Hey TBR Dream Marathoner: Care to bring this home on March 20, 2011?

Reminder to all TBR Dream Marathoners!

We have a Bull Circle tomorrow at 7 PM in ROX with Coach Jim Saret as speaker. Coach Jim was kind enough to take the time out from his busy schedule coaching the RP Smart Gilas Basketball Team to talk about how to prepare our body for a marathon. This talk must not be missed. It will do wonders for you during the marathon—if you apply his teachings.

On Feb. 26, we will have our much awaited Bull Session in NUVALI where we run our longest run before the marathon all together. This is a great time to practice exactly what you’ll do on race day in the race venue and along with other TBR Dream Marathoners. Fantastic experience that again, you must not miss! More details within the week.

Hope to see you there!

Announcement from New Balance regarding the New Balance Running Summit and Power Run originally scheduled for Feb. 20 and Feb. 26/27 respectively:

Greeting from New Balance! Due to the unavailability of key international speakers we will postpone the New Balance Running Summit and Power Run 2011 for a later date. We are finding the best possible date for this to ensure it maintains the best quality and legacy it is known for. However, we’ll continue to serve you more by expanding our product range so you can improve on your overall performance. We’ll still continue to be directly involved by sponsoring all your major races.
