3:55 am
away along the lake. he planned to keep going for at least an hour. running had already taken him far from chepkorio. he'd made a good living and used some of it to help 20 local girls to start attending secondary school. and after that first marathon his dad had finally agreed, running was the right choice for him. >> and kiptum eaves
