Bull Circle: The Marathon Dream on 17 FEB @ ROX

This is the first in our series of talks for BULL CIRCLE: Running Talks for TBR Dream Marathon in Nuvali on May 22, 2010.  The first BULL CIRCLE TALK:

THE MARATHON DREAM
What is a marathon? Why do runners dream of conquering it? We gather a team of marathoners with various backgrounds—a Boston-finisher, an ultramarathoner, a one-time marathoner hoping for a 2nd attempt—to impart their wisdom and practical tips to guide you on training for a marathon. They will also talk about their various marathon experiences, whether it was in Pasig or Paris, to inspire and motivate you.

For TBR Dream Marathoners, we will also talk about the TBR Dream Marathon.  We introduce you to the TBR Dream Team, the organizing committee behind the marathon and faces you’ll see regularly from now until marathon day.  Plus, you’ll get to meet other TBR Dream Marathoners who will take on the journey with you.

We hope to share the message that you don’t have to be a super athlete nor do you have to devote your entire life to running just to finish a marathon.  Proper training, plus dedication and hard work, can get you to reach your marathon goal.
