Photos Day 8
Photos from say 8 are available here.
When Fred Lebow visited our 1,000-mile race, he said we are so efficient. I laughed, because at every second we are having a heart attack! He told me that we are making history. It is so true; the race is a real victory for America. Where else can they hold this kind of race! And this year it was won by an American. -8 May 1986 Sri Chinmoy, Run And Become, Become And Run, Part 18, Agni Press, 1996 The rest of the post here: http://perfectionjourney.org/2014/06/20/june-20-making-history/#more-36468
During the 6 and 10 day race in May in Flushing Meadow Zulma showed up to help. “I got there and I told them that I had never counted in my life. So I went to one of the counting booths and I said, how do you do it?” It can get pretty chaotic during the race because there were close to 80 runners going around the 1 mile loop 24 hours a day. From the moment she sat down and looked at the steady stream of runners coming endlessly towards the counting booths, she says, “It was amazing.” From the beginning she found herself being inspired. “To see all those people concentrating and having a smile on their face. Doing this all with such beautiful hearts and with such grace from God.” The first time she came she helped out for 2 hours but really wanted to come back and take a full counting shift.
