I’m Getting Ready…Getting Reeeeeaaaady….  

Posted by THE COLLECTIVE in , , , , ,


To put it succinctly WE are getting ready and are on the final stages of our preparation for the marathon this Sunday.

Similar to most Filipinos running a marathon in Manila, WE wish that there will be adequate amounts of water and that there will be enough clouds on the atmosphere to block significant amounts of radiation from the sun. Call us pessimists, but WE doubt our wishes will come into being.

WE have observed Filipino runners make provision for sports drinks, gels, skin lubricants and running apparel in a compulsive manner when preparing for an important race. A totally logical form of approach considering the usual scarcity of water and other forms of re-hydrating fluids in Philippine running events, not to mention the tropical climate. WE would like to adhere to this norm considering that the human body WE will assume for the race still has terrestrial requirements.

WE have prepared a list of the implements and substances needed for July 5.

  • Race Number w/ pre-attached pins
  • Milo Singlet
  • Compression Leggings
  • Sports Socks
  • Asics Gel Oberon (Color Green)
  • Fuel Belt, 4 Flasks – filled with zodan, a liquid-like concoction of hyper-active particles with high osmolality meant to invigorate a carbon-based life form.
  • StarGlasses - purchased from a merchant residing at Sector 4 of the Crab Nebula. Looks like regular polarized sunglasses but is a mini-computer with GPS read-out, x-ray vision, life-signs scanning and several other functions that its artificial intelligence is capable of.
  • Anti-Gluon Gun – to unravel the atoms of any being that might display hostility towards us. Small enough to fit in the Fuel Belt pouch.

If there would be any suggestions as for other things to bring on a race, it would be most welcomed.

In addition to tapering WE are also consuming large amounts of of Milo to store enough “Olympic energy”… once again, pardon our attempt for human humor.


Run Strong and Prosper!

why not start blowing other Suns (not OUR sun OK?!) and harvest Energon instead as your source of energy. You will surely give Decepticons a run for their money!

I'm surprised you went for Asics, I thought you would love Newton shoes :)

Will you make yourself known to us on July 5?

Wow, these stuff can't be seen here, I hope it would spell the difference. The only thing I am familiar with is our "glue gun". Good luck once again martian friend and I will be in check of those gadgets come july 5. BTW, are you bringing Elliot and his bike as your support?

I find it difficult using telepathy, would you mind if I add YOU on my bloglist.

Hail Run Unltd.!

Elliot and his bike are concepts taken in the classic movie E.T. if WE are not mistaken? You have a refined sense of humor Run Unltd., WE find your "joke" to our liking.

Thank you for bidding us "good luck" on Sunday. WE wish you the same for you and may you finish with Personal Best.

And thank you for wanting to add our site in your bloglist. WE hope you do not mind if WE add yours in our own list as well.

Run Strong and Prosper!

Hail Running Ninja!

Thank you for dropping our site, yet, another visit.

WE appreciate your humorous comment, however, the Transformers are merely products of an animated show. Reality is stranger and remarkably funnier than fiction.

And WE do not subsist on stellar radiation for nourishment.

WE do believe that humans will soon be prepared to have direct contact with what you coin as Extra Terrestrials. But NOT yet. For now, our interaction with humans will still be limited to the internet.

WE bid you good luck on your next race Running Ninja.

Run Strong and Prosper!

you're truly amusing! and i'm a bit interested with your zodan and starglasses.

hope you could share some of your hyperhydro when we see each other on the route, and perhaps, may i have your starglasses as souvenir after the run =)

It's taper time! Goodluck on Sunday, TC!

Hey The Collective, I also have Fuel Belt, but where can I get zodan? Is the stuff available in RUNNR, Second Wind or R.O.X.?

THE COLLECTIVE   says July 1, 2009 at 8:37 PM

Greetings Jet!

WE are pleased that you find our web log to your liking.

WE will of course share our zodan, that is, if we could catch up with you. Your name implies that your speed might be at par with jet propelled aircraft.

WE bid you good luck on the race.

Run Strong and Prosper!

Salutations, Rod!

WE thank you for wishing us good luck.

May Lady Fortune smile on you on your first marathon Rod.

Run Strong and Prosper!

THE COLLECTIVE   says July 1, 2009 at 8:38 PM

Salutations, Rico!

Zodan can be purchased from any Merchant Ship with warp-drive capability at the Omega Quadrant.

Run Strong and Prosper!
