Four Legs X-ing

{Watch Out- Doggie Running}

So, guess who spent the whole morning wearing a hands-free dog leash (more on my new fave running accessory soon!) and secret training in the garage...

;)

Registration fee for the Pet Express Doggie Run 2011 is P350.

Part of the reg fee will go to SAWS (The Strike Animal Welfare Society). Register in any Pet Express branch (SM Cubao 912-5924, SM Hypermarket Makati 843-7174, SM Mall of Asia 836-8955).

Right Round

Totally random. Totally mundane.

I just love how Marks & Spencer's thoughtfully designed round tea bags fit perfectly in your mug. Plus, it's ergonomically correct to rest on your baggy eyes too (reusing cooled tea bags is a great solution to soothe tired peepers)!

Now, if only everything else in life fits just as perfect and makes just as much sense.

I'm so stressed!

Sigh.

(Heya, Universe. I'd better be back up on that bilog ang mundo thing by tomorrow.)

2011. Unlimited Dreaming. Check!

{Win a contest. Check!}

A few days ago, I stumbled on an online contest inspired by The Body Shop's newest fragrance, DREAMS UNLIMITED. The contest was easy enough, just leave a comment answering the question "What is your dream for 2011, and how do you plan to achieve it?"

I answered a non-running related dream- To create a children's book with a matching line of merchandise and furniture to boot. And yeah, I have dusted off ye olde sketchbook already! Out of 287 entries, my "dream" was one of the magic 20. Yay! Talk about a nice inbox surprise.

I had a chat with Ana Santos, author and founder of the blog SexandSensibilities.com, which sponsored the contest. And she mentioned that just by writing your dreams down for everyone to see, the Universe (and you) will do everything in its power to make it come true. Why not, right?

Just like my book dream, it's time to level up. So here I am writing about my 2011 running dream- To finish another marathon in 4:30 (or less). So, in between pages of my book(!!??), I'll have to be logging more kilometers as well. Alrighty, let's do this, Universe! ;)

{Next to cross out- Run a 4:30 marathon!}

One of the prizes included a power planner from Belle de Jour. Every year they (BDJ) come up with a bucket list of things to accomplish for the year. I got such a kick out of ticking off item 64. Win a contest first (see topmost pic). Next on the list, item number 42 in record-breaking time! Oh, and since we're already dreaming anyway, hopefully my next one will be in New York, Barcelona, Disneyland, or some other international marathon.

What about you? What's YOUR dream this 2011? I'm curious... and the Universe wants to know too!

More than the thrill of winning (I love simple pleasures like that), it was meeting these women, hearing their dreams, and knowing what they did (and are doing) to achieve them that was so amazing. Cheers to unlimited dreaming!
