Food for Thought: On The Run

Running marathons appear to be gaining popularity in the past few years. Far from simply running a said distance and getting a medal, amateurs and 'pros' alike are going the extra mile, quite literally. Rather than be content with the regular 21km or 42km, aspiring 'Olympian' runners can push the limit and aim for even 100km. When it comes to the crunch, it's all down to the numbers game, chalking up 'miles' and medals alike.

Here's a charity idea - nothing new since it's been done before: Running for a Cause.
Whether you're planning to complete a checklist of races or simply achieving one to your credit, why not do it for a worthy cause. Find sponsors, generous friends, like minded spirits to pledge to your run and perhaps set a target amount to raise. Approach a charity organisation of your choice and get their permission to do so. Then train hard to accomplish your run. If you're setting a target to complete under a certain time, well, train harder! Raising money to benefit your charity & indulging in your passion for running - that should fuel your motivation to reach the finish line.

Note: If you are from Singapore, you can find the calendar of races here. Or simply google.

Blessed Friday!
