What Does It Mean When A Pandemic Hits A Country Already In Need

ByTim Nolte

As I ran another 5 miles this morning I couldn’t help but think about the added struggle is now causing in Sierra Leone. I don’t think anyone complaining about the U.S. hardships has even thought about the fact that we still have it pretty good compared to places like Sierra Leone. With all of our indoor plumbing we don’t have to think about travelling 2 miles to a crowded well to gather water.

A country like Sierra Leone is between a rock and a hard place when any epidemic hits. How can anyone survive a stay-at-home order if they don’t have water at home for both drinking and sanitation. The only hope they have is organizations like World Hope, and other NGOs, trying to help people in the safest way they can. If the water supply issue was completely taken care of in countries like Sierra Leone they would be much better positioned to fight against COVID-19.

    Tackling The 25K Training Speed Work

    ByTim Nolte
    The weather this morning was definitely more like Spring. I was on par to start but by the last couple of intervals I was losing steam. Still had a decent overall pace. I enjoyed the time to just be outside and have some quiet to think. #HWI #WhyIRun #Run4Water #RiverBankRun

    Almost A Tuesday 5K

    ByTim Nolte
    Starting off the week with a short “easy” run even though my training called for an interval run. Even though I’m typically one to follow a training plan pretty closely, I know where I’m at right know with my fitness level. #5K #training

    Just A Short Tuesday Run

    ByTim Nolte
    It was nice to sleep in a little before doing the short run, especially given my #Endomondo training plan has me on a 5 run per week schedule. The only problem with these short runs is that I get a little too caught up in my speed. I love having the worship workout music pumping me up to full speed. It was pretty warm out already at 5am. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon
