I'd like to think I care more about running to benefit the homeless, or whatever organization benefits from my participation, but do I?
I run for me and my own practice at self-discipline and dedication. I enter races with friends for a good time and the challenge.
But do I really take time to consider the people behind the organization the fees support?
I do and I don't. I choose my event out of convenience for me. Then I choose it if I think the organization is sound and serves a larger purpose, generally. Then I choose it for the post-race party.
Today I thought about those who actually NEED the food served each night at "Friends of the Night People".
