If you’re game for a night race this weekend, good news: Adobo Run After Dark registration has been extended!

The in-store registration (R.O.X. BHS, Toby’s Arena EDSA SHangri-La Mall, and Runnr Trinoma) is extended to October 28, Friday. There will also be on-site registration on Oct 29 at the Aseana City Business Center lobby (just beside McDonald’s in Macapagal Blvd cor Bradco Ave) from 10am till 6pm.

Now for even better news:  I’m giving away 6 race packs to Adobo Run After Dark!  I’m choosing 3 lucky winners to win 2 complimentary race packs each.

Care to win this treat? Here’s how:

1. Answer this question in 1-2 sentences: WHAT’S THE WACKIEST, WEIRDEST, OR WILDEST COSTUME YOU WOULD RUN IN? WHY?
2. Try to give the funniest, most entertaining, or out of this world answer you can come up with. (Is it obvious I need some Halloween excitement in my life?  My kids, ages 7 and 10, have boycotted trick or treating this year, you see! Sob sob)
3. Post your answer in the comments section below.
4. Runner may only submit 1 entry. Submitting more than 1 entry leads to automatic disqualification.
5. Contest ends October 26, 2011 at 3:00 PM.
6. All answers will NOT be published until after the contest period.
7. Winner will be chosen by TBR and will be notified via email and will be announced on this blog.
8. Three winners will be chosen.  Each winner will win 2 race packs each.
9. Winners may claim complimentary registration form and sign up for the race at Runner’s Runner booth, 2/F ROX, Bonifacio High Street immediately after notification. Please present an ID to claim your prize.
10. In case you’re wondering, winners need not wear the costume during the race if they win the complimentary kit. It would be great if they would though! Hah!

May the best runners win!

Aaah, the life of a woman. They say we shouldn’t try to be perfect; we shouldn’t try to be Superwomen because there’s no such thing; and we should cut ourselves some slack once in a while. I agree…sometimes! Most of the time, I would have to admit that we are in fact perfect multi-taskers who can balance family, career, and caring for ourselves all at one go. Yes, we are Superwomen. And, yes, we manage to look good while we’re juggling all the chaos in our lives.

If you agree with me—fine, even if you don’t—it would be great if you could make it to this talk on Women, Work, and Wellness on November 23, 2011 at Rockwell Tent, Makati. It should be interesting (and fun) to hear women coming together to talk about balancing career, fitness, and everything else in our lives. Host is one of my favorite mommy-athlete celebs Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan and speakers, Miriam Quiambao, Mutya Laxa, and myself.

For inquiries, please contact Kristelle at 687-2614 or 706-4853. See you there!

And now for our free running talks.

See you for the first of our series of running talks: BULL CIRCLE 1: Wednesday, October 26, 2011, 7 PM at 3/F ROX, Bonifacio High Street. This will cater mainly to our TBR Dream Marathoners and will be closely linked to their training needs in the coming months, but everyone interested in running and marathoning are welcome to join. It’s free!

Speakers will be myself, Neville Manaois – Team Principal of Pinoy Ultra Runners and Technical Director of TBR Dream Marathon, and TBR Dream Alumni – Bic Ferreria and Ton Gatmaitan.

Armand and Mitch Felipe-Mendoza will also be giving a brief talk on the TBR Dream Weight Management Program which will be made available for free for only 100 lucky TBR Dream Marathoners.  We will be opening 50 slots for onsite registration during the Bull Session and 50 slots will be opened on this blog within the week.  First come first served basis.  If you are serious about nutrition and weight management along with your training for the marathon, I highly recommend you sign in to this program.  Armand and Mitch are experts in this field and you’ll be one of the few to receive this for free.

Hope to see you there!
