This entry is coming a day and a half too late... oops! Yesterday marked the opening day of the 13th annual Sri Chinmoy Self Transcendence 3,100-Mile Race. The race, which is sponsored by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team, was the subject of my recent documentary, The Spirit of a Runner.

Good luck to the 13 runners who embarked on this incredible journey yesterday. The Marathon Team keeps a pretty up-to-date race blog, so check it out if you're curious to see how Suprabha and the other runners are doing! 

Also, they love the support they get from the local community. If anyone happens to be in or around Queens this summer, stop by and cheer them on!
