The Spirit of a Runner

By WAm on December 13, 2009

For most people, running 3,100 miles is an unimaginable feat. But for Suprabha Beckjord, who has completed the Self- Transcendence 3100 Mile Race every year for the past 12 years, it’s more like a meditation. “My running and my meditation have always gone together,” says Beckjord. “I try to not focus on my mind’s thoughts.”
