Final Flight Leg and Arriving in Sierra Leone

ByTim Nolte Updated on

We got on our flight to Paris. It was nice to have most of us fairly close together on the flight.

We had a short time in Paris at the airport. Got some coffee recharged electronic device and took a chance to get to know each other better.

Mike likes to be the jokester of the group. I don’t think any of us got much sleep in on the flight from Paris to Freetown. Dawn beat me at a game of checkers on the in flight media system.

Leaving the airport was quite the experience and spectacle. We had a large group of young men that insisted on helping us get to the World Hope vehicles.

Curtis and I got to ride in the World Hope pickup on the drive to Makeni. Nothing like experiencing driving at night in Africa. I’m thankful for our driver’s ability to master navigating around everything from goats, ducks, children, scooters/motorcycles loaded with people, broken down vehicles, and on coming traffic that seemed to own the road.

The rest of the team road in the van together.

They can choose school over spending they’re days collecting water for their families. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon #RiverBankRun Double your gift…

    Focusing On The Distance Not The Pace

    ByTim Nolte
    There is a reason the saying goes that “life is like a marathon, not a sprint” and it has to do with going the distance. Getting back to the basics of marathon training means focusing on slowing down and building up the endurance needed to finish well. If I’ve learned anything from this past year…

    Feeling Very Out of Shape on My Long Run

    ByTim Nolte
    After getting through about half of my run in this morning I could tell that the second half was going to be a struggle. Over the past year, even though I haven’t stopped running, my running wasn’t always as consistent and my diet has been all over the map. These two things of course have…
