“Pictures or it didn’t happen!” Well it happened: I ran 10 km in the 2009 Nairobi Marathon, and here are the pictures to prove it! There were almost sixty of us from ILRI, and we all finished without the aid of an ambulance. Finishing 10 km was a bit anti climatic because we didn’t finish inside the stadium. I’m not even sure I crossed the finish line because by the time I got there people were already lined up waiting for medals or certificates or something. Next time I’ll do the half marathon (21 km).
Some people even told me they saw me on TV running. I guess I’m on my way to being famous, maybe?

Great pictures. You need to stand on your toes in the crowd shots!
Awesome pictures! You’re putting my running regimen to shame. Keep it up :)
You should have worn the pink hat from College!
It’s in a box in San Diego. You could have worn it for me, in solidarity!
