Marathon - Sport that can change the World!

              The marathon is a long-distance running event with an official distance of 42.195 kilometres (26 miles and 385 yards),usually run as a road race. The event was instituted in commemoration of the fabled run of the Greek soldier Pheidippides, a messenger from the Battle of Marathon to Athens.

            History of Marathon : The name Marathon comes from the legend of Pheidippides, a Greek messenger. The legend states that he was sent from the battlefield of Marathon to Athens to announce that the Persians had been defeated in the Battle of Marathon (in which he had just fought),which took place in August or September, 490 BC.It is said that he ran the entire distance without stopping and burst into the assembly, exclaiming (nenikekamen, "we have wοn"), before collapsing and dying.

             This is about the history and what exactly is Marathon.This can obviously be found in Internet,but there is always a need for introduction to anything and everything.I want to share my vision as to how 'Marathon' as a sport can change the World.

          Folks,the major threat to our environment is Pollution and mainly due to the vehicles which is leading to depletion of ozone Layer.The major threat/disease in Human Beings is Lack of fitness and Obesity.'Marathon' is a wonderful solution to both these problems.

             How can Marathon be a Solution ? Just imagine,like how Cricket,football and other sports are famous,if Marathon also becomes a famous sport due to Humongous people getting involved in it and enjoying it,then the rate of diseases will drop down rapidly.Because Marathon involves running and running is THE BEST Sport/exercise to be FIT and Healthy.Marathon as a sport has a lot of benefits,Marathon doesn't have an age limit like other sports,it doesn't need construction of stadiums,it doesn't need huge funds and so on.Won't it be wonderful??? This shows how Marathon can be a solution for the betterment of the Health of Human Beings.

          Coming to the MOST Harmful disease to the entire World - 'Pollution.'How can Marathon be a Solution to this?? Simple.Pollution is caused to various reasons but the most   important one is Air pollution,caused due to HUMONGOUS number of vehicles.So,if Marathon becomes a regular,interesting,entertaining,lovely sport for most of the population in this world,the need of Vehicles will go down rapidly and thus reducing pollution and thus leading to a wonderful change in the environment.The exact distance of Marathon is 42.195km.In all the things I have stated above,I mean that all of them should get accustomed to full marathon(42kms) or Half marathon I.e., everyone should be capable of Running 42 kms at one stretch or atleast half of it.Then,the vehicles usage will drop down as people will start running to reach out to the destinations that are in the range of few kilometres,instead of taking their vehicles.And thus leading to a Healthy Mankind and Healthy environment.

           If anyone feels that what if everyone gets addicted and starts running,won't it be a lot of people everywhere.I have a solution,when we can have so many vehicles on the road EVERYDAY and even then manage with it,then a lot of people EVERYDAY and EVERYWHERE will be easily manageable.So this is my Vision as to how Marathon as a sport can change the World.

I love getting up early!

          Good morning everyone!I am felling happy and grateful for whatever I am and whatever I have.Today's blogpost of mine is related to our daily routine-'Sleeping and getting up.'I usually get up late as I sleep late.There is a proverb itself about this-"Early to bed,early to rise."So one who sleeps early,gets up early.

           I am used to getting up late,but i wake up early too and I just love getting up early.There are several reasons why I love getting up early.

         First of all,you start the day fresh,when you get up early.You will be able to enjoy the cold weather,it won't be very bright outside,sounds of birds and above all,you can witness the beautiful sunrise.Other than these things,you start the day with others if you get up early.Though there are many who wake up late,90% people wake up early and hence you start the day with others if you wake up early.

          How do you feel if you miss classes when your school/college re-opens,and your friends or other classmates attend.Wont you feel incomplete?A feeling that you have missed something?A feeling that others are ahead?.I am sure that you would have experienced this at some or the other point in your lives.In the same way,you feel incomplete when you wake up late in the morning.Hence,waking up early,keeps you in the same line with others(or a majority of people).This is the main reason why I love getting up early.

             Getting up early in the morning also keeps you healthy,as you strain yourself less.And you also give yourself a good sleep/rest,when you get habituated to sleeping early and getting up early.You also maintain a good eating time table if you wake up early.Otherwise,you end up missing your breakfast,which is not good for health.A body works well when you consume food at regular intervals and mainly at proper time.

              Waking up early also helps you do your exercises better.I mean,you do exercises well and you put your heart and soul,while doing exercises in the morning.You might exercise well in the evening as well,but you will be comparatively more efficient in the morning and also feel fresh.

             Last but not the least,when you wake up early,you are very much free of the head-breaking traffic.You won't have to listen to the NOISE,when you wake up early.But waking up late,you start your day in an unpleasant manner with the traffic noise and several other things which disturbs your mind.

            So I conclude by telling that waking up early is beneficial and feels amazing as well.Follow this and you will rock your life-"Early to bed,early to rise."

Thank you all for reading!!!!!

An early morning walk!!

                Wow!!Early morning walks are just superb according to me.First of all I am a person who has missed wonderful sunrises,early morning cold wind,that amazing sounds of different birds etc because I was someone who was getting up very late in the mornings.Even now I am not getting up early everyday but some days I do get up and enjoy it.And even if I got up early I would be lazy to go for a walk.
               But today I was successful in getting up early and also in breaking the laziness by getting fresh and going for a walk.It was simply amazing and I enjoyed it by also listening to some of the best songs.There are many experiences in our life that it can't be described in words.
               Along with the good feeling of morning walk it was also a good relaxation for the body.It was many days since I had stretched my body and to add some flexibility to my body,walking helped a lot.I wish to continue such early morning activities and I am sure that it will happen.
