Hugs, kisses, tears, laughter,
high fives, reunion, vindication,
engagement.
These were the
rainbow of emotions and agenda that permeated the finish line of the TBR Dream
Marathon last February 16 Nuvali in Sta. Rosa, Laguna. The 5th edition of The Bull
Runner Dream Marathon produced 674 finishers of all ages, sizes, color, gender,
religion, persuasions and perspirations.
Of this bullish herd, the
Bicolano Penguin had the honor and joy of pacing two First Balfour co-workers - Joy and Iya. While using the 42-km
pacing gig as training for the Mayon 360, the BP got to learn a few lessons
from these two young and dynamic ladies.
Among which are the twin virtues of hard work and patience.
