NB Power Run PostPoned

Sunday Sep 27, 2009

Right about now, we should be running on the wide streets of Fort Bonifacio. But see I’m here in our room blogging.

Thursday evening, we were advised that there’s a storm coming on Saturday Sept 27 09. A few weeks back Mike and I were worrying how will go to the race if Yzabella will be awake when we leave. I told him I can ask my mom or niece to come along so someone can look after her while we’re running (jogging). But Mike decided we’ll bring her instead and Yz can run with me.

And then came this storm. Although Mike runs even if it’s raining, he doesn’t want to risk it now. He had many jobs at hand and getting sick is not in our list right now. So he thought we will not go to the NB Power Run instead.

When I checked my blog comments this early morning around 2am, I found this:

OFFICIAL ADVISORY: The NB Power Run Raising Hope for September 27 is postponed due to typhoon ondoy. For the safety and welfare of all participants the event is moved to November 29, 2009 (Sunday) same venue. Please keep your race kits for additional perks. Kindly check your favorite running blogs and other media for further announcement. Thank you for your cooperation.

Yay! It’s a relief. But I thought someone might be tricking me so I went to Takbo.ph and found this:

We wish to inform you that the New Balance Power Run – Raising Hope is postponed due to weather conditions making it impossible (flooding) to set up and stage it properly tomorrow morning.

The new date of the New Balance Power Run is November 29, Sunday.  Same Venue.  Weekends in between are all fully booked.

For questions, call their office at 8981933 or all NB and Planet Sports registration stores only.  New Balance is asking you not to take text messages as official announcements.  Further updates will be posted here at Takbo.ph and thru radio announcements.

I think there are other races on that particular date. But so far we haven’t registered on other events, so let’s just see. At least they postponed it and moved to a later date. Gotta get back to training. ^^
