A Dry And Weary Land

Still need some partners to help me bring clean water to another 56 people, $375, before I run the in October. Donate Today: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

When the dry season hits it can be very hard on people, especially when their only source of water is a small stream, pond, or small hole dug in the ground. What is even worse is the many hand dug wells that just dry up because they don’t go down far enough. When Hope Water helps to put a well in you can be sure it’s a well that won’t dry up during the dry season. When I visited a village in e Sierra Leone, a Peace Corps worker there shared with our team that the well we helped put in literally saved the village during the dry season, as the other 2 wells had dried up.

I’m enjoying these cooler mornings for my training runs. That crispness in the air keeps you cooled down, and for me keeps me energized.

    Starting Off Slow, Then Getting In A Groove

    For the first 4-5 minutes it felt like it was going to be a slower day, but after getting the first mile under my belt things turned around. From there on I just slowly kept picking up the pace. This has been pretty typical with how my runs have been going. Hoping to get another…
