A full marathon is every runner's dream. It wasn't for me at first until I saw a random post in IG about the Dream Marathon. The story of each dreamer encouraged me to join and the fact that I will be running along first and second time marathoners.
A few weeks into the training program, found myself enjoying the journey and always looking forward to Sunday LSDs. Met a lot of new and experienced runners and running buddies turned good friends. Bulls of High Street was born.
Drawing close to race day, Taal volcano erupted. It has surprised everyone. Then, the change of venue to Clark, Pampanga from Filinvest City in Muntinlupa. But, we didn't stop running.
Twenty two weeks of training, Taal ashfall, plus Covid -19. Still, we showed up.
It is like getting to 21KM through 32KM to realize you will make it.
It is picking yourself back up a hundred times when it feels like someone smashed your feet to smithereens and you're running out of steam.
It is putting a smile on your face and a sigh of relief while you think of what you've been through just to get to the last 200 meters and you can see the banner waiting for you at the finish line.
