A rough day yesterday for all of us. I slept in a tent outside Marshall's RV to shoot his morning ritual and his heading out into the 4:30 a.m. pre-dawn. I don't think I've ever experienced someone heading off for a 70 mile run in the desert in such good spirits, singing Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Betty" as he ran into the distance. The heat is really taking its toll. Charlie had some dehydration from the previous day, and we are out setting up shots in the desert sun. Certainly not the same as running 70 miles through it, but we have discovered the sheik look and why it is so popular in these types of climes. We are headed out onto route 50 today, the self-proclaimed "Loneliest Road in America." Charlie has switched to running nights, to combat the heat and dehydration. Marshall continues on during the day, his support crew stops every mile with cold water, food - basically whatever he needs. These guys are like high-end endurance machines, they need maintenance every single step of the way.
