Bull Session 3: TBR Dream Marathoners Longest Run

We were all set for the longest run of TBR Dream Marathoners early this morning at NUVALI.

TBR Dream Team and NUVALI provided free transportation, water and Gatorade stations, mobile hydration stations, marshals and security, baggage check in, ambulance, portalets, showers, and a coach.  (Thanks to NUVALI and TBR Dream Team members Neville and Edward for the fantastic support!)

The runners, over 150 TBR Dream Marathoners and guests, came well prepared, too. They showed up bright and early for the 4:30 a.m. call time.  We started slightly late after a short briefing and proceeded with our 3 hour 15 minute run in four different pace groups through a portion of our marathon route.

This was one run that will be forever etched in my memory.  The sun was beating down on us, and some runners were challenged by the course, but the positive energy was palpable and the camaraderie among runners was invigorating.  TBR Dream Marathoners certainly DREAM BIG and RUN STRONG!

  14. ANG SAYA SAYA NYO!!! I didnt make it.. but I hopped on to the gym treadmill and bike in between, accumulated 22 km to catch up on what I have missed.

    I love the support TBR has formed and how you got us all going, jaymie. yes, I am in. Because of TBR I have never had this WANT to be much into it.. a tortoise or a snail, to finish is the goal. :)

  16. The members of the NUVALI team of Ayala Land and the TBR Dream Team are indeed very happy that the 150+ TBR Dream Marathon runners (and guests) really enjoyed their first familiarization run & long run along the beautiful grounds of NUVALI. The sacrifices & sleepless nights for the preparations until the main TBR Dream Marathon race on May 22 – does not matter when we see that many runners are happy with their experience. We hope to make your first marathon a truly memorable event in your life:-)

  18. Good morning Jaymie. Thank you very much for I had a grand time last May 2 at the Nuvali running with fellow TBR Dream Marathon runners. Finishing the 21 kms was a tough task but a lot of runners were very helpful. Special mention to Lit, Jun B and your hubby for sheperding the 9-1 group. Looking forward to the main event on May 22. The lessons and joys I have gotten from the TBR Dream Marathon experience, I will sure to share with my friends and officemates so they too will get to dream and run a marathon.
