The Run Becomes A Job

Well, the "boys" are still working hard!! Or should I say - RUNNING hard!!

I get very little information in small doses and am doing the best I can in posting any info that I receive.
Please be patient but also keep checking back regularly for updates.
The "runningthesahara" website should be updated very soon. (not sure why they are not showing any new info yet)
But PLEASE, PLEASE log on and don't forget to check out H2O Africa!!
One "small drop" is worth "gallons" to the people of the world without water.

Charlie is moving right along and feeling really good! He's had some stomach issues but that hasn't stopped him for long.
It's natural for the body to reject the kind of abuse that its taking from all this running. One way of releasing that stress, by the body, is through the stomach. Whether it be by rejecting food, or immediately flushing the food out - the body will find it's own way to deal with these matters.
The amount of food these guys have to eat is unbelievable! And it is very difficult to eat when you are running so much. The body just doesn't want any food. But it certainly needs it. And it takes time for the body to adjust and acclamate to the "new eating plan."
In any case, after trial and error situations of the body and mind - the human spirit will prevail and keep pushing forward!!

They've reached their 50 miles a day mark and have gone on to run over 1000 miles in just a few short weeks!!!! (probably long weeks to them)
Give them all a big hand!!! Wow! What an accomplishment already!!!

Their only 2 days from Mali and will cover this great country in the next few weeks.

More info later.
