　　On the morning of November,Kevin,Ray,and Charlie started their trip across the Sahara.Every morning they began running at 5:00.At 11 a.m.they stopped and rested until 5 p.m.Then they ran again until 9:30 in the evening.Each day they ran about 40 miles (64 km).Every day it was the same thing.They got up and ran.They listened to music on their iPods,and they ran and ran.

　　Kevin,Ray,and Charlie needed to eat a lot of food during their trip.Most people need about 2,000 calories of food each day.Kevin,Ray,and Charlie needed between 6,000 and 9,000 calories every day.Thats a lot of food! They also needed to drink a lot of water.
