Half Marathon

Running stories by Sri Chinmoy

The Mystery of the Red Car

This morning, I was on my way running to our half marathon in Flushing Meadow Park. At my one-mile mark, somebody in a red car was trying to draw my attention. Who was in that red car?

The Brave Soldiers

I am extremely grateful to and extremely proud of those who ran our half marathon this morning. You are really brave soldiers. It was so cold! I ran four miles and walked four miles. That was enough.

Many years ago in Boston I had frostbite. My nose was seriously affected. So I was getting frightened that again I would have frostbite. You are all really brave!

Ninety-five non-disciples came to run in this weather! I am so grateful to them.
