Perspective

A friend of mine lived as a homeless person for two days in the bitter cold. He rewarded anyone who donated money with a gift. TV stations picked up the story and I know it made a HUGE impact. The impact resulted in people stepping up to volunteer, donate time, money, etc to local shelters. 

Below you will find a picture of Jeff Lenhart. He is the amazing person who did this. A link to the story is provided too. 

While training and running a marathon, it is mission critical to have proper perspective. This is why running marathons train you for life or vice versa.  As runners, we are all privileged to be able to run. We need to remember this most basic perspective.  I am thinking about taking my next race (it will be probably a smaller race like a 5K or 10K) and raising money for the homeless.  

What do you think of the idea?
