Running To The Beat
Nothing too spectacular about my run this morning. Tried sticking to the interval paces as best I could. I did pretty good but I know I didn’t slow down quite enough given that I should have gotten 9.2 miles in but it ended up being 9.65. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus
Having Your Bowels Cut Your Run Short
Yeah, it’s not pleasant to talk about, but as a runner you generally are aware of the things that can happen while on a long run. And when you aren’t someplace where you can find a well placed #JohnnyBlue things get interesting real quick. I had to cut a couple of miles off my long run this morning in order to literally make a run for the restroom. It didn’t kill my pace, I suppose it maybe helped to some degree. It doesn’t happen very often to me but I’ll have to be a little more cautious in the future.
Why I Ran A 5K This Morning
This is what #Run4Water means to me, what my commitment is about. My drive comes from wanting to see these children grow up knowing that there is hope for a better future. #HWI #WhyIRun #GRMarathon #SierraLeone

Bringing It Back Inside, Thanks Mr Weather
Had to bring things back inside this morning. I did have to think twice about it given that at the moment I was getting ready it wasn’t actually raining. Given the entire morning called for rain I opted not to get caught in it this time. Hope I can be back outside tomorrow. https://www.endomondo.com/users/7182108/workouts/908622333
Getting In Some Miles Early On A Wet Wednesday
As I was running in the rain this morning it got me thinking about the hardship that the rainy season causes for many in Sierra Leone. Like those that work for Enable The Children, the children with disabilities ministry, and those that #ETC supports. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun It’s crazy to think that something like rain, which should be a blessing to a people in desperate need of clean water, could cause hardship. For many though, the rainy season makes it challenging to get around and do things like sell their goods at the market. A well also brings safety during the rainy season both from a health standpoint as well as from the risks of trying to gather water from moving water like streams. Help…
Knocking Out Another Long Run With My Running Partner
It was a great morning for a long run with my running partner John. It was nice to have him help me keep a better pace throughout the run which actually resulted in an even better finish, both in pace and how I felt. Sometimes accountability it the best thing to keep you in track. I definitely feel more ready for the Groundhog Day Marathon now compared to some of my other recent runs. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus “If you want to run far, run in community.
