We ran a 12K Marathon!

Last October, on the 2nd (on the 150th anniversary of Gandhiji’s birthday), our children ran a solid 12KM marathon, beating their previous year’s record of 6.6KM.

​What’s special about this? Well, they wanted to dedicate their run to the physical and mental health of children all over the world as a run, or any sport, is much more than just a physical workout/ a challenge. It is “I can do this!”, and “Let’s keep going, you can do this!”, and a whole lot of “I am not giving up.”

​

 One of our Falcons shared her experience on the the whole process on where they started with this run and where they reached in that journey, which can be read here. 

A run is never just a run. It’s so much more than that; it is physical, mental, emotional…and holistic. At SM, sports is an experience, a celebration, and we are all about pushing limits and growing from our comfort zones, watch ourselves become more resilient, set more goals for ourselves through the trainings and workouts, learn to work in different teams thereby, going beyond our familiar spaces, learning to focus more on the whole experience…And oh, there is more! We build muscles of growth mindset and go beyond our limitations and beliefs we that have set for ourselves too! And yes, this is sports for us, SMzians! Hence, a run is never just a run for us.
