Today, in my first official day of marathon training, I Covering 111 days and 4300 miles, all while running on the treadmill. How did I do all this in 1:28? Time travel? No, it was a documentary called: Running the Sahara. A epic journey of 10 miles on the treadmill. You can only imagine my pain in comparison to the three men who ran from Senegal to Egypt.
OK, I may be exaggerating, ten on treadmill was rather easy while watching this show. It is currently airing on Showtime, and Showtime On-Demand.
With the day off and the kids at home I made the best of it. I am not sure what it is about movies/documentaries about running. They are all tear jerkers. You feel their pain, every cramp, and every blister.
Their accomplishment really shows how easy or maybe how hard a marathon could be. I have only done two marathons, and both have pushed my body and my emotions.
Check out the trail below.
