| Waiting for the Start! |
I discovered the
World Vision Global 6K for Water last year; actually, it found me. I had posted about one of my runs and the link posted to twitter. Soon afterward, I saw a reply asking if I had heard about this run. I had not, but felt like it was a good enough cause to participate. And, so here I am again!

| Mission Accomplished! |
Six kilometers is an awkward distance; 3.7 miles awkward, to be exact. Most runs are one mile, five kilometers, 10 kilometers, 13.1 miles, or 26.2 miles; before you get to the crazy ultra distances. So, why six? Well, that is the average distance people in developing countries walk for water. Think about that for a minute. When was the last time you walked more than, say, 30 feet for water?
The Global 6K for Water happens the same time every year (at least, from my experience), which is generally the beginning of may. If you are looking for a great cause to run for, this is certainly it! Keep an eye out on the website and sign up to run it next year. Not only does your entry fee go to a good cause, you also get a shirt and a shiny new medal to hang on your wall!
