After reading
the McDougal masterpiece “Born to Run” in December of 2009, I dreamed of
finishing a marathon. Prior to that, the
longest distance I have tackled was a 10-km
fun run, but something about the way the book was written made me dare to
significantly upsize my running experience.
Five months after, under the nurturing
coaching care of Jaymie Pizarro and Jim Lafferty, I crossed the finish
line of my first full marathon – The Bull Runner Dream Marathon, 2010 edition. It is definitely one of the highlights of my adventure here on
earth.

THE BULL RUNNER DREAM MARATHON: A Celebration of the Human Spirit
The Jaymie Pizarro baby, that is the Bull Runner Dream Marathon, is the very first marathon that I joined and finished. Way back in May 2010, barely 5 months after I got totally stoked to go after long distance running upon reading the book “Born to Run”, I crossed the finish line, seeing my son raising his hands in exultation for what his daddy has just accomplished. It was a life-altering experience.
