    Yes, I Did Get A Quick Morning Run In

    Give Children Clean Water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon I had to have slept really well last night, I felt great running this morning and the pace I was running at felt like I was doing way slower that I was. Where are the best places for wells to go in Africa? The desire with new wells is to place them where they will have the maximum impact on the community. In many cases this will be near the school in the village. Water has a huge impact on children in Africa.

    Getting To The End Of Training, Where Have The Miles Gone

    Nearing the end of the Thursday training runs, one more next week before the big #GRMarathon day. These short training runs go by quick that is for sure. The #HWI team still has some more to go on the fundraising. There is still a match going on so every dollar someone gives is really two. #Run4Water #WhyIRun Donate to Water – https://timn.me/2t9D4ne

    The Defining Moment For Why I Run

    My run this morning consisted of a combo of an #Endomondo easy and a #HWI hard Tuesday run. Though many might see me as not knowing the meaning of an easy run, ha.

    New Hill Training Route And Focus On Why I Run

    New training route this morning, something with a bit more hills. I was still a little soar from the half marathon on Saturday but there wasn’t any noticable increase in pain during my run which is encouraging. I spent time specifically focusing on why I run and thinking back on my time in Sierra Leone. I prayed specifically for our ETC sponsored child and his mother. I also took time to pray for some of my co-workers that I know have been going through some tough life stuff recently. #HWI #GRMarathon #Run4Water #SierraLeone #WhyIRun
