Tessa Prieto-Valdez’s column which featured the race and the Nike Lunar Testing…
Zoom in on the photo above and you may just find a few familiar faces in there…
To Tessa Valdez, thank you for the feature! Best of luck in NY Marathon. And, if or when I see you in another race, I hope I’ll finally have the guts to say HI!

According to Coach Rio, Team Philippines placed 2nd in Asia for the most number of runners in the Nike+ Human Race held yesterday. First place went to Japan. Based on total world count, Philippines was number 19.
Congratulations to us all!
Attention Nike Headquarters: Don’t you think Manila should be a key city for Nike+ Human Race 2009?
Annie and I have just cried our eyes out after receiving the most unexpected, thrilling news ever.
I got home a few minutes ago to find this comment in my blog from Mr. Miguel Celdran of Nike Park, Bonifacio High Street:
Dear Ms. Bullrunner,
Thank you very much for bringing this inspiring story to my attention. Athletes like your friend Annie are what inspires us here at Nike. We laud her determination and wish her a speedy recovery.
I would appreciate it if you could inform her daughter that we at Nike Park applaud her mothers effort and in turn would like to give her a 16K Gift Certificate. Please provide me the name of her daughter so I can make arrangements for her to pick it up at Nike Bonifacio High Street. She can then avail of it at any Nike Park Store. You may get in touch with me at my email address.
Best regards,
Miguel Celdran
To Mr. Celdran, may you be blessed a hundred times over for your generosity and kindness. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
