How Can You Run Without Water?

This morning as I did my intense interval training run the question hit me. How could there be many runners to come out of Africa when there is such a lack of easy access to water? Every morning I go out for a run I need to take water with me. I use that water plus try to stay hydrated throughout the day. In don’t know how I could manage my training runs with access to little or no water. When we have group runs, or you run in a race, there are water stations. In when the children in this photo need to go get water from the next village a few miles away, they don’t behave water stations along the way. Water for these children not only helps sustain them it radically changes there futures and the opportunities they have otherwise had without access to clean water.

    Providing More Than Just Clean Water

    I’m getting closer to my goal, only $255 to go. Partner with me today to bring clean water to another 14 people. https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon Putting in a well in a village in Africa is not about just dropping a handout to people and then moving on. A well is the start of helping a village help themselves. The responsibility of the well, and the well-being of the village, is on a team of leaders from the village. A real example of the saying, “Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and feed him for a lifetime.” It was a pretty good recovery run today. I was happy to have such a good pace after…

    Running, Community, And Living With Purpose

    I read this story tonight and it got me thinking about the journey I’ve been on but even more the HWI Daybreak community that I’ve been blessed to be apart of. Running has become for me something I couldn’t even have fathomed a little more than a year ago. Running for me is apart of who I am, and the relationships I’m building are a huge part of that as well. I hope that my running and my journey can be a light of Hope in the lives of people I share it with.

    Just Another Tuesday Morning 10K

    Since I kind of felt at an odd place training plan-wise I decided to do a long and hard run. I did however make sure I spent some time connecting with God through prayer and some worship music. During my run I couldn’t help feel blessed, and thankful, for my quick recovery from my surgery. I had the impression that I would have weeks of no running, but my recovery went so well I was feeling good for a run within a week. I also was reminded that just a little over a year ago I had just returned from a trip to Sierra Leone Africa. I will never forget my experience there and the impact it has had on my life. Seeing first hand…

    5K+ Christmas Morning Training Run

    After opening presents with the kids, and helping them get their gifts ready to play with, I headed out for a short Christmas run. I pushed it a bit as I wanted to make sure I wasn’t gone from the family too long. The kids were up before 5am this morning so it was good that I didn’t chance it and try to hey my run in before they woke up. I’m thankful for how God has blessed our family. I’m looking forward to more of a joy filled day. I pray that no matter what the situation any of us are facing this Christmas that we can all still have joy and thankfulness for the greatest gift we have received in Jesus Christ. #HWI…
