It is a ritual
for me to drop by the local literary mecca that is the Fully Booked Store when I am in the Bonifacio High Street area in
Taguig City. Last night was no different
and I was ecstatic to see on the magazine rack brand
new issues of 3 editions of Runner’s World: United States, United Kingdom and the Philippines.
Looking at the 3
editions, the choice of what to buy was
clear as day for me. It has to be
the Philippine edition. The more
affordable price of the local edition has something to do with the choice but
the clincher was the cover. You see the
cover of the Philippine edition is the graceful yet bull strong Jaymie Pizarro
aka The Bull Runner.
With hundreds of
local runners, like me, tracing their marathon genesis to The Bull Runner Dream
Marathon (now on its 4th
edition ) and her
running blog among the most popular, Jaymie is arguably among the top 5 most
influential in the Philippine running community. She is an inspiration to thousands and she
has shown nothing is impossible with hard work and joyful passion.
I must say it is
an excellent job for the Runner’s World editors to feature her on the
cover. Ennobling “(Stub)Born to Run” article on her at pages
40-45. No doubt, readers will all be
gung ho to run more and longer.
Living life to
the fullest, that is Jaymie Pizarro. Or
shall we say, living life to the bullish.
