"We did it" 20 miles!



Waheed and I ran and walked 20 miles yesterday. We are both doing quite well, but the 20 miles was a breeze for Waheed.
So as promised here is why we are running so much, if you didn’t already know.

We will be running the Lincoln Marathon Sunday May 3rd to raise money for a home building project in Pakistan. “And yes” we will be running in a Sharwar Kamiz (Pakistani National Dress)

(As pictured below)
There will be several elements to our fund rising. First people will be able to donate 1, 2,3 or more Dollars per mile that we run.

We will also be taking orders for T-shirts like the one we will be wearing during the race. It will say “Omaha Rapid Response Pakistan “ in Urdu ( Pakistan National Language) on the front and it will be in English on the back.

You can get these Shirts by sending us a check of $20 to Omaha Rapid Response PO Box 642323 OM.NE.68164, with a note giving us the size and numbers of shirts you would like to purchase.
You can also help by spreading the word. We will be posting on our website all the ways you can be involved.

If you would like to run with us, let us know (there is also a Half Marathon).

Sixteen Miles and Growing.

Back in Omaha Waheed and I have worked our way up to running 16 Miles now. Our goal is to get up to at least 20 Miles before the 1st Sunday in May. I hope some of you have been following our progress. There is a specific reason we have been doing this and we will announce what it is a week from today.

Running Continued In Tampa

Waheed and I have continued running on our trip to Florida. The weather has been great over 80 Degree each day. This running thing is beginning to be easy for Waheed. Last Tuesday the 10th we ran 12 Miles.
The next day I asked Waheed “ How are you feeling”. He said I feel just fine.
While I was quite sore and tired. I think the difference in age and weight is beginning to show up.

Why on earth would we be running as far as 12 Miles?

I hope you are thinking about this.
More pictures and videos of our running adventure are coming, Please keep checking the blog

What are Ken and Waheed Doing ?



The temperature is 10 F , the wind chill is below 0 F .
Waheed and I ran four miles, Waheed was sore the next day I felt just fine.
According to Waheed the only reason you run in Pakistan if you are being chased, or if you are chasing some one If you are being chased you have done something bad or if you are chasing someone then he has done something bad to you.
Henceforth, hopefully there is not much running in your life.
Most time is spend planting crops, feeding cattle, collecting fire wood, No Time for Running
So Whats Up ? Give us some feedback.
