Half Marathon

I’m Shanthi Mariappan, running is one of my passions. I’ve signed up for Wipro Chennai Marathon 21.10 km on Jan 8th, 2017. My entire day is filled with many different activities regarding my family, work, friends , etc. i.e. thinking about what to do next, how to do…etc. With all these various tasks, when do I get time to focus on myself?

Morning runs provide me a space to observe myself inwardly. After a relaxed run, creative ideas/solutions emerge, not only for work related problems, but also for all different situations. This is exactly what Krishnamurti says about inward solitude http://www.jkrishnamurti.org/krishnamurti-teachings/view-daily-quote/20160817.php?t=Aloneness

This is one of the main reasons to make a difference for a great cause (relocation of KFI) through this running. I hope you contribute Rs 500 per km of my run. Thank you for your contribution!!!
