DREAM MARATHON '16 DIARY: THE FIRST BULL CIRCLE

The first Bull Circle happened last September 23, 2015, at St. Lukes Global City. Everyone had been so excited to meet each and everyone. Ours is actually a different story, we met at Subaru Run so we already have communication prior to the first circle and where #teamguttom founded so watch out for that hashtag. But nonetheless I'm still excited to meet the class of 2016.

I've been to BGC several times but honestly I still dunno how to get there except riding a taxi. I know where the highstreet is but other than that I am an idiot with the streets around Global City. Thankfully we have decided to meet first at the Ayala MRT with Butter, Sab, and Nikki. And latter is much familiar with the place and she toured us how to get there starting at the commuter bus and where to alight. We actually planned to meet early as I need to get tested with Gait Analysis at Runnr. I wanted to make sure if I am overpronated (which I am now after the test) and what is the best shoe to wear with long distance. So girls, I wanted to Thank You for joining me there. By the way, Gait Analysis is free at Runnr or even at Asics but I heard they're not really accommodated if you are not buying a shoe.

An early bird catches the worm. Hell yeah! We thought there would be prizes for early birds so we took a picture at the hall as evidence. XoxO. I am just kidding, we are only excited. In fact, when we get there, the hall is empty except the chairs and the podium so we took the opportunity to seize the entire area by taking pictures here and there. Thanks to witty Sammy, she was born to capture every moment. XD

The Bull Circle started with an introduction of how it began through the speech courtesy of the founder, the Bull Runner herself Jaymie Pizzaro. And I was like interested all the things she said; it's inspiring and motivating. I know everyone started from zero, but hers is quite a different story. Then it was followed by her co-founder Jim Lafferty to give us view what is marathon about and what to expect at the race course. I believe it was followed by Coach Lit but I have left the auditorium already. Unfortunately, I have work that time which starts at 10PM so I had to leave at 9. I can't afford to be late.

Please see the photos at First Bull Circle. Thanks to Butter Toast for the pictures. XoXO

  

While walking around BGC, we went to the store where they picked up their Welcome Kit and of course, we can't afford to have pictures without that Bull sign. That's me, Sab and Nikki.

Okay, Bull Sign times 2 and this time with Witty Sammy. Look at her poise, the gravity is there.

Since the auditorium is still empty the time we arrived, and that was a perfect moment to capture the entire hall with  a full blast of photos. Just look at us! Who has the most artistic pose?

Our never ending wacky photo ops. :) This time with Dennis and Aldrich.

Participants continue to arrive and Sammy, our official photographers took some of the photos. Guys at the back I don't know their name yet but soon we will be friends. :)

And the program started, that's Coach Jim Lafferty talking at the stage.

I'm not here, but this is my Team Guttom Family. I love them so much. :)
