Running For Knowledge

"How would you connect running with reading?" The question that stuck-up on my mind as the speaker on the Blogger's night discuss to us the details about the Run to Read 2010. As the speaker go on with the discussion, I get to realize that one of the benefits that I get from running are the times where I could re-discover myself, put my mind on "blank-mode" for a few minutes, or make my feet and brain catch up with each other as I set a goal, reach a new achievement, or gain new ideas for the next day's office work.


"Run to Read Fun Run will be held on August 15, 2010 at Bonifacio Global City. The run will be composed of 4 major distance events: 3KM, 5KM, 10KM, 15KM and a 500 meter dash for kids with their moms or dads. An informative Sports Running Clinic for new runners will also be held on July 28th about the basics of running, healthy living and the great cause behind the Run to Read Fun Run."

The good news: We can choose any singlet color (first-come, first-serve)

The advocacy of this run is what made me decide to join the event. It started from a single person's idea. And I salute that person (I don't know her personally, but I think her name is Ms. Anne) for taking her idea into action that I am now getting excited about. I will be supporting this great cause as this is not just for me to experience a new runner's high, but because I believe that this will definitely give our kids of today a better future, whom will also be our next leaders of tomorrow.

My two-year old son, and my wife will also be joining this event. It will be our first, family running affair as it will also be their first running event.

To know more about the history of this advocacy, you may visit Ms. Patty's blog site, check out and add their Facebook fanpage, and the website of Run4Change.

Do we just have to ignore their need for a better Library?

  2. Hi Ms. Anne, thanks for visiting my blog. No problem at all, your buddies who were there at the blogger's night made it sure that we understand the cause.

    I'm amazed at what you have put up and I am already convincing my friends, families, officemates, and running buddies to be part of this great cause.
