Well, I got them early in May....two NikePlus Badges (one of which is really unexpected, the other I kinda worked my ass off running them trails the past couple of months ---but it was a pleasant experience...pics to follow! er, soon). Anyways, to recap: I got the Trail Mix or otherwise known as the Off-the-Beaten Path badge (I've been after it since March) and the El Fiesta or Cinco de Mayo badge (for running...duh...last May 5th...I think its an Mexican-American event...celebrated in the US). Like I said, the latter was really surprising since NikePlus Running has kinda "swore off" of sorts (through their FB Support page) that 2012-badges of these types of "date-specific" badges was "non-recurring" this year (like the New Year (Fireworks), Valentines (Choco-Heart) and Chinese (Dragon) New Year badges)...and that "new"/surprise badges will come out...so we'll just have to keep "running". Yeah...right...whatever! ;-( I think I just got lucky and synched up in time to get that "extra" supposedly "non-recurring" badge...so Hooray for me! But still...Boo for NikePlus for this "mis-information" (I'm saying this for those of you who didn't get your El Fiesta badge coz...you didnt think it'll count last May 5th and missed out). Anyways, here's how my NikePlus Trophy case looks like at this time:
I know, not bad but....I'm still smarting from not getting the other "date-specific" badges ;-( but I'll keep on "badgering" about them in here (yeah, like it'll work). In the meantime, I'm setting my sights on a couple of badges this June: 1) The Storm Proof badge (its the blue one with the cloud and raindrop/snowflake) and 2) The "Comfort Zone" badge (its the one with the green couch/sofa). The Storm Proof badge supposedly could be gotten by "running in the rain or snow" at least 5x. While the Comfort Zone could be nailed down by "running repeatedly the same route...uhmm...at least 10x?". I have to check that, but I do know that they do get awarded (eventually) as I've seen some of my "NikePlus friends" getting them recently (I think). Well, that's it for now fellow badgers! I'll be looking for my "trail pics".
