The Bull Runner

The Bull Runner Run strong. Eat clean. Live well. Daily Inquirer, Southern Living, Style Weekend, and Smart Parenting. As for Jaymie, she continues to run longer and farther.

The Bull Runner (www.thebullrunner.com) was created by Jaymie, a 30-something wife and mother of two who started her blog in May 2007. She wanted to share her newfound passion for running with anyone who cared to listen and to provide race and running-related information to runners like her who didn't know where and how to start. Since then, thebullrunner.com has received hundreds of thousands of

hits, bagged the only two awards in the sports category at the 2008 Philippine Blog Awards, and has been on the cover of Runner's World Philippines and Soul BGC and featured in other publications such as Multisport, Men's Health, Preview, Phil. In April 2009, Jaymie launched The Bull Runner Magazine, a free quarterly publication for runners. In 2010, she launched the first and only marathon in the world that caters to first time marathoners: The Bull Runner Dream Marathon. She has run ten marathons: New York City Marathon, Berlin Marathon, London Marathon, Tokyo Marathon, HK Marathon, Singapore Marathon, California International Marathon, Condura Marathon and QC International Marathon. She also finished Ironman 70.3 Cebu in 2012 and 2013.

Hyrox Vancouver last December ranks right up there with our wedding day. (I think we know by now that our love language is suffering together. 🤣)

Today, I was happy to secure us some tickets so we’re doing it again this December! Yay! So, we’ve renewed our vows:

We promise to finally sign up for a hyrox gym, go for a simulation, improve our run time, and last but not the least, to train consistently together: for richer or poorer, in extreme pain or not, till death do us part. 🤵‍♂️👰‍♀️😜

Week 3: Victoria Marathon training. A milestone run for Nia, and a reminder that marathon training isn't about being perfect. 💩 will inevitably happen during months of training. Commit to the plan, stay consistent, and allow for a little flexibility along the way 💕

Way back in 2007, just before the running boom of 2008–2009, the running community was so small that you knew almost everyone at races. There was just one run club for us: Happy Feet!

There was no social media yet. Just a handful of running bloggers writing about our runs, reading each other’s posts every day, and leaving comments back and forth. That’s how friendships were built: through running and blogging 💕

One of those running bloggers was VM. We saw each other at races, shared stories and plenty of laughs over the years, and she even became a TBR Dream Marathoner.

Today, we finally caught up again here in Vancouver. We don’t see each other often anymore, but you know how some friendships are. You just pick up exactly where you left off and it felt like no time had passed at all. ❤️

Hope to see you again soon in Manila, Banggi!
