The Sri Chinmoy 3,100 mile race is held every year in New York. I’ve never been part of it – only admiring from a distance, but this is a good, short insight into some of the aspects of the race.

I organise a couple of 2, 3 and 4 mile races for Sri Chinmoy A.C. in Oxford. We get a good turnout from local runners, who appreciate the chance to run around the Peace Mile in Cutteslowe Park, Oxford.

Still, it’s a bit easier than the logistics of organising a 3100 mile race!

The film Challenging Impossibility is coming to Bristol in March 2012.

It will be an exciting exhibition of Sri Chinmoy’s weightlifting equipment, with also several screenings of the film Challenging Impossibility.

I was once lifted by Sri Chinmoy, (a relative meagre 135lbs). In the above photo, Sri Chinmoy is lifting 200lbs with each hand from a seated posture. This 400lb lift was during a long weightlifting exhibition in New York, I was also lucky enough to attend. There was perhaps 500 people in the room, watching the 70 year old Sri Chinmoy, lift weights which really defied his age and build.

Here we are presenting a ‘Torch Bearer Award’ to Mark Williams and his ‘mindfulness team’ for their contribution in helping people overcome long-term depression through meditation / mindfulness. For me it is a rare outing into a jacket.

It was great to have the World Harmony Run come through Oxford.
