We managed to avoid the rain this time - but still couldn't avoid the mud - it's like nothing I've ever seen before!! I'll get some photos up as soon as I can!
We were a group of nine this time and I'm impressed that the girls from Monday wanted to do it again! I'm also amazed I still haven't twisted my ankle, or fallen flat on my face.
The people in the little villages we pass are already getting the hang of it: I got lots more laughter this time and a couple of groups shouting "Faster faster. You need to catch up" (to Rastos who is my hero at the moment. That boy is a gold medal athlete in the making ;-)
It also gets a great laugh that I'm trying to speak as much of my limited (but growing) Kikuyu (the local language) to the villagers I pass - some of whom laugh like crazy, and others just stare blankly as if they can't believe what they've just heard.
Made my way to Nairobi on Thursday as we've been having bad electricity shortages and I can't get my work done. So forgive me if I don't get my scheduled Friday or Saturday run in this week. It's a bit crazy at the moment!
But it's great to see FMCC "in the flesh" and talk with all those involved about the projects that this half marathon is going to support. I'm very very excited!
Hopefully be in touch again soon! Happy Easter everyone :-D
