Yes, all 4500 or so miles of it. I was so inspired and moved by watching this, that when it was done I decided to spring off the couch and tackle Progress Test #3 for the pushup challenge (which I had been putting off for over a week now). Despite the fact that my previous max was 40 consecutive pushups, I cranked out 61 on this night! The power of inspiration, I guess. It’s a really well-done documentary, and I highly recommend watching it! It was also pretty cool to learn more about this adventure since I got to meet and join Charlie Engle (below) during his run across America last fall. He is one of the 3 runners who tackled the Sahara. He’s an amazing and unique individual.
