Asha for Education - Hats off to Medha
Medha told me recently that she is going to be running a 26.2 mile marathon.
O Man ! 26 miles, Indian girl ? Marathon? Running? (some of my stupid thoughts). So, I got more details from her:
Why?: To stay fit. To see if I can do it. To help children back in India.
Ain't that awesome?
Where?: Chicago, Oct 9th.
Training?: She started training at the beginning of this year. She has to train atleast three days a week. Also, the training gets tougher as the weeks go by. So if Medha runs 2 miles a day in week 1 she has to run 4 miles the next and 6 miles the week after that. There is a phase where the mileage reduces and goes back up again. Last weekend she ran 16 miles.
Too much hard work for me :)
Medha is running for Asha For Education, this group runs various projects around the country to provide basic education.
Medha's owns words and other details.
What can we do?: As a part of the run, medha is expected to collect donations to the tune of $2600+ . Various people and companies are sponsoring the runners and the event. So if you are interested in sponsoring Medha's run or seeing Medha's running log and to help Asha for Education please use this link

मन* से रावण* जो निकाले* राम उसके मन मे है.
Not sure, if the Hindi is correct :), I picked this line up from the swades song pal pal hai bhari
* = corrected.
