TRECHO TUFF TEN & TWENTY MILE - Virtual Run (2021)

The Trecho Tuff Ten & Twenty Miles (T4M) is a fun challenge that will test the seasoned and neo runners alike. It is a golden opportunity to pay tribute to a runner who ran for the mere joy of running with scant regard for timing or personal records. That runner exists in all of us, but somewhere down we all have become hostages of watches and gadgets. Somewhere the soft whispers of our bodies and run-passionate minds were drowned in impassionate statistical cacophony. Somewhere we fell prey to the maddening race to finish ahead of others while leaving our happy true selves stranded behind. We started paying more attention to the relentless ticking clock over the loving beats in our chest. We allowed the grey regime of time to lay siege over our run smitten hearts. We preened over screaming speeding automobiles ignoring the bystanding gently swaying greens.

Time will eventually run away from us and we will all run out of time.

It is time we paused.

It is time we halted the never ceasing hurries & worries and celebrate the present, the present which is gift of life.

This T4m step back a little and rediscover the yoU in the rUn.

Embrace your true nature. Re-establish connection with your inner self. Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away....
