Well, like me, you could try, every day, and get better doing at it :)

It’s been 5 weeks since I came to Iten, Kenya, to live and train with some of the best Kenyan runners. Needless to say, I am always at the tail end of the back, and always lose them on the road (they just leave me and I just can’t keep up with their speed). But it’s all good. I love being the ‘worst’ one. I am surrounded by people that are much better than me and I can only get better :) Below is a short video after a grueling fartlek session yesterday. Enjoy!

Please follow me, and share your thoughts and share this post with those that might appreciate it. Your comments are my oxygen, so please take a second and say ‘Hey’ ;).
