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.

WIN A LUNARELITE 5 FROM NIKE!

To start the New Year with a bang, we’re giving out one pair of Nike LunarElite 5 to ONE  lucky winner.

How can you win? TBR will post a surprise question on either one of these mediums:

1. TBR blog
2. TBR Newsletter (subscribe on the right side of this site)
3. TBR twitter account (click here)
4. TBR facebook fan page (click here)

The first one to answer the question correctly wins the shoe.  (I know I’m making it hard for you.  But, that’s the way it should be with a prize like this; the LunarElite 5 isn’t even out in the market yet.)

The question will be posted anytime today from NOW until tomorrow, Friday, 12 noon. May the best runner win!

Why did I put myself through this on Christmas eve?  I didn’t realize how hard it would be to choose winners among the over 20 runners that sent comments that humored me or tugged at my heartstrings.  I wish that I could just make all of you win!  Anyhow, after several minutes of reading and re-reading, I chose these three winners for various reasons…

Runningbeyondair because I empathized with their suffering from injuries:

Me and my wife are into running for more than a year already and we have experienced a lot of injuries. I believe chi running will help us eliminate, if not reduce, the probabilities of us getting injuries during our long runs.

Angeli because of her enthusiasm (reminds me of how I was 2 years ago):

Sentence #1 – Because I’ve been lucky enough to have read this post 16 minutes before the closing time of the contest, so I’ll probably be lucky enough to get a slot!
Sentence #2 – I’m a beginner CHInese runner who’s interested in learning how to become a better runner, and I’ll be a CHIrful and enthusiastic participant for both seminars

Iah because he’s a fighter and I want him to run many more injury-free marathons:

I am a runner who is currently battling asthma and cardiac dysrhythmia but despite these odds I have already done 2 full marathons and still aiming to do more. I hope this Chi technique can enhance the way I run so I can perform better.

Congratulations to the three winners! Lit Onrubia and I will see you and your partner on December 28, 2009, Monday, 6:30pm in front of Runnr and Mizuno at Bonifacio High Street.  Please comment below to confirm your attendance.  If you cannot make it, please send a couple to take your place.  If you cannot find a replacement, kindly inform me so I can choose another winner.  See you then!

Thank you to all those who participated in the Chi Running contest!  Merry Christmas to all!
