MY IDEAL RUN WOULD BE IN __________________ ON ________________ WITH ________________.

Good luck to all!

Oh, the 3rd winner of the 3rd Nike+ SportsBand was meant to win it.  You’ll know by the name…

But, before I announce who the lucky commenter is, let me share my favorite answer from Pete.sr:

Running is like THE THRILL OF VICTORY
you’ll never know THE AGONY OF THE FEET.

I beg to disagree with the 2nd line because I’ve certainly felt the agony of my feet, knees, and shins ever since I started running.  But, I liked the play of words there so Pete.Sr got 4 entries in the raffle.

As for the Nike+ SportsBand, the commenter was chosen once again by my little Bull Runner…

And the winner is…

WINNA!

You are the Winna!  I mean, you are the WINNER, Winna!  (See, I told you she was meant to win!)

Thanks to all the runners who joined! See you at the next race!

2 down, 3 to go.

REVISED RACE RULE NO. 4:  TBR’s favorite answer (for its humor, creativity, or wit) will receive 4 additional raffle entries regardless of its place in the race.  In other words, that commenter, even if he/she didn’t make it to the Top 20, will automatically be included in the race raffle and gain 4 additional entries.

RUNNING IS LIKE A ____________ OF _____________,
YOU’LL ________________________________________.

Good luck to all!

…Michael Phelps!

Just kidding.  Phelps is a winner in my book, but no, not in this TBR Race.

To the 60 plus commenters, thank you so much for participating!  I had a good hearty laugh reading your responses.  You know what would be even more entertaining: if you actually did some of the things you said you’d do just to keep on running!  What I would give to see Ricecooker in his wife’s running shorts, Paolo licking his toilet bowl, Ever farting in an elevator full of strangers, Don cheering for La Salle, or Chaia going celibate!  (Click here to view all comments)  

I know it’s cliche but I had a tough time choosing my favorite comment among the Top 20.  (In succeeding races, I’ll change rules and choose the best among ALL comments.  That commenter, whether first or last, will automatically be included in the race raffle and gain 4 additional entries.) But, I ended up choosing Rhea for being a wise, scheming, and merciless wife. (Kidding Rhea, I know this was said in the spirit of fun.  It was, right?)

Marvs, Rhea’s husband I assume, first posted this:

I would rather have my armpit hair plucked out one by one than quit running!!!

Then, Rhea posted this:

I would rather have my husband’s armpit hair plucked out one by one than quit running!!!

High-five to Rhea.  Win-win situation for the woman!  You got 4 additional entries in the raffle.

So, again, top 20 commenters had 1 entry each plus 4 entries for Rhea.  All entries were tossed in a shoe box and hand picked by my pseudo-DTI representative aka little Bull Runner with his eyes closed.

Are you ready?  The winner for the 2nd Nike+ SportsBand is…

EVER!

Congratulations, Ever!  Let’s hope you’ll never have to quit running nor fart in a confined space! 

Hope to see you all in the 3rd race!
