Some shots of my new Timex Billboard with Piolo!
I can’t wait to see these myself… I have not been to Manila since they have been put up and apparently they are all over the place according to my friends. Coolness! I felt clumsy having this shoot next to Piolo but it was a great experience!
Now to make sure I get my pre-pregnancy body back post-delivery…haha!

Off Season for a Good Reason
As I write this, I am using my pen and paper as there is a nationwide power outage and I am trying to conserve my laptop battery. I am also munching slowly on my breakfast and savouring my cup of hot chocolate. A lingering morning meal is certainly one of life’s simple pleasures.
My husband, on the other hand, is out doing his long run. On any other given Sunday, I would most likely have done the same, but for the next few months I am drastically reducing my run and bike mileage and concentrating more on swimming. No, I am not injured. As a matter of fact, the explanation for my low training volume is quite happy news-we are expecting a baby! …. to read more, http://teamtimex.timexblogs.com/2011/06/05/off-season-for-a-good-reason/

It was a great surprise having found out I won the readers’ poll and come to think of it, quite flattering as I don’t really know how many women I have reached out to… maybe more than I think, haha 🙂 Anyway we had a lovely evening with the other awardees who showed up, including Venus Raj, Cristalle Belo Henares, Anne Curtis, Andi Manzano, Frenchesca Farr, and Raissa Laurel.
Here are some of the photos my proud husband took…

2011 So Far…
Posted in Fun, Racing by Ani De Leon
The first quarter of the year has passed me by quite quickly. I sometimes feel like I am riding a high speed train from which I cannot get off. Well things finally came to an abrupt halt, or shall I say shaky jolt, last night here in Thailand when our hotel room started to wobble. Big earthquake! As Dan and I ran out the door (him in his jocks and I in my traveling outfit, the first thing I could put my hands on) the big TV set came crashing down the floor with a booming noise but we didn’t even bother to look back as we were in a state of panic—we had to run down four flights of stairs! Luckily the fire escape was easily accessible….. (to read more, http://teamtimex.timexblogs.com/2011/03/25/2011-so-far/ )

A new year, a new life, a new team…
I am on the other side of the world right now, and when this happens I have this rare chance to stop and reflect on my life from an outsider’s perspective…sort of, as I am removed from my usual routine. I guess there are some significant changes I have been going through, including but not exclusive to: getting married, moving out of the city, and starting the season with a new team.
Sometimes I wonder how I ever got so lucky–blessed with good health, family, friends, work that I actually love. Now I have the chance to be part of Timex Multisport Team and all I can say is that IT IS AWESOME!!! I showed up at camp a rookie and not knowing anyone in the team except for kiwi Keegan Williams but he wasn’t even able to make it to NJ as he was racing (he won 1st overall btw!). Before meeting everyone I had this insecurity of not being good enough for such a solid group of athletes and a real winning team…but I was reminded by Tristan and the other girls at camp that we were chosen to be Timex Ambassadors for various reasons, athletic performance being only one of them, so I relaxed a bit more. Timex took such good care of us (i.e. we were well-fed) and the venues we had were topnotch…Timex Performance Center and NY Giants Stadium–seriously!
Leaving the camp, I wrote an email to everyone in the group, wherein I said:
….I would just like to say thank you to Timex and the entire team for such an incredible weekend! I must say that I was not really sure what to expect coming here and on my looong flight back home i hope the passengers beside me will be asleep as I will be smiling to myself the whole time (this, and maybe inspecting some of my swag) recounting the whole camp experience in my mind.
I am very happy to be a new member of this family, and if any one of you ever considers racing in my part of the world, you have a homestay with us. Have a safe trip back home everyone!
Love Ani
Special thanks to Gemma, Avi, and Jewel of Timex Philippines for helping me get in the team and supporting me always. And to Princess and Neville + et al for taking care of the Ironkids Run Race on my behalf and to my sister Sinag and Waya for taking care of wedding stuff while I was away. Pasalubong for you guys! And to Dan–on my way home soon, promise!
