One of the few days of the year I get homesick for Boston. What a great day it is.

Unbelievable. Got worried with 2 miles to go or so. Then he just hit another gear right before Mile 26 to the finish.

Post by: Bombastic Jones on April 23, 2014, 02:37:04 PM: I have a friend who lives in Dundori, I visited there and Nakuru for a few days about ten years ago when I was in Kenya for a wedding. I wanted to visit Nyahururu as well, but got pulled in different directions (the wedding was in Mpeketoni). You have a beautiful country with fantastic people.
