SG Unfit Runners Top 10 Most Popular Blog? We are not that Popular!

 During the Singapore Blog Awards at F Club on 23rd July, I was busy munching a plate of bee hoon, sipping hot tea and chatting with Budget Babe and waiting for the awards for the top 10 most popular blogs to be dished out.

"The next winner of the top 10 most popular blog goes to.... SG UNFIT RUNNERS!!"

I literally choked on my tea....

There was a stunned silence among my group while the emcee kept on announcing, "Where is the representative for SG Unfit Runners? Yahoo! Where are you?"

We did not expect to win a popular blog award being a relatively unknown blog writing on a relatively unknown topic.

Posing with REALLY Famous and Popular Bloggers

Thank you everyone for your support!

Come on, who wants to read about a bunch of fatty alcoholic people struggling with their daily lives, injuries and trying to get some workout!

People wants to be inspired! They want to read about elite marathon runners completing their 7th marathon in 7 days or ogle at the pictures of beautiful babes working out in a gym in their skin tight clothes glistering in perfumed sweat.

Yes, SG Unfit Runners is not truly a popular blog that commands the attention tens of thousands of fitness fans. Our traffic is so low that similarweb.com does not have enough data to rank us.

Therefore, for us to win the Singapore Blog Awards top 10 most popular blog award, there must have been many friends and supporters who supported us by rigorously voting for us everyday during the voting phrase.

Although we do not have the reach of popular blogs made up of hunks and babes, we definitely have reached the hearts of our readers who can relate to our day to day struggle to keep fit and our will to drag ourselves out of bed on an early weekend morning after too much booze/ Korean BBQ/putting-kids-to-bed and 1990s Ktv songs, the night before. 

I even had a pretty lady who recognized that I am one of the Sg Unfit Runners while fiddling with a popular dating app Paktor (Yes I am still single and putting kids to bed are the problems of other Unfit Runners) and she commented that our blog is "very funny"

And the last blog post by Big Boned Guy and his struggle to conquer a troubling stomachache while trying to conquer the Pocari Sweat Run probably pushed us over the edge to clinch the popular blog award by the skin of our neck.
   

That is my only explanation on how we could have clinched the top 10 popular blog award.

As such, we will like to thank all our supporters for all the love and encouragement you have given us. To honor our the spirit of SG Unfit Runners, we are giving away a small bottle of Martell XO which we have brought back with us during our Europe trip from the beautiful town of Cognac. To participate, you will need to

1) Like this post on our Facebook page

2) Comment on why you think drinking cognac will make you a better runner

3) Share this post shamelessly on Facebook 

Upon winning the give away, you will need to:

- Drink the cognac before you start on a 5km run and survived to tell tale. (Optional)

- Send us a description of what you see while running. Do you see unicorns flying over MBS or you start giggling for no reason during the run. (Optional) 

Alcoholic approves the above message!

Disclaimer: This post is not sponsored by SPH, OMY, Paktor, Pocari Sweat, Martell or the Cognac Travel Association. There are also no strings attached ( like needing to vote for our blog in a blogging competition) and we just want more people to understand the harmful effects of drinking booze before any run and you are better off drinking Pocar.... Water before any run! Participation limited to Singapore!

Afterword: The give away was a failure.... Because everybody thought that I was trolling on giveaways often offered by bloggers, so nobody participated.. I was not.... I am sincere in giving away this bottle of Martell. I guess I will have to drown my own sorrows with XO!
