UNITED NATIONS (June 2) - Hilary Swank kicked off a round-the-world run to raise awareness of the world's 1.1 billion people who lack access to clean drinking water. As part of the Blue Planet Run, 20 runners will log 15,200 miles over 95 days. Each participant will run 10 miles at a time. Just before the first runner left the U.N. lawn to set out for Boston, the two-time Academy Award winner said she had taken the "ordinary miracle" of clean drinking water "for granted far too many times." Swank told The Associated Press. "The real heroes are the 20 people who are actually running ... and putting their lives on hold for the 95 days." The runners will cross 16 countries, starting in the U.S. and flying to Ireland, then ferrying to England and France. From France, they will cross Europe and Asia on land, eventually flying from Beijing to Japan before heading back to the United States.

Mike, Morning Show Host for the Mike & Diane Morning Show on 95.1 WAYV - Atlantic City. Because I am an artist and athlete, I thrive on INSPIRATION and sometimes need INSPIRATION just to get outta bed in the morning. The BLOG is to inspire those who can use a little INSPIRATIONAL boost now-and-then...I present, MIKE's MOMENT OF ZENspiration.
What's My Deal ?
- Mike - 95.1 WAYV
- I have been a runner - on and off - all my life, but have gotten seriously into running in 2004 with a personal goal of completing a 26.2 mile MARATHON. I like challenging myself personally and have found that my personal goals and challenges in running have inspired others to set their own personal challenges. Alot on MIKE's MOMENT OF ZENSpiration comes from my studies in Eastern philosophy and by pounding the pavement with running. With 2 marathons under my belt and 2 more in my short term sights, I hope you can adapt these examples into helping with a boost of ZENSpiration when you need it...
