Elgon Running Club, Kenya.

 Nairobi City Marathon 24.07.07

Hello again!

Yes, as many of you may know, I have been a runner since 1969 and have always loved challenges.

Pretty early I realized that the longer the distances were the more I liked it and the better it went.

Challenges can be of various kinds and by chance I came into contact with Edwin Kibet Maluche from Elgon in Kenya. For a number of years now I have tried to help him with his running club, Elgon Running Club, and the runners he trains.

The very special thing about this club is that apart from the fact that it consists of very competent runners, Edwin also invests in ladies and para-runners (runners with certain disabilities). EVERYONE can join!

Well, you probably already saw in the title of this post something about a marathon race in Nairobi on July 7, 2024.

Yes, Edwin will go there with some runners and I helped a little so that another 5 runners will get to go and test their ability. I know they will do their best, which is actually what is important. Do your best!

Okay, I guess that might be all for this time!

Try a little SMILE!

Try a HELLO!

Try to check AROUND CORNERS!

Ascension Day in Sweden usually means a day off.. or two.

 

May 1st and a 4 day long holiday waiting.

It is always remarkable to come up in the mountains springtime. So quiet and peaceful but also some noice from all kind of birds coming.

About 25-30 reindeers visiting.

Unfortunateley my right calf has had a bit of trouble with muscle tear so I have decided not to run Stockholm Marathon 2024 as planned. It´s sad but as they say: "With age comes wisdom!".

However, my son did run for the 5th time, without "hare", and did very well in the heat (about 28-30°C).

I just spoken with my friend Edwin, the running-coach from Kenya, and he told med members from Elgon Running Club will compete in the Nairobi City Marathon on July 7th 2024.

Remember Rodgers? One of the very BEST blind runners in the world. You may please follow them at Nairobi City Marathon 2024.

I also will start writing my blog again but this time the focus is not all on me but at least as much on the runners from Elgon Running Club.

Well, as always friends. Take care, smile and dare to say Hello! :-)

Easy, Light and Smooth!
