I discovered Train for Humanity through Zen Habits and I immediately thought it was an amazing idea to use fitness as a means to pursue social good. And the fact that TFH was open to anyone willing to participate gave me no other option but to sign up. Running a marathon is a big challenge, but what better motivation do I need than raising money to help others?
I participated in a marathon in Lebork, Poland, on June 21st. I say ‘participated’, because I didn’t finish it. I didn’t drop my training and say “To hell with running!” On the contrary: I’m even more determined now to run and finish my next marathon. This time it will take place in Scotland, around the picturesque Loch Ness.
Follow my blog updates on I Run, For Life! if you want to see if Baxters Loch Ness Marathon on the 4th of October will be my lucky first marathon which I run till the end. You can also follow me on Twitter @OlaPowazynska

Wow, Ola! That’s one huge goal :)
