TICK TOCK
The clock is ticking as we have only seven days to go. This journey has been nothing short of unique, crazy and fulfilling. Day one to this very moment, countless and interesting experiences have occurred; one could compile volumes of literature from all that has gone on. From the amount of bandages Surasa has had [...]
The little things
Wow, here we are on day 21-three whole weeks and everybody is still alive and ticking along. Today seems unusually quiet, probably because it is the 4th of July long weekend. All the runners have passed the 1000mile mark- already an amazing feat. And today Dharbhasana needed a little something unusual to spice up his [...]
The Wall Street Journal did an article on the 3100 mile race which is pretty cool really. Because from that article we’ve had several visitors including a couple that drove all the way down from Boston just to check us out. Another guy came by train from Brooklyn and ran for an hour with Dharbhasana [...]
Two weeks down…
Well, here we are, fourteen days later and still goin. Already the runners are starting to get stronger and stronger. Even with the killer heat they manage to knock those miles back each day. Luckily, each day they change directions adding a little something different. For me though I’m always confused when I arrive as [...]
Day 12 – St. Nick in June?
I noticed the faces change of the runners at a certain part of the day. Just before dusk, a little after dinner, the time of day when… Sahishnu arrives. Sahishnu is sort of like Santa Claus I suppose, but instead of bringing wrapped up gifts with ribbons and bows, he brings a better gift, and [...]
Day 10- Wakey Wakey!
I’m fortunate enough to be behind the scenes of one of the runners. You get to see more than what they eat or what they wear. With a 6:00am start each morning, I suppose at some point, it’s gonna be hard to get up at 5:00am to get ready. In our house we have two [...]
Today was HOT!
Rain or extreme shine, these runners continue circumferencing this half mile city block in Jamaica, Queens, New York City. I really do NOT know how to explain the way these superheros complete mile after mile on a solid concrete floor day in and day out. And we are only on day 9. Still there is [...]
One cool thing about New York are the fireflies
One cool thing about New York are the fireflies. Up to this point in my life I always thought fireflies were a creature of fantasy and only existed in fairy tales. But when twilight arrives, these little balls of light appear magically before our eyes. Now, this may or may not have anything to do [...]
These runners are truly AMAZING!
Day four…. These runners are truly AMAZING! How do they do it? Well, they all have a goal and they all have inner determination. These two things alone can get you through anything. From shin splints to sunburn-you name it, these runners challenge it all. And most of them don’t even have handlers! Only 3 [...]
