Training Goes On with Playtex Plus a Chance to Win P3,500 Runnr GC & Playtex Products

Monday, 9 July 2012  |  Gear + Gadgets

Now that I swim, bike, and run six times a week, with kids, work, and a household to manage as well, there’s almost no time for me to sit still (except when I get my weekly massage).

It used to be that when the dreaded time of the month came for women like me, I would quit working out for at least three of the heavy days. It drove me nuts. I couldn’t run because it was my 2nd day. I wouldn’t register for a race because I knew I’d be getting my period then. No way I’d even attempt to swim. It was just too uncomfortable and downright messy to run, bike, or swim with a napkin on. (Sorry for TMI, guys!)

That was until I discovered tampons. I use Playtex Glide now. Whoa boy, it changed everything for me. I kid you not. Nowadays, my monthly period just comes and goes without affecting my workout or lifestyle too much.

I used the Playtex Glide during my longest bike ride a few weeks ago, I’ve done speedwork wearing them, and I don’t even remember how many times I’ve gone swimming with them on. It’s really the perfect companion for women like me who live an active lifestyle.

So, to celebrate the huge difference Playtex Glide has made in my life (I told you I wasn’t exaggerating haha!), I’m throwing a contest for female readers.

WHAT YOU CAN WIN:
> Grand Prize: P3,500 worth of Gift Certificates from RUNNR store + P500 worth of Playtex products
> 3 runners up: P500 worth of Playtex products

CONTEST DURATION:
3 weeks – July 9 to July 30, 2012

HOW YOU CAN WIN:
1) LIKE Playtex Philippines Facebook page
2) LIKE The Bull Runner Facebook page
3) Post a comment below answering this question:

What seemingly impossible run, race, or event do you think you can achieve with Playtex during your monthly period?  Example: I can do a full marathon twice even with my period!  (1 sentence only)

4) Include the following in the comments box:
> Your full name
> Your username on Facebook

CONTEST RULES:
1) Deadline for submission of entries: MONDAY, JULY 30, 2012 at 11:59 p.m.
2) TBR will choose the top ten answers based on their wit, humor, and creativity.
3) Top 10 answers will be eligible for a raffle conducted by TBR via random.org to determine the Grand Prize winner and three runners up.
4) All entries must comply strictly with the rules, must have complete information, and must be submitted before contest closes.
5) Only one entry per runner. Submission of more than one entry leads to disqualification.
6) Only females are eligible to join the contest.
7) Winner will be announced on this blogpost as an update and will be notified via email on how to claim the prize.

May the best female runner win!

Epic Relay 250: Team Snail Runners Win a Free Slot!

Friday, 1 June 2012  |  Race Announcements

Thank you to everyone who joined the Epic Relay 250 Contest.

I have a confession to make. I had such a hard time choosing the best answer (and I didn’t want to be accused of favoritism choosing TBR Dream Marathon alumni over other groups), so I decided to raffle off the prize among all submissions that complied with the rules.

And the winner is…HANNAH ROSE PUA! Her Team Captain is: Arlene Cheryl Calleja

Hannah

Here’s Hannah’s submission to the question:

Q: Why does your team deserve to win a slot for Epic Relay 250?

A: We are SNAIL RUNNERS ALABANG, our team deserves to win the free slot to Epic Relay 250 because we don’t just run with our feet, we run with precision fueled with our passion. This will make us achieve a great work as a team, it is not the prize nor other stuff but it is the TEAM WORK that we will all share.

Congrats to Hannah and Snail Runners Alabang! I’ll be emailing you on how to claim your prize! Enjoy the race!  Thank you to all the runners who joined the contest.
