How time flies! It feels like only yesterday when I launched the first 5 to 5/5 Contest last 2009. I contemplated on a second run for 2010 a couple of months ago. And, today, I got the shock of my life when I realized it was May 1 already. Aaack!

After a number of texts and calls with generous and supportive sponsors (you can email me at thebullrunner(at)gmail.com if you would like to donate prizes for our runners), I can now give you the good news…

This is the official launch of the 5 DAYS TO 5/5 CONTEST. EVERYDAY for the next 5 days until May 5, 2010, I shall be giving away cool running prizes on this blog.

5/5 is the anniversary of thebullrunner.com. It’s also my birthday. I really couldn’t ask for anything more when it comes to running (uhm, on second thought, a PR at NYC Marathon sounds good). And, I believe the hubby will take care of his gift for me in 5 days (ehem ehem).

So, I thought it was best to celebrate my anniversary and birthday by thanking you all for being here.  Whether you’re a lurker, a frequent commenter, an FB pal, or one of the great, wonderful friends I’ve met through this blog, know that I feel blessed to have crossed paths with you through our common love for running.  This is my way of giving back after receiving so much from you all.
